History

Founded by Leo Cornwallis , chosen champion of Theodosia - Goddess of Family, Birth, and Love and Cobege - The God of War, Warriors, and Bravery. Leo's rule lasted well into his long life, followed by his sons and daughters until a future descendant was known as Rarorn the Ruthless. Rarron was a man who married into the family through the queen's 3rd sister. Though he had no claim to the throne by blood, he sought to claim it by any matters necessary. The day he slaughtered the royal family came to be known as The Burning Sky from just how large the fire the castle made was. Rarorn's rule was harsh and cruel, slaughtering anyone he thought opposed him and working and taxing the citizens to near death to feed his gluttony. There was one person who could stop him was the lost prince, Kylan Borkenhagen . After retaking the throne, Kylan sought to split the kingdom between his party, asking them for their families to take him or any of his heirs if they were ever to become like Rarorn. This vow became known as the Oath of 13 Stars, and each king is made to call fought this same vow upon being crowned. Since this time, the kingdom of Nordlicther has known peace on its land, using its might to assist other nations or keeping any other instances managed by either its military or adventurers

Military

The Nordlicther military consists of the knights and mages enlisted by the king's lords and his guard who leads each squadron. Much of this force is used to portal and protect the lands of each lord from fighting against bandits and the many creatures of the world.

Technological Level

While some Nordlicther villages lack things like pluming or roads, through the use and development of magic stones it is not uncommon to see villages using them to power lights, heaters, or create flowing water. In the cities the use of these stones has crossed over into most parts of everyday life. From powering lights to water stones being used to clean houses or cool houses. Through their technology being imported a lot of machines have started to be used in places like Parma or Alra.

Religion

While following one of 12 Heroes is most common in Nordlicther there is no enforced followership. Three of the most common churches found in the cities are The Church of The Heavy Shield , Faiths of the Devoted Heart and Collective of the Quill's Light .

Agriculture & Industry

The wide fields of Nordlicther give way to large plots of farm land. It is not uncommon to be  traveling or be riding a train and see some kind of crop near the edge of a city or village. As such many farming and plant guilds of plots and farms in Nordlicter. Some major crops that come from Nordlitcher are corn, wheat, and varies fruits.

Trade & Transport

There are three main forms of transport in Nordlicter. The first is the Global Teleportation Network which has a circle in each of the major cities.The second is the train system that webs across the kingdom connecting each part of the country to one another. While these machines were first developed in Stella Sol they have since been adopted in Nordlicther and have been a common part of life for the people as it was less costly to place a rarely used circle in a village and easier for new villages to pop up around the tracks. The last, and far more common way for travel is in wagons or cart. Due to the patrol, the main routes on Nordlicther are safe enough citizens to travel short distances without much fear. Though the farther they go the more dangerous this becomes.
