Giant Kingdom of Imarus
The Frost Giant Kingdom of Imarus is a large kingdom in the far frozen north, located near the mouth of the Silverwine River. It is far enough north that only a handful of days each year ever warm to above freezing, and in the depth of winter the sun stays set for weeks. It is a realm of Giants, ruled by Giants and populated by Giants. The two species of Giants that live and work here are the Frost Giants, who hold a high status in the realm's society, and Storm Giants, who are less numerous and less influential in the Kingdom's operation.
Structure
Ruled by a King, known in the Giant's tongue as a Grondi, who governs with the advice of a council of Mages and Masters.
Culture
A very isolated and insular society that does not care much about the happenings in other parts of the world. The Giants of Imarus are open to trade and exchange with the rest of the world, but will not intervene or assist in the politics or hostilities so common in warmer climates.
Demography and Population
Most of Imarus is made up of Frost Giants, but 25% of the current population is made up of Storm Giants. Looking distinctly different from each other, they are not seperated by status or caste as much as they are in cultural norms and habits. Living amongst the Storm Giants is a small population of Prosk'aNara Elves that the giants have built a small walled town for. These Vagari number just over 250 individuals, and live peaceful and productive lives alongside their Gigantae neighbors.
Territories
Imarus controls a stretch of coast on the north shore of the Silver Bay that runs 60 miles from the west to the east, and extends inland another 80 miles to the heights of the Silver Range Mountains.
Foreign Relations
Imarus has functioning relations with the Elven Realm of Naru through the Prosk'aNara community that resides within the Kingdom, and with several of the Clans of Colo, as well as daily interactions with the other Realms of Giants in the north.
Agriculture & Industry
The climate of the Kingdom precludes most forms of traditional agriculture, so the primary industries of the Kingdom center around the maritime harvest of fish, marine mammals, Kraken, Leviathan and seaweed. Mastodon, mammoth, muskox and stag-moose also provide a necessary source of animal protien. The hunting and harvesting of White Dragon is also a traditional means of aquiring meat and resources for the Kingdom.
Trade & Transport
The Kingdom of Imarus is renowned for its very large and very stable ships. These craft can carry a crew of up to 10 giants as they venture out into the Eastern Sea to hunt Kraken and Leviathans in very dangerous weather conditions. Imarus boasts a clear, deep harbor that provides perfect access and protection from the sea.
