The Realm of Velmir (Vlm: Vaelmrs Reig) is a nation in northern Wudor. A sparsely populated and largely geographically isolated land, Velmiric clans were largely isolated from the rest of the world until incursions by the First Shining Empire saw the intrusion of Myriadic thought into Aengmir, starting a lasting conflict between Velmir and the Shining Empire, though hostilities did not significantly carry on to it’s successor states.
Velmir is actively hostile towards the Kingdom of Valens, as both seek to establish firm control over the Ettish People polities and coastline in order to project naval power. Valens and Velmir have been engaged in an undeclared naval conflict since 1249 VD, categorized as the Velmiric Slave Raids. They enjoy somewhat friendly relations with the Lesser Koy to their south due to mutual hostilities with successive Siege Orcish hordes, and occasionally come into conflict with the Teurechti People Western Shining Empire.
The subdivisions of Velmir, Lesser Velmir (Skaelmir), the core territories of the Velmiric clans, Greater Velmir (Aengmir), the outlying territories of the Western Shining Empire adjacent isles, The Northern Iolaire Isles, (Ørnvaeng), conquered from the Eagleheart Elves. The territories of the Huskarldom of Orngard are often included due to their Velm populace, despite never having come under the political jurisdiction of Velmir proper.
