The Northern Region

The Northern Region (TNR) Founded: 1692 | Motto: “Steel in Unity, Flame in Spirit”

The Northern Region Alliance was a formidable coalition of five sovereign provinces—Thalmar, Edrin’s Reach, Vostmere, Haldenfjord, and the Free City of Korrin—that banded together during the early years of the War of the Seven Blades. Originally formed as a defensive pact against southern incursions, the NRA evolved into a powerful military and economic bloc that rivaled the Radibian Crown itself.

Key Features:

Council of Five: A rotating leadership council where each province held a seasonal chair. Decisions required a unanimous vote, symbolizing their commitment to unity.

The Frostguard: An elite battalion of warriors trained in mountain warfare and frost magic, known for their silver-plated armor and silent marches across the tundra.

Trade and Coin: The alliance minted its own currency—the “Northern Crown”—and controlled the lucrative trade routes through the Icewind Pass and the Sapphire Coast.

Legacy: Though the alliance dissolved in 1741 after the Treaty of Eldenmoor, its influence lingers. Many of Radibia’s northern customs, dialects, and military traditions trace their roots to the TNR. Veterans of the Frostguard were granted honorary titles and land by King Alaric IV as part of the post-war reconciliation.
