Miklagard (Abexilas)

The Jarldom of Miklagard is a feudal territory within the Argovor of Lynarasos, consisting of four provinces: The capital, Miklagard (city), Thienora, Helór and Verbouleau. The Jarldom is ruled by the Jarl, Peder Bjørnson, who rules from his seat in the city of Miklagard. The other towns are ruled by local barons.
Being a vassal of Lynarasos and Ischanor, the jarldom is placed centrally in the empire, southeast of Kejafros. The region is placed in the former western half of the Kingdom of Lenógath, with the capital of Miklagard being built in the abandoned ruins of Méruch.
== History ==
The Jarldom of Miklagard is where the former Kingdom of Lenógath found its heartland, with the capital city Miklagard, being built from the ruins of the old native city Meruch. The region was handed over by the Argoa of Celras to the Valroran Guards, a militia of Aurorans, Valkyries and people associated with them, as a reward for their protection of the Argoa. 
The Valroran Guard, having been led by the Bjørnson noble family, brought with them their own distinct culture and architecture when they settled the given lands. The settling was initially led by Kasper Bjørnson (also known as Kasper the Founder), who began the footwork of the colonization of the territory.
After the natives were chased away through years of conquest, the city of Meruch was conquered and renamed Fevaleó by the victors. The barony of Thienora was made a vassal of the territory in this process as well. 
Leadership of the territory was later handed to Peder Bjørnson, who proceeded with a policy of sourging all signs of native culture from the region, along with the Count of Thienora, Constantine Bjørnson.
The policy yielded slow progress, with few Valroran Guards being able workers. But after many years, the population of the territory started growing.
It was in these years that Jarl Peder Bjørnson decreed that the territory of Fevaleó would be dubbed the Jarldom of Miklagard, with the capital city of the region being named Miklagard.
As the population of Miklagard grew, the culture started taking on it's own form, becoming its own people of Miklagardians rather than a group of mercenaries, and with it, the people grew fond of the old houses built by the natives and demanded a stop to the de-nativifaction of the Jarldom. 
The Jarl later relented on this partly, allowing many residential buildings built by the natives to stand, allowing the popular to keep their homes rather than moving into new ones.
== Economy ==
The economy of Miklagard revolves entirely around an export of alcohol, with a specific focus on wine.
