The Divine Kingdom of Newces sprawls across temperate northeastern plains and coastlines, stretching hundreds of miles of farmland, marsh, and coastal trade routes. A theocratic naval state where magic is common, Newces blends Mercian human traditions with Half-Giant and Rujin communities under Brasterdenese doctrine. Strong ports and church-run institutions shape law and culture while inland baronies and clans maintain local autonomy, making the region rich with trade, pilgrimage, and political friction.
