This was the literal birthplace of humanity and the last bastion of Oriculum to fall. After the times of tribulation, it was abandoned much like its people and has had no choice but to carve its place into this unforgiving world.
The
Overlaird is in absolute control over the entire kingdom, however, it is the tradition that each province is allowed to independently rule itself with only a short list of the Overlaird decrees being universal for each province.
They claim strict neutrality in conflicts and are merely interested in surviving as a nation for as long as possible. Fortunately, their secluded and easily defendable geography makes this easy.
Main trade is in their engineers who are some of the best defensive designers on the continent of Acasa.
Slave trade is also fairly common although they never actively capture slaves they merely deal in their trading.
The Kingdom of Nilsof was created by the first human
Nikandrios with help from the Volui Elf
Glisendel, the Orc
Obould, and the silver dragon
Lutiya. It began with the city of Kinhark and after years of war they managed to wrench this region form the hand of the Unseelie Regime and tehir lesser counterpart The Red Emopire. This kingdom has only had 4 Overlairds in its 3500 years that it has existed although it has had many different Lairds.
The various Overlairds began with Nikandrios, The God-Hero who attained his status as a god by slaying many Archfeyans and absobing their primordial essence along with the human people's beliefs that he was to be their salvation.
The second Overlaird was Regtar, The Deserter who after nearly 500 years as the Overlaird took with him nearly 10,000 men women and children to settle lands that were across the Never Sleeping Sea and has since been called The Deserter for leaving behind his other subjects.
Between his rule and the next a half-orc sorceress known as Orgiba managed to gain power among the people and managed to convince many thousands to follow her to The Wild Circut with hopes of rebuilding the Oriculum Dominion
The next to rule as Overlaird was Janais, The Third and Oft-Forgotten who took up the mantle that was left behind and while he did not do much that was extraordinary he did keep the people of Nilsof safe while the newly formed Republic of Kenebkez attempted to retake the land
The most current Overlaird is The Mighty and Everlasting Matok Sam, The Overseer who has ruled for nearly 1000 years now and was the one who lead the final charge that pushed the Republic past the Forrest of the Fall
The Majority of Nilsof is comprised mainly of Humans
The Minority group in Nilsof are Orcs who have had their numbers in this kingdom reduced both by
The Deserter and
The Sorceress
There are also a few Enclaves of free Halflings
Dwarfs commonly visit for trade and Volui Elfs while not common seen regularly although they usually face discrimination for being confused for Unseelie Elfs
The lands that they hold are the ancestral lands of all humans since below the soil and into the Underdark are the very Laboratories where the first of their kind was created. In total they control about 8500 square miles of land which is secluded past a valley and that touches the sea.
They trade commonly with the Dwarfs of the
Dunn-Durr Mountian Kingdom which rings their nation goods from the various nations in
Wexum
They have little to no trade relation with the various tribes of the
Wild Circut to the south
The
Republic of Kenebkez, sometimes called the
Red Empire since not long ago it was, and
Nilsof have almost no trade relations and most encounters lead to skirmishes. The only thing Nilsof receives from them are slaves by way of the
Northern Caliphate.
Relations with the
Free State of Shutov are almost non-existent although various Lairds in
Nilsof have discussed providing support to them in their fight against the
Republic of Kenebkez
Agriculture is not something that the land here takes well to and as such they focus most of their efforts on making paper for cibusmaking which is when they create magic scrolls capable of producing bland yet nourishing foodstuffs and clean water.
Their main trade is in these cibusscrolls and in slaves who they are adept at caring for and training for various uses. Nilsof also has very capable defensive engineers who they commonly hire out to other nations.
