Riki Alric

The largest of the Riki's is the Kingdom of Alric. When King Bittell Sarikson of Dallerland died the crown was to be split between Alric and his brother Björn. Alric wanted the whole kingdom and so went to war with his brother. Björn and General Jorgon worked together to attack Alric from both sides. Alric gave up attacking Jorgon's entrenched positions and moved to fight his brother in the north. At the Battle of the Peaks of Pride Alric was killed in a cavalry charge and his son took his crown.

The son, Alric the Younger, forged a peace deal with the other nations spiting the kingdom per his grandfathers wishes. However as a concession for the war the Kingdom of Jorgon was founded.

Riki Alric is a large kingdom with a majority of forests and planes. The primary production of the land is food and lumber. They have a tenuous agreement with Hollow Oak allowing Riki Alric to cut down trees up to one mile into the Dökkur Skógur.

like the other Rikis, Riki Alric is very defensive and conservative in its foreign policy. This leads to the other nations in Útgarðar to view them as cowards and weaklings for not raiding and fighting. Similarly the Riki's see the Nords as blood thirty brutes.
