Geography

The Teesar Torrent serves as North Kingdom's northern border, as it did for the former Great Kingdom. This border runs from the Bone March city of Knurl eastward to the hills of Bellport on the Solnor Ocean.

The southern border is much less well defined. North Kingdom's claims often exceed its actual grasp in this area. This undefined border stretches from the northern reaches of the Gull Cliffs at the Solnor coast near the city of Winetha and extends westward to the Adri Forest, passing through the Principality of Delaric. This places the border some three days traveling south of the city of Edgefield.

The sovereignty of the lands south of this position are disputed between North Kingdom and the United Kingdom of Ahlissa and form a triangular area between the Gull Cliffs, the southern portion of the Adri Forest and the northern portions of the Grandwood Forest. The fallen city of Rauxes lies within this disputed area.

People

Though mostly human, North Kingdom's citizenry is also composed of many non-humans.

Population

North Kingdom's last known population count was 2,618,200 individuals, divided among several races; Human 83% (OFs), Orc 9%, Goblin 3%, Halfling 2%, Half-orc 1%, others 2%.

Religion

The worship of Hextor is the official state religion in North Kingdom, though Zilchus and Erythnul are worshiped here, along with the orc pantheon and various goblin gods.

Languages

Common, Old Oeridian and Orcish are spoken here.

Government

North Kingdom is an Independent feudal monarchy, but there is a strong theocratic element to the government as the current monarch is also a cleric of Hextor.

Executive branch

His Righteous and Transcendent Majesty Grenell I, Grand Prince of House Naelax is Overking of North Kingdom. Grenell is also a high level cleric of Hextor and as such he commands the loyalty of both the forces of the church and and those the northern branch of house Naelax. The kingdom's various feudal lords and all the leaders of the nonhuman forces in North Kingdom are under his command.

Economy

The once busy seaport of Atirr is now being rebuilt and trade is expected to blossom. The city is located on the Solnor Ocean at the mouth of the Trask River.

Resources

Foodstuff, cloth, electrum and whale oil. Given the current political situation, none of North Kingdom's resources are currently exported

Currency

North Kingdom has six pieces of offical currency; dragon (pp), crown (gp), noble (ep), penny (sp), common (cp) and wheel (iron piece, 20ip = 1cp)
