Northern Kingdoms

The Northern Kingdoms is the same of a coalition of small kingdoms to the north, loosely banded together with the single goal of keeping both their independence and culture. Originally, over several centuries ago, the kingdoms once formed a neutral and near unhabitated part of L'keill, but it was gifted to humankind for their joint alliance in the Arctic Conflict, then split among the main nomad clans which many humans travelled in due to previous uneven relations with their furred counterparts.
The kingdoms are also home to The Academy; a specialised combat school designed to train those gifted in Aura to fight the darkness. This Academy also serves as a neutral stand-point for the kingdoms themselves and is not uncommon for meetings to be held here either.
To the northern edges is another specialised group created to police the boarders for any form of Arctic activity, and to send them back if they're caught crossing the boarders; one of the conditions after the Bitter Snow conflict agreed upon after the land was secured.
