The Duchy of Nyrheim is founded

Founding

The viking leader Rolf "Lionheart" lays seige to the capital of Floren and negotiates a deal with the crown to found a dwarven duchy on the northern coast.

An ambitious viking named Rolf led a fleet unlike any the north had ever seen. The dwarven longships barrelled into the heart of the country and made demands directly from the throne. When Rolf attempted to flee from the Floren cavalry, he was unable to board his ships and made a defensive wall by slaughtering his army's livestock. The enemy charge halted as their horses were terrified by the sight and smell of the corpses. Stuck in a stalemate, the Florens decided to negotiate with the dwarves. In exchange for peace, the Floren King Cyrian ceded the lands from Roann to the northern coast. Rolf was crowned as the duke and was given the name “Lionheart” for his bravery.
