The kingdom of Gronevall

,,,,,

Welcome to the Kingdom of Gronevall. It is a small kingdom that lies in a fertile valley. It is surrounded by the sea on one side and by hills and mountains on the other sides. Because of this the country has prospered from trade and farming. The hills and mountains made for a secure border between Gronevall and its neighbors. The kingdom is based upon a divide between the nobility, clergy and the rest of the population. A large part of the population is a serf and forced to work the land. At the same time there is a group of wealthy merchants or craftsmen. The most wealthy of these are trying to become part of the nobility so they don’t need to pay taxes. Because of economic upheaval there is dissent brewing in the country. Serfs are becoming more disgruntled with the people in power and the wealthy merchants want more power. At the same time the educated elite strive for equality for all. During these events you live.
