Archangel

The County of Archangel is a halfling county and colony on the coast of the White Sea bordered by Egreliia to the west and the gnollish kingdom of Bjarmaland to the south and east. Established as a distant outpost of halfling civilisation, the county has developed into a resilient and self-sufficient territory, thriving despite the challenges of its northern climate and the presence of powerful neighbours. Despite its isolation, Archangel maintains steady contact with distant halfling lands, particularly Breen, importing goods that cannot be produced locally and exporting furs, fish and crafted wares.

Relations with neighbouring powers are complex. Elvish tribes in Egreliia provide protective support for the area while acting as a sporadic trading partner, while the gnolls of adjoining Glu'Bak are a constant threat. The rugged environment has shaped a hardy and resourceful population, accustomed to enduring long winters, repelling raids, and navigating the political intrigues of rival factions. Though small in size, Archangel is a vital and determined presence in the region, holding its own against larger and more aggressive forces. The area covers some 25.7 hexes, with a population of 23,853.
