Bjarnesund
Bjarnesund is the fortified capital and administrative seat of the High Jarldom of Bjarna in the High Kingdom of Fjallheima. Perched atop sheer cliffs on a rocky northern peninsula, it overlooks the Stormfjord and commands one of the realm’s most secure natural harbors. With a resident population of approximately 1,500–2,000 freemen, Bjarnesund’s economy centers on the extraction and processing of its rich iron, copper, and silver veins, and on the renowned forges that outfit Fjallheima’s armies.
The city’s stout stone walls and battlements enclose training grounds where Bjarna’s elite heavy infantry drill year-round, refining tactics that have made them indispensable to the High King’s guard. Beyond its military function, Bjarnesund hosts the High Jarl’s great hall and local Thing, serving as both the province’s political heart and a busy trading port linking Fjallheima to northern sea lanes.
