Empire of Northern Skies
Public Agenda
The Empire of the Northern Skies is a recent empire formed by the conglomeration of numerous Birdfolk, Valkyr, Orc, and Goblin bands. The goal is both to forge a grand and free empire for these fringe peoples, and to seek the strength to take revenge against the elves.
Demography and Population
The Kingdom is dominated by a high-ranking Birdfolk elite, with many newer nobility, bourgeoisie, and citizens coming from Orc Warbands, Goblin Battlebands, humans, trolls, ogres, giants who have joined the kingdom and settled upon the formerly isolated and empty floating islands and vales of the northern Sarak Mountains.
Military
The military of the kingdom is dominated by Polearm-wielding Birdfolk knights (known as Eagle Warriors) and archers as well as predominantly Orcish and Human Griffinknights.
Religion
The Church of Kol is the kingdom's official religion, but old faiths of many tribal groups are common, and while not encouraged, are not illegal.
Foreign Relations
The Kingdom has declared itself the mortal and eternal enemy of the Eldar Ascendancy. It is neutral to the Dwarkun domains far beneath it.
Agriculture & Industry
Due to the extreme cold in the far north, particularly so far up, most agriculture is conducted within massive greenhouses. Livestock, particularly cowbirds, are commonly cultivated. The lands below the floating islands are cultivated for pasture, lumber, and metals.
Trade & Transport
The kingdom has an extensive trade network, which mainly draws from their ties to the Principality of Tsion and the Dwarkun Empire. Rare minerals and goods from flying animals are traded for dwarvish metals and Tsionish food.
