The Kingdom of Hraalvar is home to the proud and warlike Hraals, a race of expert seafarers and cruel warriors. Hraalvar itself is a vast land of glacier-capped mountains, deep fjords, and alpine forests. Most Hraals live in walled towns and villages along the south and west coasts, and the only city of significant size is the grim capital, Krakenheim.

Hraalvar is a land of 13 warring sub-kingdoms. Though King Hralfnir is the Overking, his rule only extends to the city of Krakenheim and its surrounding lands. As Overking, King Hralfnir collects yearly tribute from the grafs, and has the authority to muster an army from them whenever the need arises. Traditionally, the Overking gathers an army once every two to five years, and uses it to raid the lands of the Emerald Isles and Lyrrea for plunder, slaves, and glory.
