Aezenfjord

The Maritime Kingdom of Aezenfjord is a nation in the southeast of Rathnir on the continent of Sparwood. The nation rests on the remains of the Valdreach Imperial Republic, a piece of resistance to the old regime which endures forever. The capital of the Maritime Kingdom is the city of Aezenfjord from which the nation gets its name, and which was once the capital of the VIR.

Aezenfjord
The city of Aezenfjord is the capital and largest city within the nation. During the height of Valdreach it was one of the most populated cities in Rathnir, however by the time Aezenfjord declared independence very few citizens remained under the Lord of Aezenfjord SirMisterPanda. While some of the old city is abandoned, showing signs of decay and overgrowth, there are areas that are growing as the capital expands outwards. Aezenfjord is divided into a number of different districts, primarily the Old City, the Upper City, Callenjarl, the Port District, and East Aezenfjord. The Old City and Upper City date back to the Valdreach era, when many of the houses and shops were occupied. Tall slope-roofed wooden buildings dominate the Old City, while larger terracotta buildings make up the Upper City. A grand bridge crosses the fjord from the Old City to Callenjarl.

Callenjarl is the incomplete ‘undercity’ running beneath the city proper. It houses the famed storage facilities of the nation and a few small buildings dug into the expansive cliffs within the cavern.

The Port District is a developing region which hosts Aezenfjord city’s merchant port, aerodrome, and navy facilities. While the Sovereign Aezenfjord Navy was headquartered there for a while, the admiralty has relocated to Fort Svalden at Kurt’s Landing.

East Aezenfjord is another newer district which contains much of the new city’s housing and agriculture. Public stables and a marketplace are also located in this area.

Concord
Concord is a port on the very tip of Cymru which is a major merchant shipping destination within the nation due to the high quality lumber felled there. Since the days of the VIR Concord was operated as a logging outpost, but the Merchant Marine expanded the port to increase the shipping capacity of lumber to the shipyards in Aezenfjord’s Port District. Falkheim is a reclaimed Valdreach town where most of Concord’s residents live.

Kurt's Landing
Kurt’s Landing is Aezenfjord’s naval base on the Svalden Sea. Fort Svalden is located there, from which most of the navy’s operations are led. Expansions to the port including ore shipping facilities along the north coast of the nation are planned and pending approval from the admiralty.
