History: Noorlund is a confederacy of tribes more than a kingdom, but the young king Erik Jordahl united the warring northern tribes in a devastating conquest of the region begun by his father before him. While there is some flavour and distinction when it comes to each tribe, the ruling Jordahl Jarls carry with them a deep tradition of militarism. Many youths wield a sword far before they can write their own name. That is not to say the northmen are ill-educated. On the contrary, theirs is a vibrant and sophisticated culture. Their position in the world means their crop yields are extremely poor, however they have access to great swathes of land appropriate for ore mining. This influx of metals means not only an importance in world trade, but also self sufficiency when it comes to suiting up their newest warriors. The lack of agriculture however lends itself to a naturally aggressive, raiding society. Neighbours of Noorland beware, small bands of raiders love to cross into unknown territory and take everything in sight before heading home - all under cover of darkness.

Sorry I wasn't able to get my flag and claim to display in the message... I'm rather new to this forum. I love nation RP though and would love to take part in this. I also took one extra flaw and one extra trait... if that's okay? :)
