Northern Mountains

The Northern Mountains are a location in Perfidy.

Location
The Mountains lie on the very northern part on the Paradise Isle. Officially the border gives the Feral Hills and Western United Pastures some mountains as well, but since both don't have any interests in the mountains, these few mountains officially in the Hills or Pastures are still considered part of the Northern Mountains by most.

Climate
Like the rest of the Paradise Isle, the Mountains has a Mediterranean climate. However, due to lying much farther north than any of the other counties on the Paradise Isle, the winters are longer and tougher, and it tends to be a bit cooler than in the rest of the Isle.

Flag
The flag of the Northern Mountains is simple: a dark, forest green background with the symbol of the kingdom in gold. The green represents unity (since the inhabitants of the kingdom are almost entirely aelurodons) and a love for nature. The golden color represents royalty and the eye color of the species.

History
Back in the olden days, the Mountains were officially part of the Pastures. However, due to the harsh and cold nature, no one really showed interest in it, and the king quickly just let the mountains go. The animals that already lived in the Mountains could choose to either remain part of the Pastures, which most did.

However, some stayed behind and declared themselves a kingdom, with a local aelurodon becoming King. However, due to the very low population density and harsher nature of the Mountains, cultivation and building a civilization has been going very slow. Even after many years, it's still the land with the lowest population density.

Recently, a war has broken out between two groups in the Northern Mountains. There are the southerners of the Mountains, who want a new monarch, after its current ruler is so mysterious and seemingly unfit for the throne, while there are also those who swore allegiance to the throne and fight for the queen's right to rule. This war has been going on for a couple of years now, and it doesn't look like its ending anytime soon. The other kingdoms on the Paradise Isle just let the war be. This is causing the Northern Mountains to slowly tear itself apart, though.

The war is going at an abnormally slow pace, sometimes with months without an attack, but it still goes on.
