Kingdom of Granfjell

The Kingdom of Granfjell is claimed to be amongst the oldest in Aldion, based on the fact that the current ruler can be traced back to a forefather that ruled a kingdom in the same area in the 13th century. Times then were more tumultuous for the kingdom than they have been in more recent centuries. The kingdom prides itself on not having been at war in the last 100 years and has frequently stepped forward as a neutral party during negotiations involving other countries.   The kingdom is situated towards the cold pole and has a largely sub-arctic climate. The mountainous country, even up to its coasts makes living here challenging. The Sørsk population, as its inhabitants are called, have however managed to deal with the harsh conditions and make a good living out of the country. Though the mountains make for little living space, the nation has made great use of the fertile valleys, thick forests and rich coastal waters. Plentiful wildlife makes for an abundance of food, hides and fur to fight the winter conditions. Together with the rugged terrain that makes it hard to invade a kingdom like Granfjell.   Using their experience from back home, the Sørsk people were eager to claim the part of Sinisterra with similar conditions. Where other nations were discouraged to settle there because of the conditions, the Sørsk have managed to generate great wealth and power from it. By importing furs, leathing and raw resources from rich coal, iron, silver and gold mines, the industrial sector at home in Granfjell has developed impressively.
