Frostkin

[ History ] When Javid left the western archipelago, something...awakened there. Without the scorching heat of the greatest fire dragon alive, the cold seeped into the ground, changing the remaining inhabitants into various sorts of cold beastkin. Some even supernaturals. The Frostkin themselves, are the primary race of this "nation". One of their leaders, a former princess of the islands claimed power, snd crafted her own monarchy out of whoever was left. More people were attracted to this strange place nonetheless, and they were all absorbed into it. Until Princess Zephia had enough followers, she kept doing this with anyone that entered the isles.

Of course, at one point she assumed her nation was large enough, and then went to carry out reforms, building cities, as well as solidifying a monarchic system. Eventually, the world came to recognize them as a legitimate faction.

[ Economy ] They lend out their unique ice prowess to the Citadel, as well as make sure  that travel by sea is not impossible, for some distance either way. Exploration is still impossible, to further lengths towards the greater western continent, but the Frostkin are working on cleansing the seas.  The Citadel provides needed resources and even some of its alliances help in case the Frostkin need it.

[ Politics ] A set of seven royals is selected upon a period of time. A council of 70 elderly Frostkin choose whenever a royal needs to be replaced, and they pick another one. Royals in this nation however, are "made" instead of born. A random person is picked out of the population, and they are put into a cold stasis.

While in there, their appearance changes, as well as their behavior, voice...everything. The person they once were crawls to the depths of their mind, and only feels what is happening as if watching a very confusing movie. The success of the change however, is always affected by the persons character. Some people simply change into better monarchs, and these are rewarded, when their time to rule ends, they are restored their memories and old self, but are allowed to keep the glorious appearance and air of nobility of their royal form, not to mention rewarded handsomely in money.

Those who fail at this job however are frozen entirely, then melted to death.

[ Military ] Known for its well trained and powerful cavalry, composed of very strong beastkin or even supernatural mounts, for the elites and commanders, as well as a military academy that has produced quite a few skilled tacticians (unfortunately closed recently as of the actions of a set of royals), the Frostkin Kingdom would be one of the most formidable forces, if it only had more numbers, and a larger territory.
