Aalborg
The County of Aalborg is a human-occupied part of the Kingdom of Denmark and Norway, located in North Jutland at the narrowest part of the Limfjord, with a coast upon the Skagerrak and Kattegat straits, between the Baltic and North Seas. The county unfolds as a patchwork of arable fields, pastures and woodland, with agrarian pursuits balanced by a great forest that provides timber resources essential for shipbuilding.
Castles and fortifications stand sentinel across the county, a testament to the turbulent history of the region. These stone edifices bear the scars of conflicts.
Culture
The forested expanses are the source of a tapestry of myths and legends that are told by the hearths of rustic households. These are tales of enchanted creatures and enigmatic ruins, endowing the landscape with a sense of mystique and wonder. Narratives speak of supernatural entities dwelling within the forest depths, imbuing the natural environment with an ethereal quality.
Aalborg town is a focal point for maritime trade, with a strategic position facilitated by the exchange of goods and knowledge. The town is characterised by cobbled thoroughfares and a bustling harbour, with vessels from far-flung regions.
The County covers an area of 8.9 hexes, with a population of 98,774.
