The leader of the Kingdom of Virgia was King Yarogerke. Their symbolic animal is the snow leopard. The national flag is a snow leopard with a gray and white background, and the national proverb: a warrior after a hundred battles.
The snow leopard is an important big cat carnivore and flagship species, known as the "snow leopard" because of its frequent movement near the snow line and in the snow. Its fur is grayish-white, with black spots and black rings, and its tail is long and thick, and it is known as the 'King of Snow Mountains'.
The Virgians used the snow leopard as their symbolic animal, and its meaning is well known to the world. The strong, resilient and tenacious Virgians are considered to be the only people on the continent who are physically fit to fight the Nords.
The vast snowfields in the northeast and the plains along the north coast belonged to the Kingdom of Vegia. Originally a barren land, the Virgians have built their home in this cold and barren land with perseverance and hard work.
They lived in the ice and snow, and the cold climate made the Vigians mostly hunt for a living, which made them highly skilled in combat and tracking, both riders and infantry could move quickly in all kinds of terrain, and the archers were famous for their archery skills.
The Vegia Snowfields are rich in unique cold-resistant horses and elite Veguian cavalry armor, making the Vegia knights capable of fighting any invading cavalry. In particular, the arrow array formed by the Virgian archers, like the waves of arrows, will even crush the charging knight formation, and the speed of knocking down the enemy is like hitting a fly.
The precision of the Virgian archers is a headache for all enemies, especially when more than half of the soldiers in most legions are such low-cost and high-quality archers. However, the low defense became a hard wound for the Vigian army, and the inability to carry a shield with a two-handed axe became the reason for the sacrifice of many infantry warriors.
The number of archers and the lack of melee combat skills made it a massacre to be disrupted by a cavalry charge.
The village of Virgia is a little poor, but if the heavens close a door, it will give a window. Precious furs and silks, as well as air-dried meat and linen, kept the capital city of Zhivading in the middle and east of the continent in a constant stream of trading caravans, and the dinar flowed every day.
However, trade attracted prying eyes, and there were many snow thieves composed of local people. They were numerous, often in groups searching for caravans to plunder their wealth, and pirates from the west often crossed the border to fight the autumn wind, much to the anxiety of the lords.
Luxury also attracted the attention of the enemy, and the two strong fortresses in the mountains of the southeastern part of the country struggled to defend themselves against the cavalry of the Kugit Khanate, but often they slipped through the fortress and rushed straight into the hinterland, and by the time the lord's army arrived, they had already completed their raids and fled.
Virginia is rich in forests, so the traditional houses are built of wood, and there are two main styles: one is made of logs, which is very strong, and the other is made of wooden boards, which is delicate and beautiful.
The roof of a traditional wooden house is in the shape of a "man" because of the abundant snowfall in Virginia's winters, and the "man" shaped roof has a large slope to make it easier for the snow to slide.
Some of these wooden houses have chimneys and some do not have chimneys. There is an attic in the upper part of the house, which can be used for storage or children's living and playing. There is also a half-story underground of the wooden house, about one person deep, which is mainly used to store food, vegetables and wine, and also has the effect of moisture and moisture.
In front of the door of the wooden house is a rectangular porch, and there are usually four or five steps under the porch. To enter the wooden house, you must first walk up the steps and pass through the porch before you can enter the door. There are generally three or four rooms in the house, ranging in size from ten to twenty square meters, which are the living room, bedroom, dining room and kitchen, and the rooms are spacious with wooden floors on the floor.
The windows of wooden houses are generally facing south, and the window frames are decorated with triangular friezes or flowing water patterns, and there are small air windows for ventilation, and the window sills are wide and there are pots of flowers. There is a side room next to the main house, which is used to store furniture or use as a warehouse. The courtyard around the hut is surrounded by a wooden fence and there is a vegetable garden.
The Virgians belong to the Guchal race of the Eastern continent and have the basic characteristics of this race: light-colored skin and limbs, soft wavy hair, well-developed beard and body hair in men, narrow and raised nose, thin lips, straight jaws, well-defined facial contours, and medium or above average stature.
The ancestors of the Virgias were the ancient Charis living in the Charlonay Snow Field, north of the continent of Calradia, whose harsh climate has shaped the Shire's tenacious national identity, while the lack of resources has also made them keen to explore the unknown world.
Back in March 703 of the Carradian calendar, early spring.
Some of the Shirs went out to sea by boat, jumped over the treacherous 'Wakahai' and 'North Sea', and came to the northern continent of ice and snow [Yamuna], where they settled down to merge with the aborigines, and formed the later Nords. But the Nords have always denied this.
The other part of the Char people traveled south, through the dense and vast 'cedar forests', and over the steep and steep 'northern mountains' to the continent of Calradia. They settled in the lands north of the 'Kudan River' and went on to form what is now the great Virgia nation.
Virgia means "visitor in the forest" in Old Karada, which shows that the Calradians at that time welcomed these Shirs from the eastern continent.
Described by the bards of the time as a land of plenty, the continent of Calradia was widely sung in the continent of Charodia, where a large number of Shirs came to the continent of Calradia through cold forests and steep mountains in search of wealth. These included lords, poor peasants, and robbers. The original Vigias settled along the 'Kudan River' and made a living by hunting and fishing.
