Solvrike

Solvrike
Solvrike, the land of snakes and liars. Well, that’s what the other Amrothians say about their western brothers. For it was during the early years of the Age of Uncertainty that the nation would arise but by the end they were truly a power to fear. Even during the Years of Treachery, the nation of Solvrike would always weasel its way into power.

The people of Solvrike like all Amrothians place honor upon their blood oaths and swearing of steel. Yet, unlike their kin the people of Solvrike will gladly abuse ancient rites of combat. Challenging their neighboring jarls and chiefs to battles they cannot win, strong arming their foes into fights that end in slaughter. For this the people of Solvrike have been deemed untrustworthy.

Still, their gold and silver are unmatched. Seemingly pure without any taint or defilement. For this other Amrothians are willing to turn a blind eye to their nature. The western mountains of Solvrike are laced with deep veins of gold, silver, and gems. Some even say they have mined aegis here and are learning to smith it from several traitorous Caesians, however these are only rumors.

As for the modern era of Solvrike, the nation under King Ulfhid Askelson has continued to prosper. With several new cities being built in the far northern regions, an attempt by the King to increase the size of the relatively minor mines in the northern lands of Solvrike.
