Midgaard

The isolationist kingdom of magic is one of the most advanced nations in the whole world in terms of Magitech. Dubbed "Little Archeron", they live behind powerful, magic mountains of their islands, continuing secret studies in peace. Only due to Airship travel, and the occasional sea ship, they communicate with the outside world. Even for the long-living elves, the lands of Midgaard seem like taken from the lost past of the Archadian Empire. The nation guards their secrets well and slowly opens up to the world.

Structure

The kingdom is ruled by a council of powerful mages, that set the rules and decide the future of their kingdom.

Culture

The nation's population is isolationists and many do not seek traveling outside their borders. Those that can enter their lands, these outsiders are seen with distrust as potential thieves of their Magitech.

History

When the Demon King saved the Riverlands, he raised from the ocean's floor the island of Alvanista. There he moved many powerful wizards and bright minds and founded the city of Is'shantoor (in time it would become Venezia), where many magical experiments were conducted. The island worked with many descendants of the Archadian Empire, trying to regain lost Magitech. After the Demon King's death, many thought the island's population to be lost but the magic held and the people there survived. Instead of despairing, they continued their work and used Magitech to survive the gruesome Post-Calamity Era of the Fifth Age, Current Age. A new nation was born, Midgaard, a kingdom of magic. Their advancements in magitech didn't stop and they were able to regain much of the lost technology but knowing what happened in Archeron, they decided to isolate themselves. Trade of their technology was forbidden and they barely kept up any communications with the outside world. Being far from conflicts, allowed them to continue their studies into the arcane. The country opened more after The Second Divergence, when the first Airships arrived from the city of Quadropolis. Seeing many similarities, they took the opportunity and slowly began selling their magitech. Mainly those that would help the commonfolk.
