Kingdom of Bolten

The Kingdom of Bolten is a small Kingdom located in the southern region of the Westros regions of Central Europe.

The Kingdom of Bolten was originally formed out of the Empire of Numeron city of Bolvia, and over time the Atlantians of the regions emmigrated away as Westros became a center of Gothic culture. With the Goths now the majority in the Bolten region the members of the influencial House Bolten transformed their personal estate into the current day city of Dreadfort and founded the Kingdom of Bolten.

The Kingdom of Bolten is controlled in its entirety by House Bolten, who use two loyal Houses in House Cole, and House Karstark to control the surrounding towns of the Bolten region.

With the Downfall of the Numeron passing by the next influencial moment for the region was the Great Migration of Germanic tribes fleeing the coming of Chaos. Due to this migration the once completely Atlantian people of the region were slowly outnumbered by Goths who swelled the regions numbers.

In these coming Gothic families was the family that would come to be known as House Bolten, and at the time it was led by the first great member of the House in Jornin Bolten.

Growth of Dreadfort
Jornin Bolten saw that with the departing Atlantians the Goths were going to have a home of their own, and in this way he begin marshaling his personal thralls in his estate to build farms in the surrounding regions, and he offered goth families the chance to farm these lands the only cost being they swore loyalty to House Bolten. For poor goth families this offer was beyond great, and the region around his estate swelled with the coming families. With the farm land all taken he began inviting them to start businesses, and industry in the estate that he now renamed Dreadfort.

In his 45 year life he would turn his small estate of only 120 people into a town of 1200 and a surounding farmland loyal to him of hundreds more.

Goverment
The Kingdom of Bolten is utterly dominated by the powerful House Bolten, but officially they are ruled in a triumverate of the three great Houses of Bolten. House Bolten controls the three Houses by making the heir to the throne of the other two houses forced to live in Dreadfort, where he is controlled by House Bolten.

Ethnicity

During the events of the Great Migration the region became dominated by the now majority group in the Goths.

Religion
The Goths of Bolten are followers of the Dragon, but the leadership of Bolten and especially House Bolten are extremely secular in their views, and for them religion is not only not important but it is distracting.
