Norholt

Glorious Realm of His Highness Prince Greyhame

Lay of the Land

Norholt is an isolated part of Albion, surrounded by high mountains and lashed by a cruel sea, with but a few safe passes to the lands of Deira and Elmet beyond.  It is the geographical isolation of the realm that has shaped the history and identity of both Norholt and those who live there. 

Capital

By far the single most important habitation in the realm, the Town of Norholt is home to many of the hardy folk who reside in this Principality.  It is here that the Prince resides and the famous Norholt Library can be found.  Hardy trappers and hunters can often be found in the taverns, selling their goods and sharing tales of their dangerous quarry.
