Northgard

Northgard consists of the area north of Michelm between the Secret Sea and the Boundless Ocean. The name Northgard descends from the time of the Dragon King, who aimed to unite the lands of the Northern Lights.

Northgard was always the Kaimundian Empire’s most troublesome frontier, and Michelm was the only province that was under Imperial control for any length of time. Elyria fell under the Imperial yoke from time to time, but never for more than a generation.

The nations of Northgard are fiercely independent, but do share a foundational myth — they were united once and only once by the legendary Dragon King of the North, who harnessed the power of the Aurora Borealis and ruled for centuries, before being defeated by a grand alliance of southern nations when he tried to invade the lowlands.
