Alfhem is a Viking country on the northern continent of Nordgri. The people across this continent share their culture, identity and collectively known as Faegir.

They mostly live on the south coast as the north becomes increasingly difficult to live in and inhospitable, due to the weather and its inhabitants. Its inhabitants are warrior people and respect strength. When not at war among themselves, they raid the mainland and sometimes invade to take land.

Capital - Kastholl (pronnounced Cast-Holl)

Culture

First and formost they are warriors. They value strength and achievements and have a strong code of honour and to break an oath is a great sin. Even if a warrior is aging, they still command the same level of respect due their past achievements.

When the King dies, all potential suitors fight each other until one is victorious, either by killing their enemies or making them swear fealty. They will then be loyal to the King for the remainder of his life. This kind of succession carries over to the holdings where suitors will fight for the title of Jarl. It is very uncommon for one of the Faegir to break an oath.

They are raiders of the south, stealing an pillaging their way across their lands, taking raw materials as well as valuables and women. Their attention does not only face south, but north aswell, where many dangerous animals and beasts attack and it is a constant struggle for them to protect their lands. It is due to many hundreds of years of this constant battle they has developed their warrior culture.

Military Structure

The military is split loosely into two groups known as the Army Of The North and Army Of The South, with the AotN responsible for protecting the lands from invasion from the northern beasts and the AotS raids the south.

The AotN is much better organised and is held in higher regard, whereas the AotS is rarely marching under one banner, rather Jarls will raid as and when they want. The AotS is only mustered in defense of an invasion from the South and occasionally to press for land.
