Helkvia

Helkvia is the northernmost kingdom of Telbirian. The State's capital is Ravonus. It is known for its political tensions, magic, and harsh climate.

History
Due to the north's harsh climate, the migrants in the north all assembled into one city. Together they built the small city and castle. Many became miners as the rocks are rich with minerals, and mirror. The north valued its magical saviours and often they were revered as gods. They also valued their independence, and became the last of the states to join the Union.

Politics
The north's original monarch (The Malyian Family) was elected by the people of the north. After the attempted assassination of the Malyians King Dancial II put The Delvenons in charge of the north. Their monarchy continued until Grimhelda Malyian married Hans Delvenon, and upon his death claimed the throne as queen.

The north is feared by the other states, and often spoken as being an evil place. The North speaks poorly of the south, but often wish to migrate due to the harsh conditions. Laws are in place that ensure population remain in the north.

Religion and Magic
Religion is not present in Helkvia. It is also the only kingdom that still views heretics with positivity. They welcome the culture and often worship heretics.
