Argensoll

Argensoll is the northernmost province in the Skilamrilusian Empire. It is also sometimes considered being a part of Norden.



Geography
Argensoll is mainly covered in forests and mountains. The Argmond mountains, which are located in the south-western part of the province, have the largest abundance of silver in the known world.

To the west it borders Åsmark, partly seperated by the river Naumelv. To the south it have a shoreline towards the sea Tilind's Mirror, and to the east it borders The Hevosian tribes. To the north it have a coastline towards the sea Vusjevik, which seperates it from Runskog.

History
Originally Argensoll was a part of Norden, as a part of the jarldom Åsmark.



In 863 a huge amount of Silver was found in an unsettled area in todays southern Argensoll, in the Argmond mountains. Since there were few people living in the area, The Skilamrilusian Empire settled a colony there. Åsmark saw this as decleration of war, and attacked the settlement, thus starting the First War of the North (also known as the Silver War). The war led to Åsmark losing large portions of it's terretories, all of which was included in as a new province in the Skilamrilusian Empire: Argensoll. The colony became the capital: Haam.

In the 869 Åsmark attacked the province in hope of retaking the lost terretories, a war known as the Second War of the North. The Skilamrilusian Empire made a deal with Fjordheim, who attacked Åsmark from the north. Due to fighting a war on two fronts, Åsmark lost severly.

Due to the low number of original inhabitants in the mountainus regions in Argensoll, most of the population today in the south are descending from people from Barantus, Luvania and Skilamrilusa, in further grade than from people of Norden.
