</infobox>The Kingdom of Nidaros was a monarchy in the Drakesland that lived between the years 77 TE and 141 TE. It was born out of the City of Nidaros and its Drakaen Province of Greater Nidaros after the fall of the Drakaen Concordat. Vin Helianthus became its first monarch. After the reunification with Nujharia, that resulted in the Kingdoms of Valreach, Nidaros kept its status with limited autonomy. It would lose its status as Kingdom after the reform into The High Kingdom of Valreach.
After the disolution of Zie Drakaen Köntrybund, and as a reaction to the vassalisation of Valreach under Simulami, Nidaros declared independence and proclaimed the Second Kingdom of Nidaros. It would be dissolved after its defeat on the Siege of Nidaros, in the context of the Valrean Civil War.
== Etymology ==
The Kingdom of Nidaros takes the name from its capital and largest city, Nidaros /nidaɾɔs/. The name it's composed by 'Nid', 'ar' and 'os'. Nid stands for 'Nido', the name of the native tribes that inhabitated the region before the arrival of the Drakaen settlers, 'os' stands as a common sufix for settlements that north-eastern Drakaens founded, and 'ar' is used as an infix or particle that can be translated to the common tongue to 'in' or 'at'. Therefore, Nidaros could be translated to 'The city in Nido' or 'The city at Nido's'.

==History==
===First Kingdom of Nidaros===
After the dissolution of Regnum Drakaes by Autarch Tiffany Canalopin, former president Vin Helianthus proclaimed the Kingdom of Nidaros, with himself as King. This new state contained the northern half of the former Drakaen province of Great Nidaros. It adquired and traded land with the new state of Mugen, that had annexed most of the land south of the Kingdom. Its borders finally stabilised after the annexation of the lands by the Strait of Vircon, after the fall of Saror Haven.
The early history of the Kingdom it is defined by the common clashes with the city of Jorvick, close to the southern border, that was expanding and seeked land that Nidaros owned. Most tensions were finally resolved by the new appointed Hand of the Kingdom of Nidaros, Delta Sien. A friendship with Jorvick would then begin thanks to the good relations between Tiffany Canalopin, still mayor of the city of Nidaros and Kendal Reach, second in command of the city of Jorvick. Both would end up marrying and having children.
====Lapis Rebellions====
Around the times of the formation of the League of Vircon, Nidaros had to deal with two rebellions in the county of the Segrespent. The town of Ekaway, led by mayor kkiss, allied with Mr. Ananas of the Catanian town of Iron to begin a series of rebellions. During these events, the rebels led night attacks to some settlements of the Kingdom and beyond. The crisis ended with the total destruction of Ekaway by King Vin Helianthus. The ruins were turned into the Lapis Fort, second stronghold of the Nidarosean Royal Defense Force outside of the city of Nidaros.
====Nidaros under Valreach====
On the , The Kingdom of Nidaros and The Island of Nujh unified into The Kingdoms of Valreach, in the form of a Diarchy led by Vin Healianthus, King of Nidaros and Vix Aulian, King of Nujharia. The unification was mostly pushed by the Hand of Nidaros who seeked a stronger Realm without grudges and tensions.
The Kingdom of Nidaros would keep its rank of Kingdom and the ceremonial title of Monarch, both rights granted by the Valrean Constitution. This order would ensure peace and growth for the following years.
===Second Kingdom of Nidaros===
After the dissolution of the Drakaen Köntrybund, High King Vix of Valreach negotiated and signed a vassaldom deal with Simulami, making Valreach a vassal once again since the times of the Uraki Imperium. The deal was not announced but several members of the Royalty and Government did not agree nor thought the decision was adequate. They protested to the King, who didn't satisfy their calls for a change.
In the late Fall of 159TE, after having been kicked from the Court and having heard of the vassalisation deal, Duchess Maria Canalopin declared the independence of the Duchy of Greater Nidaros, the County of Miklagard and the southern strip of Edenheim. With all those territories she proclaimed the Second Kingdom of Nidaros with herself as Queen. With her, there was Alfric Aulian, King Vix's brother and adoptive father of Maria, who had been kicked from Court alongside her.
