'''Hengfors League''', formerly the [[East March]] of [[Kovir]], is one of the minor [[Northern Kingdoms|northern kingdoms]].

The capital city of the league is [[Hengfors (city)|Hengfors]], also the capital of [[Caingorn]]. The region is situated between the [[Dragon Mountains|Dragon]] and [[Kestrel Mountains|Kestrel]] mountain ranges on the [[Braa]] and the [[Buina]].

== History ==
===Settlement===
The Hengfors League was first settled by the [[Dauk]] and [[Wozgor]] people before the [[First Landing]] in the {{Year|year=760|canon=yes}}s, specifically the lands of Caingorn, [[Malleore]], [[Creyden]], and [[Woefield]], according to a classification by the historian [[Arnelius Grock]].<ref name="twotw">{{TWotW}}</ref>

===Secession of Poviss===
During the [[Secession of Poviss]] in which [[King]] [[Baldwin Thyssen]] was overthrown, Kovir lost control of the East March and the land was divided into minor kingdoms and duchies, which were later re-united by [[Niedamir]] of [[Caingorn]].

===Northern Wars===
During the [[Northern War II|Second Northern War]] from {{Year|year=1267|canon=yes}} to {{Year|year=1268|canon=yes}}, like [[Kovir and Poviss]], the League maintained neutral, due to the peace agreement signed with [[Nilfgaardian Empire|Nilfgaard]] by Niedamir after the [[Northern War I|first war]].<ref name="boe">{{BoE}}</ref> This saw a great number of refugees fleeing conflict choosing to live in the League.<ref name="toc">{{ToC}}</ref>

== National emblems ==
[[File:COA Hengfors League dragon.svg|100px]]

The League adopted Caingorn's emblem as their king, Niedamir, came from this kingdom. He then tried to change the silver [[Griffin (creature)|griffin]] to a gold [[dragon]] to show his heroism in trying to hunt a [[golden dragon]] named [[Villentretenmerth]], but this was mocked by the others and so he went back to the original emblem.<ref>[http://www.sapkowski.cz/erby.asp Czech site]</ref>
