Geography
The Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska lies to the frozen north of Tahn, where snow is experienced nearly all year round, bordering the Grand Kingdom of Urguan to the east, and the Crownlands of the Holy Orenian Empire by way of a narrow tunnel through the southern mountain ranges. Impassable mountains surround the kingdom, with the only access points located through the sea to the eastern border and the narrow passage that is guarded by the Alriczan Keep to the southern-most tip. The capital of St. Karlsburg is the most northern settlement in Axios, and one that does not shy away from its concentrated highlander culture.
Lake Burkhart is located to the south west of the kingdom, and is overshadowed by the shear rock face of Rodrik's peak. Perched on the mountain are the ancient ruins of previous settlers.
Notable Figures
Coat of Arms
The royal coat of arms consists of 16 quarterings and symbolises the two kingdoms under one king, and its roots. The iron crown and shackles depicted recognises the roots from Saint Joren of Paradisius, the first King of the Highlanders, who was locked away by his brother Harren to claim his land. Houses Kovachev and Carrion are also depicted, with Carrion being the parent house of Kovachev. The golden crow on black represents Tuvic, a link to the Holy Orenian Emperor Alexander I, further highlighting the strong connections between the Holy Orenian Empire and the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska. Other arms depicted include those of Ostrovic, Rovin of Ayr, and Hanseti.
The royal blazon is as follows:
- Quarterly, first and fourth quartered: first and fourth Sable a crow Or (for Tuvic); second Gules a crow Sable (for Carrion); third reversed party per pall: first Gules a phoenix Argent (for Ostrovic), second Sables two griffin rampant Gules (for Kovachev), and third Or eagle Sable with Argent bend (for Rovin of Ayr). Second and third party per pale: first party per fess: first Or a eagle Sable (for Ayr), second Argent a teutonic cross Sable against Or (for Hanseti); and second Azure a circlet Argent above broken shackles (of Saint Joren of Paradisius). For a crest, a circlet Or, jewelled with five breeches of bear or oyster plant leaves, three shown, with latin cross Or and gems Azure on points Or inserted (the Hanseti-Ruska royal crown). For supporters angels Argent.
