Faction: Kjellan Principalities
Kjellan Principalities
The Kjellan Principalities are from the survivors of The Ending, managing to survive the necrotic wave in caves and tunnels in the central mountains. Two brothers, Skeggi Kjellan and Bjorn Kjellan had brought their families and retainers to safety in the mountains. There, in the aftermath they split off and created their own settlements, gradually becoming the cities of Skeggoran and Bjornsa.
The cities’ main resources come from mining the mountains that they are based in, as well as raiding and trading along the rivers into the Maccan Clandom and Krygen Coalition.
Skeggoran. The northernmost city of the Kjellan Principalities. Its banner is a black crow on a purple field. Currently ruled by Agnost Kjellan. His family includes his wife, Egila, and his children Meri and Jonst. Agnost is content with the Kjellan way of life, raiding and trading. He is at odds with his distant cousin, Sjerri Kjellan, the ruler of Bjornsa, who wishes the Principalities to focus more on trading and having good relations with their neighbours. Skeggoran boasts a great forge used for crafting legendary weapons for the ruling family, named The Flottsmi. The Kjellanders of Skeggoran primarily worship Lochor and Ogon.
Other places in Skeggoran include: Talon Hall, the residence of Agnost and his family. The Skeggan Docks, the staging grounds for raids. The Flottsmi, a forge used by the ruling family and renowned warriors of the city. Axe and Claw, a blacksmith which makes arms and armour for the common folk. The Moot-Halla, a boisterous inn and tavern.
Bjornsa. This city sits on the river on the Maccan Clandom side of the mountains. Its banner is a bear’s head on a chequered blue field. The ruler, Sjerri Kjellan, is a young leader. He is unmarried and has no heirs. He wishes to change the Kjellan way of life, putting greater importance on trading than raiding. He regularly visits the Maccan Clandom to partake in tournaments and feasts. As Bjornsa is on the river to the Clandom, Sjerri often turns away Skeggoran raiders, much to the ire of Agnost. Sjerri resides in Graheardsal, a fortified motte and bailey. There is a great tavern here called the Bloated Barque, an upturned Kjellan ship. Bjornsa also has a grand market called the Riklig Markt which trades goods from far and wide. Bjornsans venerate Vedaudur and Strid, recently making Myrmidonna their third patron god.
