The North

The North – The one region in Areon where the people do not believe in having a sigil, the North is in a constant state of winter and is comprised of some of the proudest people in all the land. However, as it was in the West, the entirety of the North was ruled by its King up until the end of the Sorcerer’s War.

The animosity between the Northern houses has been present for a long time, ever since the fall of Magor. While the North King, Maven Brock, was swinging his axe to destroy Magor, his seat at Whitecrest was stolen by the Nortons, a lower house that had its start at Hailstone Hold, and Rikter’s Hollow was taken by the powerful Gargan warriors. Once Maven had returned to the North, he and his army fought first to take back Whitecrest, but were unsuccessful, as they were pushed back to the Frostford. By that time, after suffering losses in the war, as well as against the Nortons, the Brocks hadn’t bothered to attack the Gargans at Rikter’s Hollow, instead choosing to recover in their new home at the Frostford.

“With the Nortons solidifying their rule over the North, and with the Gargans holding the Brocks’ ancestral home and the Ironforge, an important resource to all of Areon, Maven Brock and his people were left with a bittersweet taste in their mouths after having played an integral role in saving the realm of Areon.
