History[]
The Jarldom of Sidaett was a vassal state under the protection of the Konungdómr of Bjarnrík. It had long stood as the first line of defense between Gerudian civilization and the Troll threat from the wastes of Far Gerudia. Constant fighting for survival, both against the hated trolls and the harsh, near arctic environment forged a strong people who have learned to take what riches they can from their land... and their enemies. Starting at the end of the 15th century, brave (or reckless) Gerudians seeking wealth from furs and hidden treasure in the frontier would set forth from Algrar. When gold was discovered in the Gullmork, roughly half of it was transported through Sidaett and down the Rafn river, increasing Sidaett's wealth and importance.
Economy[]
Sidaett's Silfrhof market was known as a quality source of Gerudian furs and amber jewelry.
In the early 15th century, a famous Revrhavn raider, long retired, passed away intestate while in Sidaett lands. The Sidaett's jarl claimed the money and founded the Silfr Bank. It quickly became the premier bank in Gerudia and was a great boon to Sidaett's economy.
Even in a land as wild and harsh as Gerudia, taxes must be collected for the Jarl. The Tax Sheriffs were created to travel throughout Sidaett, collecting payment in any form; from currency to jewels to crops. In the late 15th century, the King of Bjarnrík legitimized the Tax Sheriffs as official collectors for his kingdom.
Architecture[]
The Rav District of Silfrhof is home to the finest examples of Gerudian architecture and design; public gardens, squares, and buildings decorated with exquisite carvings are abundant. The sheer quantity and quality of the art and landscaping present are due to the wealth of Sidaetter merchants, especially from the Amber trade for which the district is named.
