Fortria is a council territory of the Kingdom of Moorland. The region is the most northwestern territory of the kingdom, centered around the city of Revby that sits on the banks of the Strait of Haifa. The council is bordered in the southwest by Kells and in the east by Nevermoor. It was conquered as part of The Rail Wars in order to quell hostile tribes of Fuath and restore key portions of the Trans-Keltian Express. Following a series of long and drawn-out engagements, the territory was annexed by Moorland in late 1748. The territory is primarily rural with nearly 30% of the population located in Revby. It also holds the largest concentration of indigenous Fuath and Norse in the kingdom.
History
The earliest inhabitants of Fortria were the Brittanic crusaders who founded the Kingdom of Syrah who founded the settlement of Joseph Rex mid-way between Revby and Hagbard. Closely aligned with Attera, the Syrans fell with the collapse of the Solomonic Empire and were replaced by the Sino-Keltian states. These minor states vacillated over the area until the Kingdom of Bosworth established a foothold around the delta of the straits, founding the settlement of Dominique a bit southeast of Joseph Rex. After Bosworth dissipated the area became a far-flung colony of Juclandia until that too was eventually consumed by the Green. Real development did not begin until Norse settlement began in the region in the mid-1600s. Normark began pouring significant resources into the area, including laying track for the Trans-Keltian Express. This greatly motivated industrialization of the region, but also put Norse settlers into conflict with indigenous Fuath.
Geography
Fortria's distinct boot shape lends it a unique geography. The eastern flank wraps around the western borders of Mercury, while the west is bounded by the Strait of Haifa, Kells, and the south by the Green.
Government
Although Fortia is a Council, just as other regions of Moorland, it is unique for having one of the most diverse set of representatives in the kingdom. The Fortrian council represents the ethnic Moorlanders, Fuath people, Qeltois nomads, Syran communities, and several other minority groups. This has caused both internal tensions and created difficulties in moving legislation forward as getting these many groups to agree has proven a challenge for Council Chair MacDunn. On the flip side, it has also been heralded as an example of cooperation and proof that a cooperative government can indeed work.
