The Nord Highlands (ノルド高原 Norudo Kōgen) is the vast plateau located northeast of Erebonia, beyond the Eisengard Range. The people of this region have been nomads since ancient times, with their livelihood revolving around tending sheep and horses in these pastures.
Residents[]
The Nord Nomads live in the Highlands in the northern part of the Empire. They are known throughout Erebonian history as people of spiritual faith, living their everyday life hunting and stock breeding.
During the "War of the Lions" in which the candidates for emperor fought for the throne, the Nord people rallied for Imperial prince Dreichels Reise Arnor, who would become emperor. The Nord Highlands are located in the space between the Erebonian Empire and the opposing Calvard Republic, and is becoming wrapped up in a territorial dispute between the two countries.
