Novgorod
Novgorod has bitter winters and mild summers. mountains to the east and the ocean to the west. big fields and farmlands cover most of the land with thick woods being rare. most homes and buildings are made of stone and imported woods.
Novgorod neighbors Vellden a small but extremely liberal country. Novgorod hates Vellden to point where walls where built on there borders of each other, and traveling to Vellden wasn't allowed unless you presented good reason to go there.

Public Agenda
Ths Novain family wants to keep there land there's. there hate for religion and keeping it out of their homeland is well known... as well as there want to spread there kind of rule and ideals to other counters.
Assets
All tho Novgorod isnt filled with lush woods, it is filled with rich irons and strong people. Novgorod is known for is skill at making specialized weapons and tools.
Blood Bronze- a type of metal they found in the great minds in there mountains. as strong as iron but when heated up is bendable as rubber. known for its reddish Bronze color
The Bronze Skull- There army of extremely well trained koroblin woman. there armor is more for detector then to protect their flesh. there known for harming them selfs to get into there 2nd from faster. they tend to kill law breakers rather then taking them in court. if they do take someone to court you know they did something truly against the crown.
Chest breaker- a spear/lance like weapon made to be used on horseback. used to trip people and with its heavy iron tip can destroy rib cages very easily. used only on humans as killing a koroblin this way will only lead to its 2nd form.
Beheader- A thick and sharp sword that curves at the end. made to behead Koroblins killing them and there 2nd form as soon as possible. but unlike the chest breaker the Beheader is hard to handle and use right. only a skilled person can use them well.
History
Starting in the year 70 the Novain family was nothing more then the owners of vast unclaim land, as timed pass and they needed farmers and miners for there land they let people move in. after some time it soon became a kingdom and then much more then that. all tho never going to war with outside forces riots would often happen as the Crown has harsh rules. there armys where only used on there own people never the outside world.
Demography and Population
All tho all nobles are Koroblin, 60% of the population is human.
Territories
Novgorod's land is bare and harsh, but the land its self is filled with minerals and rare gems. landscape wise Novgorod is full of wide plains and mountains that seemly come out of nowhere. these mountains are rocky and bare, rarely do you see plants other then grass grow on them. the the ocean to the west is cold with a stony beach.
the wild life is build for life on the plains, Buffalo, wild horses, goats, pronghorn, and foxes.
All tho one would think winter would be the hardest time of the year its Summers in Novgorod have all ways been the hardest time of the year. with the flat lands and heavy rain in spring and summer temporary ponds become perfect breeding ground for Mosquito's and other bugs. many wild life die form said Mosquito's from those bodies breed whats even worst to the Novgorod lands. Bile Flies, ill smelling bugs that fly in huge swarms. they feast on the blood of the living and lay there eggs in the dead.
Military
The Bronze Skull- The extremely well trained koroblin woman who fight in the name of the crown. its said they have never lost a fight.
Religion
Religion is illegal. It's seen as going against The Crown, The Crown feeds you, house you, gives you jobs. The Gods do nothing for you. none the less the more religion in Novgorod the less people put there blind faith in the crown.
Foreign Relations
once open to talking to other kingdoms, and once opened with free travel. Novgorod has now closed there walls to all but traders. all tho there neighboring kingdom of Vellden, is a more complicated relationship. with bad feelings on both sides.
Trade & Transport
Roads are made for horseback and carriages.
Education
only the noble even have time to go to school, the rest take their own time to learn. Collages are few and far between, teaching anything under the sun but magic and religion.
