Hunaland
Hunaland is a large land in the heart of Midgard, bounded by Valland, Aujum, and Reidgotaland, with the Sudurberks forming the southern border.
Five kingdoms compose the land: Rijnland, Menzlin, Swabia, Baia, and Styria. Each of these kingdoms remains engaged in a continuous struggle with the neighboring kingdoms to reunify the land. However, until recently, most of the hostilities have played out through economic manipulations and political machinations, not open warfare.
Among the most powerful kingdoms, Rijnland (Völsung’s kingdom) was poised to unite Hunalandbefore they were betrayed by Siggeir Wolfsblood of Skane.
History
The lands were traditionally home to numerous tribes descended primarily from the Siklings. However, approximately a hundred years ago, the Huns swept across Midgard. This led to the Great March of the Æsir into Aujum and to the conquest and establishment of Hunaland. The Hunnish alliance collapsed shortly thereafter and they intermarried with the native tribes, resulting in five kingdoms within Hunaland.
Inspiration
Hunaland covers a vast swathe of what would be modern Europe, encompassing Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, and part of Poland. The name comes from the Poetic Edda (and appears in other sagas as well, such as the Hervarar Saga). In Norse mythology, Volsung and his descendants are Hunnish kings. Historically, the myths seem to conflate the Huns and certain Frankish kingdoms.
