Kingdom of Karlsfell

The Kingdom of Karlsfell is a major Kingdom on the continent of Sheogora, located in the North-West bordering the Kingdom of Hilgulir, Vinterfald and Vestfold.

It is the only Northern Kingdom to have remained independent since its creation.

Currently ruled by King Vincent Ravenford III, son of King Nikolas Ravenford II, since 7E-41, 3rd sun of Frostfall.

The Kingdom is under strict religious control of the Qhoylan Inqusition as a result of the Great War, making all worship of The Old Gods punishable by imprisonment, or death.

The landscapes of Karlsfell are diverse, ranging from grand snowy mountains to far-stretching green valleys.

History of Karlsfell
Consolidated ~2E-50, when King Karl 'the Great' Ravenford I united the folk of North-Western Sheogora.

A peaceful and prosperous folk, the Karlsfolk proved themselves skilled farmers and craftsmen, living simple lives in accordance to the The Old Gods.

The present-day city of Karkstead was designated as Capital and Seat of the King. King Karl had Ravenfort built outside on the open water, almost 200 yards from the docks in year 54. The construction lasted almost a decade because the architects had to design a man-made island for the structure to sit upon. Additionally, the stonework of the building is the most advanced in Karkstead.

Contemporary History
The Kingdom is still recovering from a war which lasted two years. Villages throughout the kingdom were burned to the ground as were heretics after they were beaten or enslaved. Karlsfell capital, Karkstead, remained relatively untouched due to its defensive position.

After the Great War, the Karlsfolk started rebuilding their kingdom. Many of the lost villages have been rebuilt, but disease, starvation and religious persecution are still plaguing the land.

The Karlsfolk has worshipped the Old Gods since the dawn of times. However, after The Great War and the imposition of the Qhoylan Inquisition, the Kingdom of Karlsfell, and other Northern Kingdoms were forced to abandon their old ways for the f aith of Qhoyla. Stubbornness or rejection of the faith of Qhoyla can result in imprisonment or even death.
