The Kingdom of Drelvik
Government
The Kingdom of Drelvik is a kingdom in the northeast of Vukeron. It is ruled by the king, Durnan Fielcus. Durnan came to the throne after his father passed away during a period of illness. Currently, the heir to the throne is Durnan’s uncle, General Kiloth Fielcus.
Defences
Drelvik has a large army that is well trained and maintained. The soldiers are taught special tactics to deal with orcs along with other greenskins. The area’s main terrain is that of the plains, making their favoured unit in the army, cavalry, very powerful.
The capital of the kingdom is guarded by a large force of soldiers, all under the leadership of the general. The city surrounding the main palace has large walls vigilantly guarded by a large force of archers. The palace is also a mighty fortress, capable of withstanding a siege or raid. Seeing as it was built with defenses meant to counter general orcish techniques and tactics, it is quite effective at keeping its inhabitants safe and slaying its foes in the right hands.
Recently, Kiloth Fielcus, the general of Drelvik, has come into possession of a strange sword that was recovered by a party of adventurers who were sent off to slay the Kharneth-worshipping orc chieftain, Bûrzûm Bloodthresher. The weapon has been the object of study for some time for the general.
Infrastructure
Drelvik’s main economic force is that of medicine and animal training. As such, the kingdom has an abundance of apothecaries, stables, kennels, and other, more exotic types of animal trainers.
History
Drelvik is not a land that is plagued with troubles, though it has had its fair share of problems throughout history. Most commonly, the troubles they have are marauders and monsters attacking and pillaging outlying villages. During the Greenskin War, Drelvik was nearly razed by the hordes, leading to a common resentment of orcs, half-orcs, goblins, and trolls. Another effect of this is that the people of Drelvik prize military strength and general order. The laws in Drelvik are quite standard for Vukeron, and are upheld rigidly. The land thrives and experiences a moderate to low crime rate under these laws.
Geography
Drelvik is located primarily on the plains of Vukeron. The climate is generally warm, with the land receiving only light snow in the winter months. There are many cities closer to the capital than there are farther out. People who live closer to the borders generally live in villages.
