Bavaria

Bavaria is a large province within the Empire, and is located in the northern region of Germany and borders to the north Denmark, to the south several provinces. Bavaria contains a massive population of which they maintain a vast majority of which are Teutonic, and the population is dense along the southern border with Hannover, and contains several cities with more then a million people living in the regions of them.

Bavaria was founded originally as a large home of humans during the growth of the Empire of Numeron, and unlike many of the regions of Germania that rebelled against the Numenorians they remained loyal to the Numenorians but of course the fact that they did not border the Numenorians meant they could not assist. Following this the region continued to thrive in its independance, and then this growth accelerated with the arrival of House Franz who came to found the Kingdom of Bavaria. The Kingdom of Bavaria stood for many generations, and it only ended when the leadership of the kingdom came to invade The Empire and were victorious in such a way that they in a lot of ways annexxed the empire into Bavaria as opposed to the other way around. Following this the Emperors of the Empire have on three occasions been from House Franz, and the capital of The Empire is inside Bavaria in the massive city of Aldorf. Bavaria is insolated enough inside The Empire that the invasions of the empires enemies have little effect on the people of this region, and this attitude means that this is the province more then any of the others that is almost arrogant in their sophistication, as well as being by far the wealthiest.

Climate
Bavaria falls climatically into the north temperate zone of central Europe that is affected by prevailing Westerlies and is located in a transition zone between the maritime climate of Western Europe and the continental climate of Eastern Europe. This transition is clearly noticeable within the state: whilst the northwest experiences an Atlantic (North Sea coastal) to Sub-Atlantic climate, with comparatively low variations in temperature during the course of the year and a surplus water budget, the climate towards the southeast is increasingly affected by the Continent. This is clearly shown by greater temperature variations between the summer and winter halves of the year and in lower and more variable amounts of precipitation across the year. This sub-continental effect is most sharply seen in the Wendland, in the Weser Uplands (Hamelin to Göttingen) and in the area of Helmstedt. The highest levels of precipitation are experienced in the Harz because the Lower Saxon part forms the windward side of this mountain range against which orographic rain falls. The average annual temperature is 8 °C (7.5 °C in the Altes Land and 8.5 °C in the district of Cloppenburg).

Following this he engaged in a verbal conflict with Andrew Lovie of Lucerne, and this has caused a serious ramping up of hostilities and led Karl to give the command to begin provocations against Arnor in the hope that they would fall for a trap, and engage in war.
