Mistvall Organization in Nethdria | World Anvil

Mistvall

In the northern reaches of Sol, the ancient Kingdom of Mistvall has stood the test of time as one of the oldest polities on the continent. It is a theocratic and religiously advised kingdom. The sage kingdom is known around the continent for its impact on diplomacy, magic, and mysticism. Its people, the Snow Elves, are mostly found within its borders and rarely leave. It is ruled by a monarch with a complex set of administrators, magistrates, and bureaucrats who keep the monarchy running smoothly. The Queen is also the high priestess of the nation, seen as being able to receive revelation from Saathvir, god of the Snow Elves.

Demography and Population

Snow Elves

The natives of Mistvall as well as the majority, ruling class, and primary makeup of the citizenry of the kingdom. They can be found all across Mistvall, in all sectors, and form the majority of more or less every settlement. The natives tend to get along well with the foreign races found in the kingdom due to their naturally friendly and cosmopolitan demeanor.  

Northmen

A minority race in Mistvall, the Northmen are found all throughout the kingdom in both urban and rural locations. They can be found in most sectors, but the majority tend to fall into jobs that favor physical prowess that can't be filled by the average Snow Elf. A Northman will often find work as a stableman, mercenary, bodyguard, sailor, blacksmith, or simple work. In a kingdom of all kinds of elves, the Northmen sometimes feel alienated from everyone else, but they tend to have more in common with the more raucous Desert Elves and Orcs in comparison to the more bashful High Elves and Snow Elves.  

Other Elves

Other races of elves can be found within the borders of Mistvall, particularly in bigger cities as they're more cosmopolitan. In the south, significant pockets of Desert Elves, Orcs, and High Elves can be found. Desert Elves tend to ply their trade as weaponsmiths, traders, and military engineers, while High Elves can often be found in more specialized areas in shops or institutions relating to magic, especially alchemy and the restoration school of magic. Orcs, on the other hand, can mostly be found as either mercenaries or off in their own strongholds.

Notable Members

Friendly

The two elven kingdoms enjoy friendly relations and are engaged in many diplomatic missions that encourage commerce and joint military training.

Peace

Ayrith seems to be ready to pursue better relations but Mistvall, due to the sudden advance in the culture and sophistication of Ayrith from princedoms and city states to a powerful empire, would prefer to keep the upstart humans at an arm's length. Friendly but cautious.

Peace

Business as usual, the two enjoy an ancient history of commerce, normal relations, and the flow of ideas. Currently, they are peaceful but not cordial.

Brink of War

For centuries, Daeruin has had a slave class made up of mostly Snow Elves, causing relations with Mistvall to be, essentially, impossible. Tensions have been extremely high for centuries, the nations border on all-out warfare.
