Overview

Frithre is the nation of the Humans, occupying the central-western portion of Alatrya. It is a significant continental power with deep historical roots, consolidated from three earlier Human kingdoms — Godalosvia, the Kingdom of Navakeveia, and Nabatia — into a single unified nation. Its capital, Godascher, sits at the confluence of the Tuskiev River and Kroviv River along the Sea of Hornaskia, extending into the edge of the Maviv Forest and along the coast, and is home to the largest Polaenian Church on the continent, the Grand Central Church of Godascher.

Geography (Notable)

Frithre spans a broad and geographically varied stretch of central-western Alatrya. The Sea of Hornaskia defines much of its northern coast, with rivers such as the Tuskiev, Kroviv, and Slobeska running through its interior. The Orbev Mountains mark the northern edge, and Maviv Forest runs through the central-northern territory. The Yatasha Plains and Sosseviv Grasslands make up much of the agricultural heartland.

History

Frithre's predecessor states — Godalosvia, the Kingdom of Navakeveia, and Nabatia — were three distinct Human kingdoms of the Conception Era that eventually consolidated into the modern unified nation. Godalosvia became the continent's first major trade hub and the site of the first stone bridge of scale. Human society was among the first to codify labor rights and formalize urban legal systems. The consolidation of the three kingdoms brought together the diverse Human ethnicities under one national identity.
