Nation Simulation RP: Hel

Name: Skaekslav Counties

Government Type: Serfdom Council ~ Multiple Lords in charge of their own hamlets

Culture: Citizens wear work clothing, accustomed to harsh labor. Nobles and Knights wear purple robes, and priests
commonly shave their heads. Every month is the celebration of the sun, signaling the beginning of summer, when the sun appears most.

History: Descendants of stragglers who survived the fall of the northern kingdoms and settled down in a land of swamps and mires. Other than that, multiple hamlets have their own calls for celebration.

National Relations: Minor Isolation

National Religion: Each hamlet has belief in their own Pagans, who are believed to be powerful spirits coming from black ponds of the mire. Belief isn't enforced, yet they are commonly looked to for strength and guidance

Military Description: Each lord has about 2,000-3,000 soldiers, for war against each other. Should war with a much larger country become an issue, they will combine their forces, and an elected Lord will take the helm of the combined army, but the forces are still their lord's, and can be pulled away should their lord have good reason.

Soldiers wear hard leather armor, and the best available weapons are made of copper. Cavalry uses adaptable horses who grew in the wild swamps, and are best suited for any terrain. Archers are a relatively unexplored area, as most of their ranged combat is just throwing whatever you find on the ground. Each hamlet also has around 50 knights, with exceptional training and equipment to other soldiers.

Location on Map: Lower South, the whole area above the long strip of land at the very bottom

Other Special Mentions: The swamps and mires water is extremely deadly, and can dissolve a human to flesh and bones within minutes. Those who survive are driven mad, leading to nomadic psychotic bandits.
