The Northern Commonwealth is a union of clean islands in the North Atlantic. Its islands were cleared early and stay clear, because zombies cannot swim.
It holds Reykjavik, the Faroe Islands and north Norway. Its council meets in the old parliament house in Reykjavik. Tromso in north Norway is one of its ports.
Katrin Jonsdottir, 59, female, is the chair of the Commonwealth Council in Reykjavik. She decides who may land on the islands.
The Commonwealth wants to keep its islands clean. It keeps some northern islands closed and will not say why.
Outsiders must pass a blood test and two weeks of quarantine before they may land. Life is cold and food is short, so the Commonwealth takes few newcomers.
Mutated are sent back to their ship. Undead are killed at the harbor.
Fish, wool, whale oil and dried seaweed. It buys grain, fruit, tools and medicine through the Salt Fleet.
Allies. The Salt Fleet, which shares Reykjavik with it. The Alpine League.
Enemies. Anyone who tries to land on the closed islands.
There is no special stat block for the Northern Commonwealth. For trained guards and troops, use the Continuity Soldier stat block with a different uniform, and the Continuity Officer for a commander. Use Scavenger for ordinary fishers and harbor crews.
The closed island is the one where Brekka Station stands. That small permafrost research station is where the Z-Virus began in March 2035. The council knows this and keeps boats away. The station archive may still be there. Sofie Lund, a researcher at Tromso Research Dock, wants to find it.
