Norleen in Dramoor | World Anvil

Norleen

In the heart of this frozen expanse lies the kingdom of Norleen, a formidable power reigning supreme over the continent that shares its name. It's a kingdom where humans have not just survived but have carved out a civilization as indomitable as the ice-clad peaks that surround them. The Norleenian culture is one of resilience and tenacity, built on the belief that the harshness of nature is the truest forge of strength and determination.   The skies of Norleen are a canvas of celestial wonder, where the auroras dance in a kaleidoscope of ethereal greens and purples, casting otherworldly glows on the icy landscapes below. The locals say that these lights are the visible songs of ancient spirits, narrating sagas of heroism and warning of forgotten curses.   Norleen's ambition stretches far beyond its snowy borders, fueled by the kingdom's militaristic prowess and the unquenchable desire of its rulers to bring all of Dramoor under their cold dominion. Their armies, clad in furs and forged steel, are as relentless as the winter storms, and their naval fleets cut through the icy waters like knives through flesh.   Yet, despite its stark and unforgiving terrain, Norleen is not devoid of beauty. The kingdom boasts grand architecture hewn from ice and stone, soaring cathedrals with spires that mimic the surrounding mountainous peaks, and fortresses that are one with the very cliffs they stand upon.   In Norleen, the warmth of community and the fires of hearthstones are treasures beyond gold. The people are a community united against the elements, proud and fierce, with a loyalty to their land and their sovereign that burns hotter than the fiercest blizzard.   As Norleen's gaze turns outward, towards conquest and expansion, the rest of Dramoor must take heed. For if this kingdom's will is as unbreakable as the ice that forms its foundation, then the age of Norleenian rule may be upon us all—an era where the chill of the North encompasses the heart of every realm.
