The Kingdom of Moorland, or simply Moorland, is a small state located in northeastern Keltia, bounded on the north by Mercury and in the south by Ostland. It considers itself to be a cultural successor to the Kingdom of Nova England, though it does not claim direct descent from the royal line of Josephus I. Although culturally and linguistically similar, it is not to be confused with Hurmudan Moorland to the south.
History
Moorland was originally a region of Nova England, though the kingdom is only a recent development, having been declared in 1718. Following the Nova English diaspora, and the departure of the royal family to the South Sea Islands, those who remained behind found themselves at the mercy of various hostile tribes. New populations moved in from the west, especially the Norse. Bassarids had also begun to enter the area, moving north from Haifa. While the Warring Islands were secured by the benevolent forces of the Benacian Union, the mainland was not so fortunate. Although the Norse were not openly hostile to the locals, they nonetheless subjugated them during the formation of Ostland. Hurmu, in an attempt to bring peace and stability to the region, established its own presence in the form of Moorland to the south. But the corridor to the north, outside of Ostland's control and south of Mercury, controlled by the Clans of Moorland, refused to be brought to heel and resisted all attempts at colonization. Over time the Clans, facing continued external pressure, united under Chief MacMartin to form the Kingdom of Moorland.
