Chiefdom of Reingard

'We sail to distance shores, from dying lands, in hopes of finding a home to thrive. -Erik Ironblood'

General Overview
Born from the remains of a lost nation and fueled by the forges of the Forge Father, the Chiefdom of Reingard, has arisen from the ashes with hammer and axe in hand. The Chiefdom of Reingard, COR for short, is a small Norse/Viking-themed nation that is ruled by the clan Ironblood. The nation is lead by three people called the Iron Jarls, Erik B. Ironblood, Magos geðstirðr Ironblood, Charles Happ Ironblood. Originally coming from the lands of Sparwood in Rathnir, the Chiefdom is currently searching for lands that matches their homeland to settle.

Languages
The COR has two Languages, Travelers Tongue and Runic. While Travelers Tongue verbal/written communication is most often used by it's people and Ashen, from time to time, Runic is used for written communication.

The Runic alphabet goes as follows: A-ᚪ B-ᛒ C-ᚳ D-ᛞ E-ᛖ F-ᚠ G-ᚷ H-ᚻ I-ᛁ J-ᛡ K-k L-ᛚ M-ᛗ N-ᚾ O-ᚩ P-ᛈ Q-q R-ᚱ S-ᛋ T-ᛏ U-ᚢ V-v W-ᚹ X-ᛉ Y-ᚣ Z-z

Government
Due to the nations small size, the current government is limited to the 3 Jarls who congregate in the nations Folkmoot.

Religion
The official religion of Reingard is the Church of the Stahl Riesa. A Norse-based polytheistic religion that worships nine main deities. Other religions are allowed, as in Stahl Riesa; it recognizes the existence of other possible deities, not a part of the belief. Exceptions for other religions are made. While the official state religion is Stahl Riesa (Church of the Stahl Riesa), exceptions are made for other beliefs.

Culture
The COR is an Ashen nation, so its culture comprises Ashen (Norse) customs and traditions. (As to not flood the page, if you want to learn more, here is the Ashen Page)

Location and Terrian
The nation has yet to settle land yet as the nation is in search of a large enough Snow Taiga biome.

The Meaning behind the Flag
Everything within the COR flag holds meaning. The colors represent Red - strength, grey - wisdom, and Black - determination. The anvil represents the Ashen, their pride of blacksmithing and religious beliefs. The triskelion, unlike it's IRL meaning, represents the cycle of creation on the anvil: Creation, Utilization, Ruination. The twin flames represent knowledge and power.

Founding
Date: 30th of Snowmelt (3/30/24)

Founded by Erik B. Ironblood, the COR arrived on the shores of Abexilas, after having fled from the lands of Rathnir, and their original home of Reingard. The people of the COR began to travel across the lands, in search of a suitable land to settle.
