Hengfors League, formerly the East March of Kovir, is one of the minor northern kingdoms.
The capital city of the league is Hengfors, also the capital of Caingorn. The region is situated between the Dragon and Kestrel mountain ranges on the Braa.
Like Kovir and Poviss, the League maintained neutrality during the Second Nilfgaard War.
History
The Hengfors League was first settled by the Dauk and Wozgor people before the First Landing, specifically the lands of Caingorn, Malleore, Creyden, and Woefield, according to a classification by the historian Arnelius Grock.[2]
During the Secession of Poviss in which King Baldwin Thyssen was overthrown, Kovir lost control of East March and the land was divided into minor kingdoms and duchies, which were later re-united by Niedamir of Caingorn.
National Emblems
The League adopted Caingorn's emblem as their king, Niedamir, came from this kingdom. He then tried to change the silver 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.[3]
