The Kingdom of Marina
The Kingdom of Marina was the last bastion of hope against the Orcs. The lineage of the Vampire Princes lead to this. The first king of Marina was Hugleikr, a giant of a man who went into exile with those that followed his failed rebellion. He was tempted by Hags who offered a means of revenge, but refused them. His son, Sigmund inherited the Kingdom, and worked to secure peace with his fathers enemies. His son, Avgust would be the last king to sit upon the throne of Marina. He, like those that came before him faced an untimely death. The Kingdom would be divided amongst his sons.
Current Species & Cultures
The Vampire Princes
The Vampire Princes are divided. Although they all have sworn oaths, and in theory work towards the same goal, the peace that they have is often strained with their ambitions.

Needs & Relations
The Vampire Princes
The seven sons of Avgust were strongly united in their earliest days, but over the centuries they have become little more than a loose alliance. With each victory that they achieved over their ancestrial enemies, the bonds they had with each other grew weaker, as they saw the immense flaws within each other. As a whole, they take an isolationist stance with their neighboring countries. They have a trade agreement with the Sons of Thordin, requesting natural ores.
