Ostland, officially The Kingdom of Ostland (Ostlandic: Der Ostreich), is a nation located on the continent of Keltia. A hereditary monarchy, it is ruled by Nikolaus VI, a distant cousin of the Einhorn clan of Normark. The people of Ostland are believed to be descended from the ancient races of Normark and Cerulea of whom had fled the Durge many thousands of years ago.
Prehistoric Origins
It is believed by many scholars and genetic researchers alike that the origins of the Ostlandic people descend from the ancient Norse. Verbal and written lore of the wiking peoples of Normark and Ostland describe many clans and their kin migrating eastward, crossing the Strait of Haifa into easternmost Keltia. The capitol of Ostland, Reichsborg, is regarded as the oldest settlement in the country, with archeologists finding remnants of dwellings dating well over 3,500 years old.
