History

The Armlands was the birthplace of the Adelesh people but had not yet been consolidated into a single kingdom until after the founding of the Amberlands. The different tribes finally came together in 64AC when they pooled their resources to start work on the never-ending wall to halt the aggressive expansion of the Amberlands and forever guard their border against attacks from land. This enabled the kingdom to focus almost entirely on developing their naval capabilities which quickly made them a major power on the continent. Their people have always had a deep sense of adventure and discovery about them. This coupled with their now enhanced naval capabilities allowed them to become the worlds most successful explorers and navigators. They say they've mapped the whole world but will only share their findings for a large fee. As their navy kept expanding they became the dominant sea-faring force on the west coast and have a stranglehold on all sea trade from the Sibian Freehold up to the Rind of Vlad.

Infrastructure

Although the Armland has mines, farms and orchards that are worked by the peasant class, most of their wealth is produced through their control and influence over trade. Their state-of-the-art ships also allow them to establish trade routes much further away than any other kingdom is willing to risk sailing to.
