Astracia

The Principality of Astracia is a nation in Southwest Sephailend. It holds its frontiers with Mulmouth to the North, and Freyr and Kyros on the East. It was once part of the ancient Kingdom of Freyr, but gained their independence over a six hundred years ago, although at a great cost for both side. At present time, there are still often conflicts reigniting at the border every now and then, because Freyr tries to recover their former territory back, or because they dispute certain cities between them.

## Biomes

Lush forests are present in most of the region, along with verdant pastures and rich and fertile soil due to many rivers flowing from its territory. There are marshlands on the southeast part of the country nearby the border with Kyros, where weather is much more humid. It rains constantly on most of the territory, especially on the spring and autumn months, and there are heavy snowfalls on the mountain ridges on the north.

It's said that on some regions of the country, such as Fen Filvor village on the south, there are breaches where the Fey Lands bleeds into this plane of existence. Heavy mists surrounds the area circling the rivers, and sun barely reaches there, making outlandish landscapes.

### Gothenstrand

One of the most important cities since ancient times and also a well-mantained commercial hub, Gothenstrand Port was a huge loss for Freyr when Astracia got its independence and it's also one of the places they pride on the most. It still holds temples to some deities from ancient Freyr that has a decent number of followers, along with the usual worshipping to the Prism Pantheon.

### Kapfenheim

Once an important bastion of the Kingdom of Freyr, it's now under Astracian rule, with no little suffering to hold domain for it. Today it holds the Intelligence Division of the Astracian Army.

### Kirschbrunn

A town up north, nearby the mountain border with Mulsmouth. It's famous for their cherry liquor, and most of the livelihood there is dedicated to it, as well as to their spring water.

### Regenburg

The capital city of Astracia has reached importance since the prince made their permanent residence there one hundred and fifty years ago, but it is nowhere as big nor bustling as Gothenstrand is. Regardless, it tries to hold pace with other important cities of the continent. It's also heavily militarized.
