Kingdom of Norwestria

Basic Overview
Home to the Fjord Kings of the Line of Magnussen,The Kingdom of Norwestria is one of the oldest, and proudest of all the Kingdoms of Men within (WorldName). Throughout history, Norwestria has managed to remain mostly isolated from the affairs of other lands throughout (WolrdName). However, the Norwestrian Jarls have a history of intense and heated feuds, and disputes, which have often escalated into all-out civil wars.

The capital, Winterhold, has for thousands of years been the center of all trade in the North. Roughly half of the entire population of Norwestria resides within Winterhold.

Location & Geography
Geographically, the Kingdom of Norwestria rests on the far Northeastern tip of (ContinentName), and is connected only to The Kingdom of Aveqar which lies to the South.

Norwestria remains mostly cold all year long with frigid temperatures between 30 and 50 degrees during late Spring, and throughout the Summer, and temperatures which sometimes drop as low as -20 during the Winter. For this reason, roughly 1/3rd of Norwestria's food supply is imported, and the rest is acquired from fishing wharfs, and whaling fleets. Norwestria is renown for its stunning displays of "Aurora Borealis" or "Northern Lights", which illuminate the entirety of the Fjordlands during several nights throughout each year.

History
Norwestria was settled by a fleet of Frostrim Nord explorers around 940 of the First Age, fleeing the desolation caused by the Dread Dragon incursions which ravaged the entirety of the Frostrim Province. The first settlers made their landing in a large bay deep within the Main Fjord of the region, in the middle of a very harsh Winter. They erected a town there, and called it: "Winterhold". The surrounding areas were referred to as "The Fjorlands", and after a prolonged period of expansion outside of the Fjords, the region was eventually formally recognized as "Norwestria", (The Western Kingdom of the Nords).

Over the centuries, many new towns, and keeps began to emerge throughout the Fjordlands, the rulers of which would become known as "The Fjord Kings". From roughly 1,540 - 1,890 of the First Age, a series of brutal civil wars occurred between roughly a dozen different rival Jarls throughout Norwestria, all who claimed that they were the "true" King of the Fjorlands. In the end, Thore Magnussen of Winterhold overcame and defeated all of the other rival Jarls, and declared Winterhold as the capital of the newly united Kingdom of Norwestria.
