 '''The [[County of Nordland]]''' is a mountainous region in the northwest, indented with many fjords, valleys and narrow lowland areas along the sea.  The [[County|county]] includes the Lofoten Islands.  Fishing is the more important activity and the sole economy of many small hamlets.  South of the Saltfjorden, the region is called Helgeland; coniferous forests mixed with open meadows predominate here; north of the Saltfjorden, tundra and alpine ranges dominate.  Narvik, in the north, is a [[Market|market]] [[Town|town]] with a population above 4,000; it is an important link with the Vastenjaur and the interior.  The county is 35.9 hexes in area, with a population of 32,049.
-'''The [[County of Nor-Trondelag]]''' is a farmland province that follows the upper Trondheimsfjord.  The battle of Stiklestad was fought here in 1030, when Olaf Haraldsson failed to overcome the combined gnomish army of Vastanjaur, consolidating the Kingdom of Norway.  Thereafter, a pact was made with those gnomes who dwelt west of the mountains (Nanbrun); no such pact exists with the gnomes who dwelt in the east (Fieldlan & Knollslan).  Nor-Trondelag is a mixture of rolling grainlands and mixed forest.  Levanger and Stjordalshalen are mere villages.  The area is 8.4 hexes and the population 11,963.

 '''The [[County of Sor-Trondelag]]''' consists primarily of well-civilised land around the [[City|city]] of Trondheim; lands in the east are forested and wild.  Trondheim is an important market that trades directly with Scotland; most ships travelling to the far north make a stop there.  The city was founded in 862, three years before serving as a coronation place for King Harald Fairhair of the Norse in 865.  Iron ore is mined at the village of Roros; shipbuilding and tools are important manufactures in Trondheim.  The region has an area of 15 hexes and a population of 32,700.

 '''The [[County of Angermanland]]''' is the most northern province of the [[Kingdom of Sweden]], originally settled by gnomes and later acquired by Swedish purchase in 1437, after 60 years of sporadic warfare between the gnomes and human settlers.  Human settlement increased in the century thereafter.  Generally too barren for cultivation, some arable farming takes place along the rivers, which are also rich spawning grounds for salmon.  The county is 75.7 hexes in area, with 23,284 inhabitants, about 15% of which are gnomish.  Njurunda (not shown) is the oldest settlement, founded in 450 <small>A.D.</small> by gnomes.
