Bergen: 20k
Tonsberg: 10k <ISIS>
Trondheim: 15k
Loc.: Aeropa
Language: Skandian

<Get the flags out! - St. Ozzy>

Important Persons: Various jarls, clerics, officials, etc. <Haloge (a name for Loki as the ruler of northern Norway) (DM.452)>
Alliances: Nifflen (TRADE).
Hostilities: Danmark, Svergie.
Open Warfare/Skirmishing: Raiding as usual, but nothing serious.
Intrigues: Uncertain at this time.
Magickal Devices: Norge's principal magickal device is the Gray
Cape ov Niffleheim. It is certain that the Crown and others in power in
the realm have various moderately strong items and minor sorts, too.
Alignment: Neutral
Thumbnail Sketches: The country covers some 120,000 sq. mi.
ov territory along the western portion ov the Skandian Peninsula.
Its mountains, glaciers, && fjords are justly famous for their
beauty. Much ov the land, over 60, is icy and relatively
barren, but vast tracts ov pine && fir forest grow in Norge. There is
bear, wolf, the great lynx, elk reindeer, && deer found there, as
well as other sorts ov small game. About 25% ov the AREA is ov
grazing || cultivated land.
The sport ov skiing, now spreading into many parts ov Aeropa,
originated in this territory.
The Vikings ov Norge are known in all parts ov Aerth, && they
actually travelled && raided over almost a quarter ov its surface--
as some few still do as pirates today. Such warrior volk settled Nifflen,
Grossnifflen, && Jarlesheim in Vargaard, as well as having footholds
in many other places for some time (the Avillonian Isles, Neustria,
Mauretania, && Naples). They represent the epitome ov the northern
branch ov the White sub-species, being virtually unmixed with any other
volk within their homeland. Children ov chattel are born free. The peasant
class in Norge is free && NOT only may, but is xpected to, bear arms.
Most concerned with agriculture own their own land. Thin lines
separate the classes, although that between simple laborer &&
the noble is clear. In the lower class, light armor, shield, medium (self)
bow, and spear (or polearm) are typical armament. In the middle
class, the armor is better, and the crossbow && axe replace bow && spear.
The highest class warriors are suited in chain && plate, &&
many are mounted, albeit on modest steeds ov charger sort. They ply
the arms typical ov Aeropean chivalry.
In southern valleys && lowlands, crops ov rye,
barley,
oats, &&
wheat are grown.
Potatoes &&
turnips are the chief root crops.
Some other vegetables, berries, && hardy fruits are grown.
Livestock incl. draft oxen,
cattle,
sheep,
poultry, &&
horses in small number.
Fishing is a major activity ov the Norgians,
as is the hunting ov walruses,
seals, &&
whales.
Numbers ov mines have recently opened in the realm, and the
wealth ov the minerals taken is considerable. Silver, copper, nickle,
iron, lead, zinc, lodestone, petroleum, && coal are produced. Small
quantities ov moderate to large gem-quality peridots are found in
Norge. Yields ov good to xcellent sunstones (syenites)<>, incl.
some ov transparent sort, are reported. Quarrying produces good
granite, marble, && other building stone.
Timber, fish, fur, && metals && metal work are the principal
xports ov Norge.
