Temeria

Temeria is one of the northern kingdoms, lying south of the Pontar river. Its neighbors are Redania, Kerack, Kaedwen, Aedirn, Mahakam, Lower Sodden, and Cidaris.

Overview

After the first and second wars, Temeria profited the most out of the defeat of Nilfgaard, expanding its borders as far south as Angren and Riverdell, reaching the Amell mountains. But the Kingdom also received a heavy blow regarding its economy, which forced it to buy goods from their southern neighbor.
Religion
The most popular and most widespread religion in the kingdom is the worship of the goddess Melitele, though cults of the Prophet Lebioda and Kreve also have their followers. On Saovine, children burn figurines of Falka, to represent her defeated rebellion.
Economy and trade
Temeria is one of the wealthiest realms in the North. Temerian economy is based on cultivating the production of various goods, trade, and extracting valuable mineral resources, from the mountains of Mahakam. The Temerian oren is one of the most used currencies in the world. Temeria also remains a land with highly developed agriculture, animal husbandry, and food industry. As Mahakam is officially part of the kingdom, Temeria has considerable interests in the extraction of precious metals and the production of high-quality weapons.

History

Foltest's reign
In 1263, during the First Northern War, King Foltest of Temeria sent the Temerian Army to Lower Sodden, in an attempt to help defend against the invading Nilfgaardians. While the Nilfgaardians were defeated, Temeria received many refugees from nearby Cintra, after its capital was sacked.
After the war, tensions grew with Redania, as well as Nilfgaard, and an influx of cheap Nilfgaardian goods started passing through Temeria, damaging the economy. King Vizimir II of Redania forced Novigrad into ius stapulae [1], blocking Temerian and Nilfgaardian goods from entering the city. In response, Foltest issued the law in Vizima and Gors Velen, in an attempt to re-stabilize the economy.
In early 1267, on the brink of a Second Northern War, Foltest issued messages to his lords and vassals, instructing them to collect troops for the army, and to store supplies and fortify their castles, prepared for the possibility of sieges in the coming conflict.
