Danmark (Vøndanmark)
Government: Kingdom <17th c.>
Pantheon: Norse (S) <Danish>
Leader: Thorstein IX <King Diamond>
CAPITAL: Copenhagen (Pop.: 75k)
Other Cities (and pop.):
Arhus: 25k
Helsinger: 15k
Loc.: Aeropa
Language: Skandian
Pop.: 2,500,000
Flag/Emblem:
Red, drake-headed
sea-serpent undulating
on a white field.
Coinage: Skandian Standard (Gold = Krona, Silver = Mark, Copper = Skilling, Bronze = Dreyling)
Important Persons: Various jarls, officials, clerics, etc.
Alliances: Talmark.
Hostilities: Norge, Saxony, Svergie.
Open Warfare/Skirmishing: None at present.
Intrigues: Exact details are not avail., but there are many plots
afoot in Danmark.
Magickal Devices: It is known that the Danes have two very potent
items amongst their collection of moderate ones. The two are the
Serpentship of Yig, and the Skullaxe.
Alignment: Neutral Good
Thumbnail Sketches: From the mainland border with Saxony, to the
isles of the north, Danmark tends to be a level, monotonous country.
Numerous little lakes exist, however, and some are quite charming,
esp. those in woodland. Only about 1/4 ov the country's
total area of 17K sq. mi. or so is wooded, but in those forests
are found bear, auroch, boar, wolf, && deer, as well as abundant
small game. Trees include fir, oak, pine, beech, ash, && elm.
Copenhagen is quite charming, && it's architecture is distinct. For a
small city, it is a remarkably cosmopolitan one. Helsingør is the seat
of the Skandian Synod ov the Norse Pantheon.
1000 years ago these people provided a considerable potion
ov the Viking hosts who raided, pillaged, && conquered lands
over a 1/4 ov the globe. The Danes had settlements in Albion &&
Hibernia, for example, && were the chief colonizers of Nifflen. The
Danes are between the Norse && Teutons in respect to race as well
as geography. Most are free, && quite courageous in warfare. The
small knightly class is justly cited as exceptional.
Agriculture is the mainstay ov this nation. Oats, barley, rye, &&
wheat are grown. Some beets, potatoes, && other veggies, along
with hardy fruits, complete the picture. Livestock, principally cattle,
but incl. also sheep, swine, && horses, is the major effort ov the
volk, however, && its products are much in demand in neighboring
countries.
Fishing is also very important, && considerable catches are brought in.
Timber is not very important to the economy ov Danmark, && the
country has virtually no mineral wealth save in porcelain clay, from
which it produces both pottery && porcelains ov very fine sort.
