Stalvan Colonies

While Stalvania is fighting over Valencia, Richard Stalvan has no intention of letting that be his only avenue of expansion. With his greedy eyes set on the islands of the Arcadia Archipelago, he has dispatched colonists to settle the isles.
The Stalvans are hardy folk, used to making do with what they can find and their colonists stay committed to this even in foreign waters. Setting up colonies and bringing riches home to Stalvania is only the first step, however. If Baron Stalvan gets his way, the entirety of the Arcadia Archipelago will be his.

Structure

The colonies as a whole are ruled by a Governor, reporting directly to Baron Richard Stalvan, while individual colonies are managed by an Executor.

Demography and Population

Human: 55% Dwarf: 10% Goblin: 10% Other: 10% Gnome: 5% Halfling: 5% Kobold: 5%

Military

The Stalvan Navy is young, but rapidly growing and with significant strength. While the ships may not match the strength of their rivals, the mercenary crews are well-trained and their crossbowmen have an unerring aim.

Technological Level

While alchemy has yet to make a significant impression on Stalvania, the colonists are increasingly seeing the benefits of, especially, alchemical weapons. While importing it is necessary, owning alchemical weapons have become common amongst soldiers and civilians alike, used for hunting and self-defense in equal measure.

Religion

The people of the Stalvan Colonies worship the gods when and where they need them, with few people dedicating themselves to any particular god. If there is any favorites, it would be Baal when the storms are raging, Frey when they are not, Ryujin when they are at sea and Marduk when they are at home.

Agriculture & Industry

The Stalvan Colonies have been focused mostly on farms, ranches and orchards, with a few mines thrown in for good measure. While still in their early days, the colonies are rapidly growing, with new industries appearing every day.
