Havenkol

Havenkol is a large region on the northern coast of Kiouek that is known for it's large farmlands and wooded areas. The Western boarder of Havenkol is along the Key of the Land, a massive river that runs from the Keyloo Sea to the to the Nathulian Ocean. East of Havenkol, there are more arid plains boarding the Northern branch of the Kreenmount Mountain Range. There is no centralized government governing over the whole of Havenkol, and instead there are a collection of alliances, city-states, towns, villages, hamlets, farms, and wilderness.

History
In 4950 SC, Two large city-states to the Mid-East of Havenkol formed an alliance. Later on, more lordships, city-states, and other small governments would join this alliance, making the Alliance of High Lords. This alliance has an almost continuous band of control from North to South in their region.

In 4987 SC, many tribal societies to the Far East of Havenkol formed the Tribal Union to emphasis the similar cultures of the Eastern orc, kobold, wolffolk, and human tribes while also allowing for individuals to stand strong in their identities as separate tribes.

In 4996 SC, a large movement of migrants from the Alliance of High Lords territory moved from cities to settle wilderness to their east. This agricultural migration destroyed the buffer between the Alliance and the Union. As towns and farms cropped up further East, representatives of the Tribal Union came to inform new settlers of their laws. At the same time, westbound Union humans and orcs had been making the boarder region increasingly diverse.

As the High Lords of the Alliance heard news of this, they assumed that all humans in the East of Havenkol were their subjects and needed protection. They sent an embassy to the Tribal Union and let them know that they would handle the protection and law keeping for all humans. The Tribal Union was confused and said that there were humans that belonged to the Tribal Union. The Alliance took this as the Union claiming Alliance subjects. As the two nations mixed further at their gradual boarder, the Lords and Chiefs of each side debated where a concrete boarder could be places. Both sides refused to have enclaves and could not find an agreement. With neither side forfeiting land, the negotiations halted at a standstill.

In 4999 SC, the Alliance of High Lords and the Tribal Union in the East of Havenkol began their war against each other. Agreeing to end their land conflict with martial prowess, the two groups of leaders launched a campaign to secure their territories.
