The Northeast

As of the Fall, the Northeast has become the least populous and considered to be the military-wise weakest of the eleven blocks that form the current Union of the Heart. The Northeast's wealth mainly stems from its strategic trade routes, ship building sector, and financing sector. However, a reemerging production and agricultural sector have fueled strong ambitions within Carolin Nationalist to reclaim their position as leading nation within the Union.

Creation of the State of Three Nations
Marking the beginning of the Late Eternity of Ice, the glaciers covering the southern paths from the Progenitor Realm (Later to be known as the Dragon Cities) retreated, allowing the predecessors of the Northeast to leave the exile of Ice and reach the fertile southern lands of the Northeast.

As of HEM16, there are three distinct nations found within the Northeast, namely the Wormatens, the Nassave, and the Wittel. All three being ethnic Carolin nations. Additionally, the two minor ethnically distinct tribes of Hoogeland and Appledam control their own semi-autonomous Bunderals.

The Nation of Wormatens
Also known as the first Carolin people, the Houses of Wormatens pride themselves in being the first and the purest of the Wormatens within the Northeast. Before the Fall they used to have the closest blood relations to the Dragon Cities in the Far North. While the cradle of the Wormatens lies in the Dale of Roses, their center of power has shifted ever since the Fall towards the Franksten Regions. As of HEM16 the Wormatens hold the northern regions of the Northeast.

The Nation of Nassave
The Nassave control most of the orange basin up to the Bischnitz river. A mercantile people, the ethnic Carolin people of Nassave have mixed with Islanders from the Sea and Distant Rocks, as well as traders all over and beyond the stretched of the Stonemason Realm. Leading to an exotic range of appearance even within the oldest and most respected families of the Nassave.

Albeit being fabulously rich, the Nassave have split into two factions, namely the Orange Bay faction to the east of the Orange Basin and the Den Hrangen faction to the west.

The Nation of Wittel
The youngest of the nations within the Northeast are the Wittel. After the Fall of the Northeast and the resulting depopulation of the central plains, Startfort and Pan Boana have settled in the vast Mingan planes, mixing with the remaining local population. With the Pan Boana settlers being distant relatives to the Carolin, they form a strong block of Carolin farmers with the local Mingan people. However, major political power within the Wittel is with the ethnic Kodhars from Starfort. Leading to an ever lasting clash of cultures.

Administrative Subdivisions
The Northeast is subdivided into six administrative regions called Bunderals.

The Golden Route in the Northeast
The Northeast is one of the core countries of the Golden Route. Coming from the distant northern cities, the road runs from the northeastern Rozendale Bunderal down to the very southwestern Hoogeland Bunderal of the state, continuing into the lands of the Starfort.

Silver Route
With the infrastructure concordat of EEM 12, signed between the Tooth Governance, the Circles of the Franksten Nobility, and the Orange Trade Council, the construction of well-cobbled roads in conjunction with the Golden Route was decided. The name Silver Route derives from the shining grey granite sourced from the Hoogeland quarries to serve as the bedding of the route. Despite the name, the Silver Route is not a singular uninterrupted road, but rather multiple long stretches of cob-stone road stretching through the respective Bunderals to provide access to the golden route.

There are seven stretches of the Silver Route:
 * The Lake Traower Silver Ring Road
 * As a subsection of the Lake Traower Silver Ring Road: The Zwille Silver Router
 * The Bischnitz Silver Route
 * The Plumish Silver Route
 * The Sanktum Silver Route
 * The Silver Route of Appeldam
 * The Silver Route of Orange
