North Dalimar

(Main Article: The World of Avalon )

One of Alexandria’s superpower nations, North Dalimar boasts an impressive military force and access to vast resources from its network of mines. It often plies pressure on Bronté to push nearer its rival, Alexandros, but has so far avoided any openly hostile activity. Split long ago due to a succession war, North and South Dalimar are independent kingdoms. For the most part, the North is content to leave its sister kingdom alone; having vastly greater resources, and more fertile lands, there would be little gain from invasion. The capital, Two Kings, is named in homage and mockery of the division. Nestled within the mountains, it is quite difficult to reach with any substantial force.

Their military is composed of three factions; the Lightning Unit (impressively trained archers and marksmen), the Thorn Unit (Footmen and Pikes), and the Wolf Unit (Cavalry set upon Dire Wolves). Horses are not used in combat whenever wolves are available.

Their main exports come in the form of various precious ores, wheat, and alcohol. Dalimar’s signature drink is called Troll Whisky; a beverage both feared and loved. The people of Northern Dalimar can seem arrogant to outsiders, and quick to anger. Culturally, it is in good spirits that they challenge each other: the soul of North Dalimar is one where people push themselves constantly to achieve greater and greater things. .

The Red Wilds
The border of Beralise and North Dalimar is shrouded by a natural barrier known as the Red Wilds. It also serves to provide the Wolf Unit with their impressive Dire Wolves. The forests here are dangerous in a vastly different way than the Feywood. The beasts and trees of this region are under the protection of the Horned King. Hunters take great risk in poaching here, and wolf trappers rarely tread deep into the woods or foothills without some form of protection.
