Chegard

The kingdom of Chegard


Allies: Yardenfall, Achea (puppet)

Nature:
For being so far north, Chegard has a relative warm climate due to warm underwater currents coming from southwest. South of the capital Mirestone, there is rarely snow and the people of the region can farm the majority of the year. But the further north you get, the conditions for farming get worse and the settlements fewer. Above the iron-rich mountains, the lands are almost always covered in snow and has similar climate to western Edria.

Chegard’s wilderness are more dangerous than others. There are a very high rate of bears, wolves and wolverines who gladly attack lonely travellers outside the settlements.

About half of Chegard’s area is covered by forests, the majority of them being of pine and spruce. Some of it is exported to other nations on the west coast. Chegard is also a successful supplier of iron which they gather from the northern mountain range mentioned earlier. There are also a very big group of mountains more central in the region. But it has to low rate of iron to make it worth digging.

Rulership:
Chegard is a kingdom ruled by the firstborn child of the royal family. Whether it’s a boy or a girl. Therefor Chegard often have a female ruler.

The royal family got a council of the leaders of the big trade guilds that works as advisors with high influence for the monarch.

In turn the trade guilds will help fund certain royal activities and supply equipment and money in case of war.

The monarchs of Chegard have been rivals with the kingdom of Navea for a long time.