The declaration was supported by the cities of Nidaros, leading the movement, Frostport and Bjørnsvin, both in the Duchy of Greater Nidaros. Nibury, led by Princess Delta, didn't announce its support. However, she was added into the Round Table as Hand of Nidaros.
====Siege of Nidaros and Dissolution====
After a long and tense Valreach Civil War, the Valrean loyalist forces, together with Simulami and all its allies assaulted the city of Nidaros. Overwhelmed, the forces of the city surrendered and Maria Canalopin went into exile. After the defeat, during the Spring of the year 163 TE, she sent a letter to all the leaders of the Drakesland announcing that she was dropping her claims as Queen of Nidaros.
The remains of the Second Kingdom of Nidaros fell during the following years. However, those events are not considered part of the Valrean Civil war still. Björgsvin, north of Nidaros, close to the border with Simulami, surrendered to Valreach without ressistance. The city of Nibury, under Soronaca's efective control after the suicide of Princess Delta, reached an agreement with Valreach that ensured preserving the culture and heritage of Nidaros in the city. The deal however, was not followed by Valreach who removed all remenant of the Kingdom of Nidaros or the ancient Nido tribes. The city of Frostport was the last rebel stronghold that surrendered. The coastal Frostbitten city wasn't fully controlled by the Valrean Realm until the year 179 TE, when they assaulted and razed the city, forcing Prince Ilivdorl out of the Realm.
Many members of the Nidarosi aristocracy, together with the Nidaros Rangers, folowed Queen Maria to exile into Yoake. Later on, they would be incorporated into the Yoakenreiges own army and eventually would follow Maria, yet again to Takavia and Aurica, where they would finally be restructured into the Varasopolis' rangers

== Government==
===Territorial Organisation===
The Kingdom of Nidaros, for most of its history, was divided into Duchies and Counties, commonly named Provinces, and Lordships, also named municipalities. These would change throughout its history, mostly influenced by the Valrean reforms and Government, usually led by Nidaroseans.
====Provinces====
Originally, The Kingdom of Nidaros had six provinces but by its dissolution and full integration into the High Kingdom of Valreach, Nidaros had three provinces remaining. Their boundries and size was mostly decided by the Round Table of Nidaros with the Government of Valreach.
Province 	Flag	Historical Leaders 	Towns 	Description
Duchy of Greater Nidaros 	 	Tiffany CanalopinDelta A. Canalopin 	NidarosBjörgsvin 	Capital and Heart of the Kingdom of Nidaros. Mostly composed by plain, steppes and the mountains crossed by the Segrespent River. It waved the same flag as the Kingdom one. The Duchy became a Grand Duchy after merging with the Principality of the Frsoty Grove. It has always been ruled by the Noble House of Canalopin.
Principality of the Frosty Grove 	 	Delta A. Canalopin 	NiburyFrostport 	The Cultural Capital of the Kingdom. Formed by an extense Taiga and Frozen Shores leading to the bay of the Frostbite. Originally a county, it became a Principality with the formation of the Kingdoms of Valreach and the coronation of Delta Aulian as Winter Princess of the Frostbite. It merged with Greater Nidaros when Delta became Duchess of Greater Nidaros.
County of Edenheim 	 	Vin HelianthusLagertha HelianthusBjörn Moreau	EradiosLion's KeepHelianthus' ManorFrantlaYulhasa	Originally two separate counties (Sagheim & Edenheim), it is the biggest Province of the Kingdom of Nidaros, extending from the Springs of the Segrespent to the Strait of Vircon. It contains deserts, forests and rainforests. Its capital, Eradios, served as capital of the Kingdoms of Valreach for some decades. The family of Helianthus and later, Moreau, ruled over the province for its entire existance.
County of Miklagard and The Segrespent	 	Ralozi Miva 	Fort LapisSummergroveEverton 	The Counties of Miklagard and the Segrespent, later merged into a single county were the least populated ones. Its de facto capital was Fort Lapis, a military complex close to the border with the Catanian city of Jorvick. The province is mostly dominated by plains and forests extending into the Segrespent River Valley and the Nujharian Straits.
