Hals

Hals is a Stratocracy, with the highest ranking General of their military serving as the Halsian commander. Hals is bordered by Volaris, its oldest rival; the Bekon Empire, an economic ally; and Parea, a nation Hals has a cold respect for.

Hals is separated from Parea by the Diplevri Hills. While Hals is largely a human nation, there are quite a few Half-Orc citizens to be found the closer to the Diplevri Hills one travels. The further south one goes in Hals the more likely it is that a more diverse group of people will be encountered as an impact of growing closer to Bekon, the capital city of the Bekon Empire.

The current Halsian Commander is a human woman named Bryldana Rond. Wise beyond her years, Bryldana worked her way through the ranks of the Halsian military from discrete but humble beginnings. She now rules Hals firmly and justly, often lauded as the most capable leader the nation has seen in generations.

Hals is largely a frigid tundra, making the citizens of a hardy and resourceful stock. Nearly all citizens have spent some amount of time in the Halsian military, meaning that even the most unassuming of farmers can pose a significant threat to those looking to take advantage of them.

The people of Hals, fierce as they may be, are largely honest, caring people, however. From their experience of surviving some of the harshest winters Almora has to offers, they understand the need of neighborly compassion, and have no problem taking good-natured travelers into their homes, so long as those travelers are willing to earn their keep while they stay.
