Finkland

Finkland is one of the first countries to declare independence from the Northern Kingdoms such as Ice Kingdom or Sogaim Kingdom. Although their territory is quite small, they fight like lions to preserve their independence from any kingdom. And to contradict what you just read, they have made an alliance with the Elven Kingdom of Gilyan Mons that prevents the latter from annexing them and obliges them both to protect each other. This alliance is called Fülkyriedsvanr.

Finkland is a Nordic country which is one of the many enemies of the Ice Kingdom and it covers a relatively small area compared to the latter. It has only about ten villages and only one town: Snowpeak, which is also their capital.

Borders
Finkland shares its borders with the Snowod and the Elf Kingdom of Gilyan Mons.

Territory
Finkland has a small territory stuck on the edge of the Whroenngard. The country runs along the coast and extends about ten kilometers inland to encompass the smallest part of the Abandoned City of Xyvaya, the one in the Northeast. Finkland also has one of the Northern Islands (Ülkyvëibos), Silkergund.

Capital
The Capital City of Finland is Snowpeak

Guilds
Finkland is home to very few Guild members; the only one that is somewhat present is the Fishermen's Guild, which has many houses and docks in Snowpeak.

Supernatural Relationships
They have a temple dedicated to Shev, goddess of the Thaw and Snowdrifts. Their standard is ice-blue with three white snowdrops, although their flag is three different blues.

Architecture
They have their own particular architecture: they have plant terraces and water tanks on each roof, some houses even have crops and greenhouses to grow their own food on their roofs. The most amazing thing is the large fires that are continually lit near the plantations to prevent snow from covering them.

Meaning of the flag
The three blues symbolize the different aspects of cold and ice for the inhabitants:

The dark blue represents the melting of the ice, which makes the rivers swell and carries the ships away for their flourishing trade.

The light blue (in the middle) shows the snow and ice that remains throughout the year, as a reminder that winter will return.

The blue (far right) symbolizes Snowpeak's hot springs.

Resources and Trades
Finkland's business is centered on Ispike, a metal that is easily found in the Nordic countries and on fir wood, which Snowod overshadows, so Finkland concentrates on Ispike. Given the small number of ports that Finkland has, Finnish merchants often trade with the surrounding countries and kingdoms; Rieldsvan and the Elf Kingdom of Gilyan Mons are one of their first destinations due to their high consumption of Ispike.