====Lordships====
The Lordships, formerly called Municipalities (Cities, Towns, villages and other settlements) that formed the Kingdom of Nidaros and its provinces were:
Lordship 	Sigil	Type 	Historical Mayor 	Description
Nidaros 	 	City 	Tiffany Canalopin 	As capital of the Kingdom and the Duchy of Greater Nidaros, the City held the seat of the government, The Round Table. Inside the large complex of walls, Nidaros runs its streets and squares beneath the mountain, with roads leading all the way up to the Soleviel Church and the Drakesrest, the old Drakaen castle that contains the throne sat by the Duchess.
Nibury 	 	Town 	Delta Aulian & Canalopin 	Nibury is the closest town to the capital. In ancient times, this coastal lordship was the dwelling of the old Nido folk, serving as a commercial settlement for the tribes. It was resettled during the Kingdom of Nidaros as a cultural complex for the Nido Games. Afterwards, the complex grew into a coastal town serving as a harbour for the merchants of the city of Nidaros. The Winter Palace, a residence for Nidarosi nobles was also built east of the town.
Björgsvin 	 	Town 	Draco Fairfax-Aulian 	Björgsvin lies north of the city of Nidaros, on the Reach plains. It is mostly an agricultural town living off its wheat fields. Hunters of Björgsvin use the forests to the west to obtain furs. Its location, on the road leading to Simulami, makes it a common place for merchants and travellers to dwell in.
Frostport 	 	City 	Ilivdorl Aulian Reach 	The city of Frostport was the last settlement that sprouted on the eastern lands of the Kingdom of Nidaros. Without the limitations of the Bay of the Frostbite, Frostport grew around a big harbour that hosted most merchant and military vessels owned by the Duchy. Less than a day away from Nidaros, the city of Frostport lived off the commerce and fisheries present in the Frostbitten Sea.
Eradios 	 	City 	Vin Helianthus & Björn Moreau	The city of Eradios sits on the coast of the League of Vircon. It was settled soon after the independence of Nidaros to project its power to the western lands and increase its presence on the Drakaen Sea. It hosted the capital of the Kingdoms of Valreach and its institutions. The growing manufacturing industry and workshops sustain the economic growth of the city.
Lion's Keep 	N/A 	Fort 	Vin Helianthus 	Lion's Keep sits on the desert of Sagheim, by the springs of the Segrespent. At the heart of the Kingdom, it serves the Nidarosean military as a stronghold to easily access the western counties of the Kingdom as well as defend the southern border.
Lapis Fort 	N/A 	Fort 	Razoli Miva 	Fort Lapis was erected south of the Segrespent, by the ruins of Ekaway, close to the mountains of Kingston, becoming a military complex after the Lapis Rebellions. It also defends the local lapislazuli mines, where the Kingdom extracts its blue pingment. After the Unification of Valreach, it served the Valrean Royal Defence Force as its main stronghold.
Helianthus Manor	N/A 	Private Residence	Vin Helianthus 	The Helianthus Manor was raised by King Vin as a personal summer residence for him and his family. It was located on the Sea of Myrkira, north of Eradios. It suffered an incident in the year 124 TE and burned down. It was resettled by the survivors, months later and King Vin was buried in the manor's gardens.
Summergrove 	N/A 	Religious and
University Complex	Jay Summergrove 	Summergrove grew around its outstanding cathedral. Just south-west of the Reach Fields, across the Segrespent, it became a fast-growing settlement with plenty of scholars and priests choosing it as a residence.
Frantla Edinos 	N/A 	Town 	Sentinel Bard 	
Everton 	N/A 	Village 	Unkown 	
Yulhasa 	N/A 	Village 	Unkown 	
===Royalty===
Monarch 	Portrait	Period 	Notes
Vin Helianthus 	 	77-114 TE 	Vin Helianthus was the founder and longest-ruling monarch of the Kingdom of Nidaros. Together with the Hand of Nidaros, Delta, it oversaw the unification with Nujh that led to the formation of the Kingdoms of Valreach. It was disposed from his titles and exiled to his overseas after his failed Holy Drakaen Empire rebellion.
Tiffany Canalopin 	 	114-115 TE	Even though Tiffany was, for most of its history, the visible face of Nidaros as the founder and mayor of the Capital city, she only served as Queen for a year following the disposal of King Vin. She was the Queen consort of High King Vix Aulian and was seen perfectly fit to occupy the Valrean Diarchy as Queen of Nidaros after the HDE rebellion.
