Arkenfeld

There used to be a borderwall that was there for the first thousand years due to the ice heart. When Kael came to power he had it re-ignited for his reign and updated.
The country emblem is the Ice Phoneix over a mountain.
The town of Icenval is to the west. It is the only place that has any offical interaction with the Temple of the Ice Phoenix.

Structure

The kingdom has an absolute ruler at the top, for the most part. They are heavily influenced by a religous group that dedicates itself to the ice phoenix. The ruler, once in power, arrages minsters and cabinet memembers to form a council and take on the roles of hearing from the people (normally this is done through lower minsters they aprove of, thus highly insulating both themselves and the current ruler from the commoners). The monarch's rule is law and their will is meant to be carried out. As such they cannot 'break' the law.
This might be changing now that Queen Aislinn has come to power. She has ideas about reforms and freedoms that she has learned from other lands and is in the process of undoing things her grandfather did to the country.

Assets

Othtyan cheese. Ice wine.

History

During the Sundering the kingdom was founded by use of the Ice Heart to make a barrier around an area that became the country.

Demography and Population

High Elves
Woof Elves
Dark Elves
Gnomes
There are half-elves but most of them were looked at as second class citizens during the old regiem. Rock Gnomes have been coming out of hiding or returing from near by countries that their parents or grandparents fled to since the change.

Military

There is a standing army that patrols the borders of the country along with a mounted division of frost dragon riders.

Technological Level

While the tech level isn't much higher than what you might find in the dark ages up through the renascence they do have a decent level of magic allowing the rich to have lights, plumbing, and sometimes even automatic carts.

Foreign Relations

Terible with the Lawless Lands who they are still trying to keep protection from, but now with troupes and border checks rather than a force shield wall.
Warey with Toracor and have yet to send a diplomatic mission to.
Cordial with Downtrodden as they are trying to establish an embasy with them and the possible re-homing of rock gnomes who wish to return to their ancestrial lands.

Agriculture & Industry

By tradition Wood Elves do most of the agricultural work, including the making of the distinct cheese and the ice wine. The High Elves on the other hand busy themselves with arts, leasure, and workings of magic.
