Sleetguard

Overview
The people of Sleetguard are as tough as their Ozryn counterparts. They live a bleak existence. Most of the lands are either uninhabitable mountains, swamps or deep forest. Nonetheless, the Sleetguard family over 300 years ago settled these lands after they were chased out of the Sanguine Lands. Goldview is the capital with Evershire, Bleakmore and Cleardale other towns of note. Silverlight and Blackmouth are two towns which have joined to break away from the Sleetguard dynasty and form their own fabled ‘thirteenth kingdom’. Within the Sleetguard mountains lie huge veins of rich metals and jewels. This has made the lands rich for a time and as such, their forts are impressive and has given Goldview its name. Recently however, despite new mines opening all the time, more and more money is being siphoned to deal with the ‘Emberscar problem.’

The Rebellion
Silverlight and Blackmouth are located to the south of the Sleetguard kingdom. They trade primarily with fringe elements of the Sleetguard Kingdom and have good trade agreements with Drallac to the south, much to the Sleetguard family's distain. INSET MORE DETAIL

The Emberscar Problem
For the last three years, The Hailstorm Surge from Sleetguard have been fighting back the undead forces that have sprung out of the forest. Many of their best commanders have fallen trying to hold back the scourge. There is a massive number and a huge array of undead that seem to appear from nowhere and populate the area and no matter how many are destroyed, more take their place. Constant pressure from Goldview on the richer kingdoms have had little impact on convincing them to aid Sleetguard. More recently, undead were found onboard a ship from Goldview to Obsidia. There is now serious conversations between the two kingdoms now on how to contain the blight. Obsidia have sent three of their tournament winners along with a batallion of the Obsidianis. They are working with The Hailstorm Surge to repel the undead from the last military bastion on the peninsula, Spiritmond Redoubt.

Goldview
Goldview is a large trade city which deals with Scorch Helm, Beachbarrow Port, Obsidia and other noteable trading ports along the western Erithian coast. It’s main purpose recently is to ship supplies, men and weapons to Cleargarde and Spiritmond Redoubt to hold back the undead.
