## Frozenpeek County

**County of Frozenpeek** *(short. Frozenpeek)*, was a independent realm ruled by House Meklar. It is named after the capital city, Frozenpeek. After the death of the founder Serih Meklar, his son, Eleardil Meklar succeded his father and united the northern territories creating the United Northern Realm.

Frozenpeek was founded by Serih, the founder of House Meklar shortly after his people were driven from the South. Frozenpeek City was the first settlement established by the Serih's people. In 122 BTA Serih converted to the Northern culture, becoming the Northmen with the rest of his people.

There were only 2 counts in the history, Serih, the founder and Eleardil who later became the King.

## History

### Early History

Originally, Serih's people weren't Northmen, they came from the South. They lived in the Apery Region, near the river Apery. They were pushed back from their homeland by the House Merpin, seeing them as not worthy enough to live in the fertile lands of the Apery Region.

Guided by Serih, they stumbled upon a mountain peak which was frozen, seeing the potential in this area, they founded the city of Frozenpeek and settled in the region. The native population weren't pleased by their arrival, seeing them as invaders who wants to enslave them.

### Arrival to the Region

Serih's people arrived to the region in early 122 BTA, founding the city of Frozenpeek and meeting with the native population. The region at that time was divided between tribes who were technologically inferior to the new Serih's people.

However, the new people did not wish to conquer the native population, they came in peace and only wanted to rebuilt their lost home. Communication between the new people and the native population wasn't hard, native speaking the Northern Tongue and the new arrivals were speaking the Hroún Dialect, similiar to the Northern Tongue.

With the communication established between eachother, some tribes accepted the new arrivals but some prepared for a war. One event changed the course of the history in this region, wedding between Serih and a native woman.

### Wedding & Unification

One native tribe that supported the new arrivals wanted to make their relations better by offering the hand of the princess of the tribe, Maria, to the leader Serih. Serih saw this as a great opportunity to convince other tribes that they are not the enemies. Marriage took place 1 month after the arrival, the place of the wedding was the newly established capital Frozenpeek.

This marriage changed a lot in the progress of the Serih's people, House Meklar was founded by Serih and also, the tribe that offered the marriage became the House Kuntlar with Rixkirr becoming the head of the House. Most of the Serih's people adopted the Northmen culture and Northern Tongue language. Territories of both houses merged into a single entity, **County of Frozenpeek** and House Kuntlar became the Vassal.

### Beggining of the First Northern Unification War

5 days after the wedding, army of one of the hostile tribes appeared near the city of Frozenpeek. This tribe was none other than Komosh tribe, who displeased the arrival of the House Meklar. The Assault on Frozenpeek began and ended 2 days after the start. Komosh tribe was defeated and House Meklar counter-attacked and conquered the territory of the tribe.
