Skjoldeland (Navish:Skjolejord) officially the Republic of Skjoldeland (Navish:Republikk av Skjolejord) is a Sovereign State located in Northern Vestrim. The country comprises of the Saltvik, the North-Western Vestric Mountain Chain and the Northern Archipelago. The Country is bordered to the North by the Arctic Circle, to the East by (TBD), to the South by the UVSS and to the west by the Jade Ocean. Skjoldeland's population are all located in the south with the overwhelming majority living in southern and coastal regions. The arctic region is world renowned for it's glaciers and natural beauty attracting thousands of tourists annually.
Various indigenous peoples have inhabited what is now Skjoldeland for thousands of years before Asuran colonization. Beginning in the 17th century, Lhedwinic expeditions explored and later settled along the Jade coast. As a consequence of various armed conflicts, the Inuit people ceded all territories in the main Colonial regions. In 1810, with the union of multiple Lhedwinic North Vestric colonies into Lhedwinic west Vestrim, Skjoldeland was formed as a unitary dominion to serve Lhedwinic interests and protect trade routes.
