Riki Jorgon

Located in the direct lower center of Útgarðar is Riki Jorgon the smallest of the Riki's. This was the section of Dallerland that was captured by General Jorgon during the Succession War. He was the general of the armies of Dallerland before Alric staged his coup. During the war he sought to secure what holdings he could from Alric and so took up a defensive position behind the Fjord of Batami. Alric saw the defenses and decided to go after his brother Björn instead.

After Alric was defeated his son forged a tenuous peace between the three Rikis. In the modern day the three are tenuous allies, but each wants to reconqueror the others and recreate Dallerland. The decedents of Jorgon became the Konungr of the Kingdom of Jorgon. They are primarily focused on defense, this works because turtling is an effective tactic in the middle ages.

The nation is a rather balanced land with warm summers and cold winters leading to a large harvest in the fall. The military is made up of levied peasants and serfs with some professional soldiers to make up the elite troops. They tend to only fight defensive wars and are very self focused.

Trivia

• The longbow man is the standard troop of Riki Jorgon, this works great for their defensive battle style.
• The mountains between Marsir Eyjariki and Riki Jorgon acts as a great natural barrier. Not that they need it considering they are trading partners.
