Jarneyland
Island of Iron. Northern island off the coast of Bryteland, it is about 175km long and 150km wide. It is famous for the large number of mines currently being worked on the isle. Most of these are iron mines, but there is a silver and a tin mine as well.
Politics
The Kingdom of Jarneyland is ruled by King Gorm the Old, a 78 year old man whose viking days are behind him. However, he has a reputation of being cruel and heartless, and most fear his wrath.
Gorm rules the Kingdom with an iron fist, with his sons ensuring his edicts are carried out. He has nine sons, eight of which are old enough to be warriors in their own right, though the eldest is over 50 years old.
Gorm's three wives (Jorunn, 76; Hallbera, 65 and Thora, 28) do not have much say in the running of the kingdom, and are pretty much ignored. Jorunn and Hallbera no longer live with their king.
Gorm's Family
Gorm's sons are as follows: Ornolf (53, of Jorunn); Kodran (47, of Jorunn); Ljot (44, of Jorunn); Steindar (39, of Hallbera); Sokkolf (38, of Jorunn); Knut (35, of Hallbera); Styr (22, of Hallbera); Gest (17, of Saeun - she died giving birth to a daughter a couple of years later); Odd (2, of Thora).
Gorm also has five living daughters. All are married off, their ages being 50, 43, 32, 31 and 24.
