Kingdom of Kenoria

To the North lies the Kingdom of Kenoria: a bustling new world which prides itself on its innovations and forward-thinking policy. While its ruling family is human, Kenoria is a very diverse kingdom. You are likely to find many who have come far and wide to live in its urban centers. In a Kenorian city, there is never a shortage of noise or bustling people coming to and from their jobs. Between these cities mostly lies farmland and villages dotting the countryside.

## History

The history of modern Kenoria begins with the first year. Prior to this period, Kenoria was far smaller and vying for more territory.

## Environment

Southern Kenoria is sunny with a temperate climate, but even so, it still gets rather cold and can be prone to rain. The further north one goes, the rainier, colder, and windier it gets. The northernmost areas of Kenoria, particularly on the coast, can be seen as harsh.

Gently rolling hills give way to mountains in the north and the Scar in the south. For the most part, lands of Kenoria are either farmland or are untamed forest.

## Culture

The Kenorian government has allotted much spending for technological and scientific pursuits. This is a society in a Renaissance period, of sorts. It's not uncommon to find artisans or inventors doing all they can to create and show their wares to the world. Because of this, there is an emphasis on creators making things by their own talents and not by magic -- which has meant that there have been some sanctions on the usage of magic items. Magic as a whole is accepted, so long as it’s not used to further one’s own technological advances.

Magic items are not necessarily outlawed, but it is generally illegal to sell them as a regular vendor without a special license (that happens to be very hard to procure). Because of this, prices on magic items and potions can be inflated.

## Regions

### The Northern Sector

The northern chunk of Kenoria is referred to within the government as “the Northern Sector.” There is not as much governmental aid sent up this way; as a result it’s fallen into a bit of anarchy. Auramoor is the unofficial capital of the Northern Sector as the only large city in the area. The rest of the Northern Sector tends to be rural, with traditional villages spread across the region.

### King's Shire

A region of land owned by the King that is farmed by locals, who have created small village communities where they live and work. Most of their crop is sent to Goldencliff.

### The Vein

A region in which magical activity seems to be higher than in most spots of Kenoria. It is located towards the center-east of the country. This and Shiftwolf Forest are the most heavily forested areas of the region.

### Shiftwolf Forest

A thick forest that stretches over a section of the northeastern part of Kenoria. It is known and named for its inhabitants, the infamous shiftwolves. Kenorians who live around the area are taught to avoid it and have rituals to assuage fear over the folklore of the shiftwolves.

### Ait Eile

Along the northern cliffs lies the region of Áit Eile. This area is shrouded in mystery, known for its magical connections. Creatures such as fairies, dryads, satyrs, and more reside there.
