Eisbern

History
Once the Khartedaic horde split off in the year 181, they soon broke Gaulitia's former complete control over the continent. Ever being chased, this left an opening in territory and an opening in the Gaulitian military's focus--an opening the Eisberian King Maximilian Augustus Willem XI (known as the Avalanche of Death to Gaulitian generals) took without a second thought, invading the north-eastern shores of Jular and establishing foothold quite quickly. Gaulitian armies opposed him fiercely with what they could muster, but the Eisberian armies are notoriously resistant to magic due to the harsh, freezing climate of their home continent. This messed with Mage Marshall Julia's tactics, and she fell to the Avalanche in 184 after which Gaulitia brokered peace with the invader. The history of Eisbern is not, however, one of naught but roses. Gaulitia soon clapped back, backed up by God-King Trajan, and sacked the Eisberians in 185, putting a stop to the Avalanche by killing him in battle. Eisbern was nearly conquered, but the capital proved too tough for Gaulitia to take and after a few years the war broke off again.
