Kopparfell

Kopparfell, known to the Theddites as Copperias, is a Nordish tribal kingdom in the far North-West of the Continent, bordered by the Theddite kingdom of Carbatan and the Nordish state of Flittien. The capital of the kingdom as well as the largest city is Kopparburg (Copperburg in Theddite). Kopparish dominion covers a large forested area West of the Westriver and Northing mountains, and south of the Norden river.

History
The center of Kopparish politics, Kopparburg, was founded in 17843. The city was formerly a collection of small fishing villages and fur markets that gradually grew closer together, until becoming one political entity. Kopparburg was named after the Kopparish tribes that inhabit the vast area which is now the province of Koppar, and in turn became the namesake of the new kingdom.

Unification
In 18097, several large tribes of the High Nord, including the Koppars, Holvers, Keppelars, and Udrigars, united into a great Confederation to counter the increasing economic and political dominance of the centralized kingdom of Soudfell. Many other cities, tribes, and villages proclaimed allegiance to the Confederation within the next few years, expanding its influence, until in 18109 a king was appointed by a council of the constituent federated tribes. The council decided on the leader of the Northern Koppars, Abeskar I, based out of Kopparburg, which he designated the capital of the state. The newly crowned king reformed the Confederation into a centralized kingdom, which he named after his city and tribe. Abeskar set his sights immediately on Soudfell.

Kopparish-Suthing War
Abeskar raised a massive army of over 46,000 tribal warriors and mercenaries, and in January of 18111 marched across the Keppel river, the border between the two kingdoms, straight toward the Suthing capital, Toskafold. The city was once the largest in the entire Nordish world, before being sacked by Theddite forces in the Carbatanian-Suthing War. The Kopparish army reached Toskafold and laid siege without meeting resistance from Soudfell's forces, who were gathering in the South for a major confrontation. It came in March, when Soudfell's army of 33,000 men attempted to break the siege of Toskafold, resulting in the Battle of Toskafold. The Kopparish forces were caught off guard, but Abeskar regrouped, attacking the Suthing forces on the open farmlands outside the city's walls. The Suthing army was hastily put together and outnumbered, as well as lacking in supplies and morale after a long march from Soudport. Neither side could push the other back for several hours, and fatigue set in on both sides. However, after almost ten hours of constant fighting, the Kopparish forces broke through and overwhelmed the enemy. Almost all the Suthing soldiers were killed in the following hours, as Kopparish forces overran and cut down the entirety of Soudfell's army as they attempted to retreat. No more than a few hundred Suthings survived the battle, although Kopparfell's army also suffered staggering losses--by the time night fell, two thirds of the 46,000 Koppars were either dead or wounded. The immense loss of life on that day affected the High Nord for decades. The city fell a day after the battle, surrendering to the Kopparish army, and with that the kingdom of Soudfell was effectively wiped out, absorbed into the kingdom of Kopparfell.

Invasion of Carbatan
After the conquest of Soudfell, the Kopparish nobility were thirsty for further land acquisition. They prepared to attack Carbatan, the neighboring Theddite kingdom to the East, eager to reconquer the mainly Nordish-populated regions of Westreton and the Westbanks which had been taken during the Carbatanian-Suthing war centuries ago. ...