At that time, the Kalad Empire was tolerant of these dependents, and the Virgians paid a small tax and were free to live in their own territory.
The Virgians were bound by blood into many tribes of various sizes, perhaps occasionally conflicting but largely united. With the gradual decline of the Karad Empire, the empire began to oppress the Vigians, and due to the rich iron ore deposits under the vast snowfields on the banks of the Kudan River, the empire began to forcibly recruit Vigian men to engage in mining and increase taxes.
Due to the increasing taxes imposed by the later rulers of the Empire, the Vygians of the Snow Plains were the first to split away from the ruling center of the Empire. Several Virginian lords were dissatisfied with the Emperor's rule and privately organized a united state, Virginia. This includes the 'Virginia Plateau', which is now the county of Kudan and the county of Kulau, which are actually some bitter cold places.
When these regions declared their independence from the Empire, the Emperor was furious and sent a powerful army to suppress them. The Vegians were hunters of the old woods, relying on forests and frozen rivers to ambush the Imperial army during the harsh winter months, and the bloody Vigians used their familiarity with the terrain and their skilful archery skills to counter the Empire's mighty cavalry.
The Imperial army suffered heavy casualties, and because the battle line was too long, medicine and food could not be supplied in time, and the Imperial army was forced to retreat by the Virginians. The main reason for the Empire's defeat was that the snowy terrain was not suitable for large-scale cavalry warfare. In the cold winter of January 1017 in the Carradia calendar.
After nearly a hundred years of struggle, the powerless Empire finally relented and made the snowfields north of the 'Kurau River' a permanent territory of the Virgian people.
The nobles of the empire did not think that the cold land was of great strategic significance, and the dim-witted king actually recognized the independence of the eastern kingdom of Vegia, but demanded that Vegia must be a vassal to the empire, and recognize it as a part of the empire, and pay annual tribute to the hides and timber in the mountains.
The Virgians also paid a heavy price for the war, so they gladly accepted such conditions. In this way, the Kingdom of Virgia became legitimized, but at that time, it was still a vassal state of the Kallad Empire.
The great Virgian nation has entered a new era. They borrowed from the imperial political system to formulate a regime that did not lose its own characteristics. They began to shift from the old mode of production based on hunting and fishing to a new mode of production based on farming and breeding, and they began to mine iron ore.
In the years that followed, there were also large and small wars between the empire and Vegia, and the Vigians gradually occupied the lower reaches of the Polak River [Kulau] and the [Rivacheze] in the North Sea, becoming more and more powerful. They compare themselves to the tigers of the snowfields and use the snow tigers as their national flag.
The security in the Kingdom of Virginia is the worst in the entire continent of Calradia. The pirates, the snow bandits, and the ringing horses all pose a threat to the people of the Virginia Plateau. In the southern part of the kingdom and the Kugit Khanate, there were frequent territorial disputes.
The Virgians were a hunter-gatherer people, and the people were good at archery. The resulting Virgian marksman is the pride of the kingdom. In 1232-1235, during the Battle of Živatōze, the Vigian marksmen inflicted heavy casualties on the Nord army. Gunding Harebrecx also died from a sniper attack by a marksman.
The kingdom's strongest fighting power is made up of marksmen, noble knights and noble guards. He played a great role in the war with the Nord Kingdom.
The Vigia army was very balanced, with strong infantry, well-armed knights, and archers who were so strong that they could make it difficult for the enemy to storm the city. The Vigian army was armed with axes (the infantry and cavalry were two-handed crescent axes), and they were very difficult to defeat.
Vigia is a country with a very comprehensive and balanced development of all branches of the armed forces, and attaches great importance to the mutual cooperation of all branches of the armed forces. In reality, however, the infantry and cavalry of Vigia generally lacked shields, and in siege warfare, they performed even worse than the underrated Swadian sergeants.
The Kingdom of Virgia borders the territories of the Kingdom of Nord, the Kingdom of Swadia and the Kingdom of Kugit Khanate, and it occupies four towns: the city of Frost [Zhivading], the royal capital of the Snow Plains [Kudan], the sheltered river port [Kulau], and the coastal giant city of [Zhiwacheze]. ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Class Profile:
Virgia Knight: A knight who wields a two-handed axe and a one-handed scimitar with a shield, but the damage is lower when using a two-handed weapon immediately than when walking. And the equipment is only chain armor, and the defense is not as good as the knights of Svadia. Because they mostly slashed and killed cavalry, they were best at dealing with infantry.
Defender of Vegia: Infantry with two-handed axes (some with shields and spears) will certainly have more attack power than one-handed weapons. But I'm most afraid of running into archers. Because they can't stop the arrows without a shield, they usually lose a lot of money when they advance in a rain of arrows. Defending the city is when the Defenders of Virgian can be most effective.
Virgian Marksman: The strongest archer in the continent, he can compete with Rhodok's crossbowmen. However, when comparing the two, the Virgians value the speed of fire, while the Rhodoks value the defense of the class. Hand-to-hand combat is undoubtedly advantageous to the better-equipped Rhodoks. However, if the two play against each other, it will be Virgian who will win. Because the bow fires faster than the crossbow.
