Dorwine



Dorwine or referred to as the 'northern kingdom' is a norse like culture kingdom that consists of strong warriors and are very strong allies with the Empire of Egion.

Description
The Kingdom of Dorwine consists of mainly forestry with some grass plains and also some snowy areas, with the migrating humans now living in this northern kingdom some parts of the dense forests have been cut back with villages and towns forming based around more Norse architecture than their Imperial counterparts, with the forests and mountains Dorwine has birthed some of the toughest warriors of Egion making them heroes throughout the realm.

History
Before the kingdom was founded Dorwine was unpopulated and was mainly used as a hunting ground for dwarves, elves and other races where eventually around the year 950 AE within the first era many nomadic Imperial civilians would migrate into this region forming small tribe like tents and camps where they would hope to live within the wilds of Dorwine. The current Emperor called Aldred would help fund the people within Dorwine to begin construction of their own villages with some becoming small cities which allowed the people to create their own kingdoms however with individual kingdoms within Dorwine there was no true ruler of the region which made trade and travel complicated for the other kingdoms and regions, eventually in the year of 966 AE a chieftain of one of the tribal kingdoms called Ered would attempt to establish Dorwine as a single kingdom deeming himself to be a fit leader for the region.

Whilst many of the other tribal leaders did not accept this Ered would prove himself by beating each tribal chief in single combat claiming the title of High Chief of Dorwine becoming viewed as the strongest warrior of Dorwine and that nobody could challenge him, Ered would amass his army of warriors forming the kingdom of Dorwine being a separate state from the Empire however both Ered and Aldred would broker an alliance with each other with Dorwine coming to the Empire's aid in fighting against Nionande on the eastern borders of the Empire's provinces. With the help of the norse-like warriors the Nion Folk would broker peace with the Empire and would continue to help the Empire unify the realm of Egion

Moving into the second era the kingdom of Dorwine would continue its tradition of only allowing the strongest warrior to rule as the High Chieftain and whilst many people would claim the title many of them would be beat by the first ruler in Ered however he would eventually be beaten by Earnwulf who would go on to become the newest High Chieftain within the second era, many of these changes in power through combat would go on throughout the eras up until the present year within the fourth era.

Within the fourth era the most recent Emperor named Ulric would employ a military tribune within Dorwine to act as an advisor to the High Chieftain whilst the Chieftain did not need one Ulric did this as a way of keeping the ruthless warriors in check and also so that he would be able to know their moves before they knew his so that his plans would go into motion.