Lagertha Aulian-Moreau	 	115-141 TE	Barely two years after the HDE rebellion, House Helianthus was reestablished as the Royal House of Valreach and the Kingdom of Nidaros. As the former Consort queen of King Vin and due to the involvement of Vin's successors in the rebellion, Lagertha was ratified as Queen by the Valrean Emergency Government, led by Princess Delta. Lagertha reformed the House of Helianthus into the House of Moreau after the death of her husband and firstborn son. She married King Vix Aulian, unifying the royal houses of Valreach. She held the title of Queen of Nidaros until the dissolution of the Kingdom after Vareach unified its Realm into the High Kingdom of Valreach.
Maria Canalopin 	 	159-164 TE	After the dissolution of the Drakaen Köntrybund, and following the coup by High King Vix of Valreach, Maria Canalopin declared the independence of the Kingdom of Nidaros, proclaiming herself as Queen. She assembled a new Round Table and named Alfric Aulian her Hand. She fought against Valreach and Simulami until her defeat in the Siege of Nidaros. Afterwards, she went to exile with Alfric to New Yoake.
==Culture==
The Kingdom of Nidaros and its people were mostly influenced by the culture of the former Regnum Drakaes. If not politically, the Nidarosi people considered themselves cultural heirs of Drakaes. That belief is supported by the shared language and architecture, among other traits.
The Nidarosi, as a cultural identity, also takes from other sources. Before the arrival of the Drakian settlers to the north-eastern lands of the Drakesland, there were tribes and petty kingdoms that ruled around the Lion's Ridge and the valleys of the Segrespent all the way to its springs in Sagheim. These groups descended from the Children of Segres, and were closely-related to most native groups in the eastern Drakesland. The groups that lived in the area were also culturally influenced, and even absorbed, by the Nido Tribes, the rithean cultures that lived across the shores of the Frostbitten Sea and that extended all the way to the river of Haven. These groups, however, did not influence the Nidarosi as much as the Drakian people, the dominant culture within Drakaes.
Not all kind of Drakian people settled in the newly founded city of Nidaros and its nearby lands, but certain individuals from certain cities of the central Drakesland. That fact, added to the great distance between Nidaros and the Drakaen capitals of Varasopolis and Aurica, made the Nidarosi develop its own subculture within the Drakian cultural group.
During the times of the First Kingdom of Nidaros there was a revival of Nido-related culture, from the hand of some of its last descendants who had either lived hidden or returned to the Drakesland after their ancestors had left. Traits like the cult to the body and mind and sports events were taken by Nidaros as part of its core identity.
===Language ===
The little cultural diversity within Nidaros facilitated the use of Drakaeschlange or Drakaen Standard, the language of the Drakian settlers. Over the years, Nidaros developed its own dialect and also included words which came from the local tongues and, most frequently, from the descendants of the Nido. While the first case, the natives, it took place by sheer contact, the inclusion of words of the Nido is seen as an attempt of the rulling class to legitimize their rule over the land, tying it to its alleged first inhabitants.
=== Architecture===
Like other cultural traits, due to its roots, the Nidarosi building style was influenced by the Drakian architecture of Aurica and Varasopolis. It adopted its own characteristics due to the topografic terrain and the materials available. While in the central Drakesland andesite and common grey stone was used for the foundations and walls of most structures, it was common to see darker stone used in Nidaros, a common basaltic material found in Lion's Ridge. Darker and stronger woods are also used for structures among the Nidarosi. These wood is usually harvested in the Frosty Grove or imported from the island of Yoake.
Large structures like the Drakesrest in the city of Nidaros is an example of the sofistication of the late Regnum Drakaes, when Nidaros began forging its own cultural identity. Even though the fall of Drakaes led to a decrease on the investment for infrastructure projects for over a decade, Nidaros kept building colossal structures and many castles, with a tendency towards alongated shapes thanks to structural arches and the lighter yet harder wood of the Frosty Grove. Some examples of the new Nidarosi style are the stadium of Nibury, Lapis Fort, Lion's Keep or the Summergrove Abbey.
