Most is done by village communities, who produce little surplus for urban centers. Rocky soil, blistering cold, and outdated equipment make agriculture different. The massive industrial farms that once dominated the rural landscape have since been abandoned or burned, either by partisans or foreign invaders. Often these groups will field partisan militias, roaming the Nordic lands destroying infrastructure in the name of revolution and preying on all those they deem ideologically impure. The Battanians faction makes use of its native woodlands in northwest Calradia, ambushing their enemies with specialized forest warfare and longbow men. These angry citizens are often recruited into radical parties promising change and revolution. The sight of Nordic soldiers equipped with cutting edge technology as the world around them descends into squalor fills the urban people with rage. These ships rarely contain anything beyond finished military hardware.


Unwilling or unable to supply the Nords with the resources necessary for survival, Commonwealth ships arrive at the port city of Kulumberg to a chorus of mass protest from starving Nords. The Commonwealth, while loaded with military hardware, will not spare much else. These troubled times have cut nearly every land trade route the Nords have. Nordland is harsh and devoid of many key natural resources, historically relying on trade for much-needed food and raw materials.
