At begging it was habited by elfs, that by magic cloud control wild animals that lived numberously in Eternal Forests of that cold land, and creat new, enchanted creatures.
Later came the mens. Other mens started to call them "Nords", becouse their home was north.
Firstly the lived in peace with elfs, but then from south east came new religion, that considered existence of creatures created or controled by magic disgrace. That religion was leaded by Order, that had many strong magicans, own knights and small armies, besides that huge influence in states which belived in that religion. Nords converted to it, and started a war with elfs.
With Order's support they were able to push elfs out of penisula. They surrvived on island, called by Nords "Skaejel", thanks to their strong fleet. Island from north is close to south east part of Northern Peninsula, on south only narrow strait borders it from continent, that western side is mostly under control of Horde, that plunders, kills and destroy everything on their way. Nords' fight with elfs never came to an end.
They can, from special magic stones and tools, create nests on almost whole peninsula. Those nest summon forest's animals and etns that elfs use to make life of their adversaries harder. Humans struggle to destroy them, but then elfs on Skaejel create next. It's senseless, only way to end that war is conquer that island! That cloudn't be done however, because of strong elf's fleet. Nords struggeled to create it, but they are low on resurces, money, manpower and also often fight among themselves, thier technology level is lower than elfs' too, and big part of their coastline are cliffs. Now, there is an occasion. The Horde, with it battle sea monsters, is about to attack elfs! Order's mages predicted that, there is no doubt. Kingdom of Svëja, that currently borders Skäjel, rise fleets and armies to attack as soon as possible. Main army, consisting of regiment of mercenary knights from south states (Northen Penisula is mostly too cold to reproduce horses on it, so Nord's states don't have own cavalry formations) and division of infatry, consisting of skimrisers' regiment, axe throwers' regiment, swordsmans' regiment and archers' regiment, is leaded by War Jarl (a men that replaces Overjarl, the ruler of Nord's states ar war) Carl.
He is an interesting character- he is of noble brith (he has a little of royal blood in his vains as a far relative of Overjarl), but he was sent to army as common oficer due to intrigue. Political enemies of his family wanted him to die in army to left his fater without successor. Carl was able to survive in army. He get promoted fast, reaching even War Jarl position, even though his young age- he was fifteen when he strarted service, now he is just sixteen. He proven to be both brave warrior and wise general, he gained respect and sympathy of soliders.
Additionally, Order sent his mage, priests and knights to help in battle. Mage's magic will be a great help, thanks to it we can also know what's happening on whole battlefield. Small force of War Jarl Erick comes to help too.
Naval force consists of two fleets: one on north, on open sea, and one on south, on deep engoun lake guarded by fortress, to secrure it from attacks. There is a lake on a middle, but it's not as deep as southern one, so we can build only transport ships there.
Currently it's bolocked by dam , but once War Jarl Carl says a word, it can be destroyed so he can transport his army to enemy's island. Carl has plan for this battle: "Soliders! First, we need to destroy nest in area, so we can get rid of enchanted bastards from our way. Don't try to fight etns, we don't stand a chance against them, but if we destroy nests here, they will disappear. Our fleet is less numberous and weaker, also enemy can shoot to it with fire arrows. But most of his fleet will be busy or even destroyed by Horde. If we stick to shores and act carefully, we can destroy it. Then we will lunch an landing on enemy's land. To secure our control on it, we need to take that town and destroy magic stones amd tools on it, destroy it's defenses and kill enemy's wizard, so they definitely can't use magic from there anymore. We need to kill Horde's warlord too, so his forces will shatter once we are done. But I think elfs will do that for us! Soliders, win this battle and war that we fight for ages will be almost finished!" Svëja forces can't let Horde control city on Skäjel- they have shamans, and definitely cloud use them to hurt peoples of Northern Peninsula.
