Guiding Beliefs
The Gods of the Seasons decide one’s fate, but it is unknowable. Thus, in one’s short life, one must spend it protecting one’s friends and family — for you need someone to tell your story when you are gone.

System of Government
The Warlords each have their internal traditions — typically involving hereditary rule, similar to Monarchies. However, when a Warlord dies, they leave behind a Trialhall — a dungeon challenge designed to ready the next ruler. Only through passing it can the next-in-line truly take the title of “King” or “Queen”.

Local History
Four-hundred years ago, Riavh d’Solais united all of the North under his banner. However, after his son’s betrayal and death, the former warlords have reclaimed their titles and land. The line between their territories are evershifting, between their wars and negotiations, but the Saegen put aside their fighting once a year during Godsweek to visit Saegenheim — their capital. There, they receive guidance from the Sages of Saegenheim.
