Kingdom

Oligarchy led by a King

Ruled by Gundram Baleband 

Symbol: Red Black with dragon 

Uthgard is the kingdom of the North East lands of Atheles.

It is currently ruled by a young king, Gundram Baleband,  who has aligned himself with the Unelesia Church, through the Ministry,  and the Orovari. The cold winters have left his people starving, and he looks to expand his powers to the South to gain farmlands and taxes.

Uthgard is a rich nation. The mountains of the north are rich in iron ore. The people of Uthgard did not suffer from the plagues as much as those in the south, so the nation 8s also rich in population. The rulers have used this populace well, creating goods that are traded via sea to Zhou or to the neighboring Tiren. 

Currency

Draks (one ounce) are used as a measure for gold, silver, and copper.
