Aeria

 Aeria is a province to the north of Vulsa'in, a snow filled land with loving and colorful people. They are often tall, pale skin, blue/green/brown eyed, with blonde/black/brown/ or even red hair. Their culture is filled with song & dance, and they often get in trouble with the empire over breaking the Alcohol Prohibition Laws.

Early Aeria began with five kingdoms, each formed within a fairly small number of years. Between year 2, and 36 the kingdoms of Antias, Maris, Ildor, Meisterstadt, and Stonehaven were founded. Each of a somewhat different nature of the others. Ildor, Maris, & Stonehaven were on two islands, while Antias & Meisterstadt were on the mainland.

Ildor was the first kingdom to rise, in the second year following the first world war. Founded by King Hjoldir the Yeti, on the Northern Peninsula of Ita Oen. In order for the Aerians to reach Ita Oen they had to travel in small canoes, over 200 years before King Tamas Vulsaeus invented the first large boats since the first world war, and formed the royal navy. The kingdom of Ildor was defeated by Antias in year 211.

The second kingdom rose during year 7, Meisterstadt was founded on the mainland to the North East in the Heiley Basin. Meisterstadt quickly became one of the largest nations in the world, however it was destroyed during the 297th year. Most of the kingdom was in complete ruin, the only exception being Jager, a small settlement west of the Brohn Mountains.

The next kingdom to be founded was the Kingdom of Antias, founded during year 17. Antias unified Aeria under their kingdoms banner in the 297th year, after they destroyed Meisterstadt, the last kingdom in the north to oppose  their rule. The kingdom of Antias fell to the Vulsa'in in year 352.

The fourth kingdom to rise was Stonehaven, founded on the 23rd year on the island of Lans Oen, the western sister island of Ita Oen. Stonehaven was formed as the smallest settlement in Aeria, and remained that way up to the founding of Jager during the 134th year. It peacefully joined the kingdom of Ildor through marriage during the 78th year.

The final kingdom to be founded was the kingdom of Maris, during the 36th year. Maris was a sizeable kingdom, and were also the first humans in silvaria to speak the common tongue, which is the modern language of the Vulsa'in Empire. It's culture vastly differed from that of the more Norse Aerians, and drew a balance between the influence of the north and south. The kingdom of Maris was eventually conquered by Ildor, in the year 189.

Modern Aeria

Aeria under the Vulsa'in empire is vastly different then it once was, now it is controlled by the influence of the south. Many Aerians hate the Vulsa because of their extremely hostile invasion of the land, however must obey the Teyrn. The land is run by the Teyrn & Teyrna, who control their court of Counts & Countesses, who each control a county. Counties are made up of a capital, and multiple Dutchies, which are much smaller settlements owned by a Duke/Duchess.
