Baerfolka Empire

The Baerfolka Empire is the largest faction in Jehvnar, consisting of three major settlements: Kasukipa, Oytahkipa and Krinya, and many smaller settlements.

The Baerfolka Empire has a long history, a unique language, a developed culture and a strong military tradition.

The capital of the Baerfolka Empire is the city of Oytahkipa, with the two castles Kalikip and Waytrok. It was founded in the first decade of Jehvnar by King Falx of the DaBlotrulyah dynasty. Since then it has been regularly built on, and has adopted its iconic shape of the two castles and surrounding buildings, with farms inbetween.

The Baerfolkan language is called Faitaspik, and is theorized to be a far relative of commonspeak. Many words are similar, however the majority of the words are not mutually intelligible; take for an example the name of the empire itself, Baerfolka Alrulyah.

The Baerfolka Empire is currently ruled by Grand Imperator Lucian Falx DaBlotrulyah, son of Woarus II DaBlotrulyah, and holds the magic Crown of Miro.

The Baerfolka Empire is divided into four provinces:

Baerklan Kraya, which is the capital province, with Oytahkipa as the regional capital.

Melamar Kraya, named after the Melamar valley but without holding much territory of the Melamar Valley. The regional capital of Melamar Kraya is Falxkipa, on the eastern shore of the continent of Jehvnar, just south of Oytahkipa.

Guardanya Kraya, named after the elven settlement of Guardanya located in the middle of the sacred elven Melamar Valley. This province holds most of Melamar Valley.

Estahbaer Kraya, far to the west. Estahbaer Kraya holds the secondmost important city in the Baerfolka Empire, Kasukipa. Kasukipa was conquered after the Great War (yr. 180-182). It was the previous territory and the capital of the Kingdom of Ferömil, led by king Seon who died in the final battle in Kasukipa, then named Blackridge. After the war many inhabitants of the former Valerian settlements of Celen and Ravenholm aswell as the Feromilian settlements of Blackridge and Bordelaux, left to join the faction of Círven, a mixed refugee faction of the old west. The Baerfolka empire are huge contributors to Jehvnars litterature, having written many works in both Faitaspik and Commonspeak.

King Lucian Falx has now cemented the empires power, fully integrated Kasukipa, repopulated it, and begun construction of a grand, new city on the Great River called Krinya.

The future looks bright for the Baerfolka Empire and its citizens.
