Anglia

The Glorious Realm of Anglia

Lay of the Land

The Kingdom of Anglia is a rich and fertile land, with rolling hills, green meadows and golden fields of wheat.  The dutiful and honest folk of Anglia are known for their hardwork in the fields and close ties with the land around them.  A bountious region, Anglia's farmers export their crops and animals across all of Albion.  Whilst a relatively peaceful realm, the people are quick to unite in the face of adversity and in times of war many thousands join the fyrds and militia as men-at-arms in service to their feudal lords.

Lindsey is the central and most important fiefdom within Anglia, stretching from the capital in Lincoln across the wide farmlands of the Stour Valley.  Yeoman farms and small estates dot the countryside, and the fields are filled with peasants and freemen as they tend the crops and herdsmen driving their flocks to the market towns of Nottingham and Thetford.

The wide open lands of Kestevan are mostly moors and heathlands that surround the ancient fortress town of Carlisle.  It was to the safety of the town's walls that the people of the land would travel when Norscan Raiders beset the coast or terrible beasts emerged from the trees of the Sherwood.

Lying between the River Yar and the great estuary of the Thames, the Erewash is a small fiefdom of towns nestled amongst the coast, fenlands and hills of the Wolds.  A quiet and backward area of Albion, often unaffected by the outside world, the Erewash is famed for quality geese flocks that are annually driven from Norwich to the markets of London.

Capital

The hilltop city of Lincoln lies at the heart of Anglia and it is from there that the kingdom is ruled, with heralds dispatched to convey messages to the many villages and towns.  Merchants from across Albion come to trade in the corn and cattle markets, while peasants are hired to work the fields, tend livestock and guard against poachers and vagabonds.
