Elklund
Throwing seemingly endless waves of soldiers at one another in battles of attrition so brutal that putrescent blood perfumes the surrounding woods, King Adalwolf Vult and Grand Duke Elias Noielles engage in a brutal civil war. Thousands of refugees pile up at Wahlham on the bare tip of Elklund in a vast, wretched camp, waiting for passage across the King’s Road to Highsalt. But the Sigil controls access and apportions out passage only to those who can tithe a fortune to the church or who accept a form of thralldom, sworn to serve the Sigil when it calls upon them.
Foreign Relations
The last great king of the north, Orm Sigbert, married his daughter to the royal lineage of Elklund. This preserved peace at a precarious time and cemented an alliance between Thule and Elklund.
To walk the roads of Elklund is to have a spring in one’s step, though not so much from joy as from the shi"ing of the cobblestones underfoot as they’re stirred by the unseen fingertips of the disquieted dead upon whom they were laid.