Another architectural style more barroque, imported from Aristios through the Helianthus family and also present in the Western Drakesland, made its way into Nidaros. This barroque style was popular among high nobility and royalty. The first city to implement it on several buildings was Eradios, on the western end of the Kingdom. It was also replicated, an adapted by Princess Delta for the Winter Palace of Nibury, her winter and vacation residence.
===Clothing===
Nidarosi clothing did not differ much from Drakian clothing, at first. The presence of many sailors and fishermen, main demographic group that settled when the city was founded on 50 TE, together with the proximity to bodies of water such as the Segrespent River or the Bay of the Frostbite, influenced the clothes used by the common folk and even the rising aristocratic class. Nidarosi people used to wear dark colours, to avoid getting visible saltpeter stains, as well as long boots and coats or capes. From the town of Björgsvin, north of Nidaros, furs became popular against the winter's cold. The aristocratic class also began wearing feathers on the hats, which were common among the Nidarosi. All kind of hats, mostly adapted from the common fishermen and sailor's tricorn, were implemented.
In contrast, the Nidarosi Royal Defence Force adopted the colour white for their formal uniforms. It is believed that the Kingdom of Nidaros wanted to keep the distances with the previous authoritarian regime in the Drakesland and decided to abandon the black and red for the uniforms of the army for a white with red and golden details. The special forces, known as the Rangers, were mostly seen wearing darker colours but still kept the white uniform for parades and formal occasions.

===Currency===
The people of Nidaros used a bunch of different local currencies, since the Kingdom's foundation until its dissolution and beyond, to trade between them and with people from other countries of the Drakesland. That was possible thanks to the use of currency coined during the times of the Drakesland Autarchy and Regnum Drakaes. After the fall of the Concordat, the nations that rose all adopted their own coins with their own values, leaving the former Drakaen currency, also called Voremünzen, for international trade in the Drakesland. It was also common to see foreign currencies from nearby states, such as Yoaken or Amarillian coins or even the Simulamii Mystacs.
Nidaros had also coined its own currency following the fall of Drakaes, but would still recognise the former Drakaen coins for tax collection, public spending and internal trade. The Drakaen currency was based on three coins of different values: The Drage, made of gold, the Sterne, made of silver and with one sixth of the value of the golden drage, and the Zehnte, also made of silver and with the value of one tenth of a silver sterne. The Nidarosi coins were also three: The Krönde, made out of gold, the Löwe, made out of silver and with the value of a sixth of a krönde, and the Blume, made out of copper and with the value of a thirtieth of a löwe.
The names of all the previous coins were probably coloquial names given by the people due to the images engraved on the different coins. From the one with the highest value to the lowest, the images were the following: 
*Drage. A rounded large golden coin. On one side it had engraved the Dragon, sigil of Drakaes, on the other one the portrait of the ruling autarch. It was the biggest, most valuabled coin in the Drakesland for centuries. It was also known as "golden dragon" or "golden autarch".
*Krönde. A rounded golden coin. On one side it had engraved the crown of the Nidarosi monarchy on the other one the portrait of the ruling monarch. Smaller than a drage, it had half its value. It was also known as "Vin", for King Vin's face being the most common among the coins.
*Sterne. A large hexagonal silver coin. On one side it had engraved a six-pointed star, on the other one it had depictions of Drakaen cities, mainly Aurica, Varasopolis, Smegsville, Saafir and Nidaros. It was also known as "silver sixth", "silver sterne" or "silver stadte".
*Löwe. A rounded silver coin. On one side it had engraved the Lion of Nidaros, on the other one a depiction of the city walls. Smaller than a sterne, it had half its value. It was also known as "Silver lion".
*Zehnte. A rounded decagonal small silver coin with a hole. On one side it had engraved the sigil of the Autarchy, on the other one a depiction of a governmental building, most commonly the Varasopolis' Ephorate, the Drakeskeep or even the Library of Aurica. It was also known as "silver tenth", for its shape and value.
* Blume. A copper coin. On one side it had engraved the royal flower of Nidaros, on the other one it had depictions of important aristocrats and benefactors of the Kingdom. It was also known as "royal floral" or "royal".
