Hibernia

Hibernia was an island in the Western Ocean very close to the island where Araluen, Picta and Celtica are located. It is ruled by seven independent kingdoms.

Geography[]

Hibernia was located west of Araluen, Picta, and Celtica. It's surrounded by water; the Strait of Hibernia in the east, and the Western Ocean in the south, west, and north. 

It had a colder climate than Araluen, due to the cold winds from the oceans that it blocks. As a result, there was a smaller variety of vegetation than in other countries. However, there were small forests in Hibernia.

Hibernia had no real mountain ranges, but it did have high cliffs and large hills. There were also large swamps and lakes in the lower regions of the island. 

There weren't many large rivers in Hibernia, but many small streams. All these streams made trade and transport through the country difficult. 

Governance[]

Hibernia wasn't a united kingdom, but was divided between several small kingdoms:

These kingdoms distrusted each other, and although there was rarely open war between them, they all did their best to sabotage each other. King Duncan and presumably previous Araluen monarchs were known to have facilitated peace-talks[1] between the Hibernian kings. They all had small armies, but these existed out of militias and levies which were rallied in case of war or Skandian raids.

Culture[]

The Hibernian culture was clearly based on the medieval Irish culture, but with clear bits of English culture in it. The Hibernians spoke the Common Language, but with a heavy accent. The most consumed alcoholic Hibernian drink was Ouisgeah, a variant of whiskey.

Trivia[]

  • Each kingdom seems to be based upon individual counties in Ireland, rather than regions, as both County Londonderry and the Mournes (upon which Derry and Mourne, respectively, are based upon) are located in Northern Ireland. Additionally, County Tipperary, which contains the real-world county town of Clonmel, is a centrally located county rather than coastal-based.
  • Halt O'Carrick originally came from Hibernia. 
  • King Ferris came from Hibernia
