Kjarra
The Northern Kingdom
Most classical of the human realms, Kjarra is a kingdom occupying the northwestern reaches of the continent. Made up of enormous mountains in the north and dry, cold valleys in the south, with taiga forests throughout most of the country, the land of Kjarra has been described as harsh and unforgiving. While a thousand years may mean little to the Elves who once held dominion over these lands, to the Humans who call them home now, this kingdom is the oldest of the realms of man. Specifically, the kingdom is home to the Northmen, who carved a path of settlement and war over a thousand years ago, driving out the indigenous elven population to make way for waves of settlers coming from the icy shores of Urai, homeland of the human races. To many of their neighbors, Kjarra may seem like poor real estate with its marshy bogs, endless forests, dangerous mountains, and frigid cold. However, to those who fought and died for this homeland, they have bled and toiled to make it into a home worthy of themselves. Some say only the Northmen were brave and stalwart enough to take on such a bitter place and carve something out of it. Today, it is a land of quarrelsome ambition, and unending strife between powerful warlords vying for control as the High King's days grow ever short.
