The kingdom of Norwold lies to the east of Thay across the endless wastes in the Forgotten Realms. It lies one weeks travel by foot. It started as a D&D Module for my high level campaign Characters that were wanting to build their own keeps.It was a kingdom that was part of a larger empire that was wanting to expand inot the region and was looking for strong leaders to help build the kingdom. The first year after their arivail they had started to build their fiefdoms the kingdom was attacked by another empire. In the ensuing battles the king was killed leaving his new bride in charge. She agreed to let the barons have a greater control of the kingdom in return for their support. The next year saw another rebellion led by some of the more daring of the barons. This proved to much for the kingdom and it broke up into small independent kingdoms run by the former barons that still lived. They formed several alliances to protect themselves from the larger barons. Two Barons had grown very powerful by this time and together they controlled over half of the former kingdom. Azmoth was based in the northern part of the kingdom and Morgoth was based in the southern part.The rest of the barons were grouped into two factions with each faction supporting one of the two. For the last five years, an uneasy truce has held between all of the new kings.
Both Morgoth and Azmoth have sent emisaries over the wastes to the Forgotten Realms. Morgoth was trying to open a trade route but meet with resistance from Thay. Azmoth on the other hand sent raiding parties into Thay to bring back treasure. None of the new kings have actually been to the Realms but the new characters that Have started in this world have made several trips over the wastes to explore the vast lands rumored to be there. They have made it as far as the town of High Horn in the west. One of Azmoth's raiding parties even made a successful raid into Zhentil Keep itself.
The main characters of Norwold are Azmoth, Aragan, Morgoth, Sir Daniel Tenn, Ug Ly, King Yarrvik. To find out more about them check out their stats and histories page.
