Is this the ultimate thrust of the campaign? A god/demon/man behind the curtain? Are the five kingdoms set? For how long? Why? Does anyone want to consolidate or make a 6th? Does anyone else want to be king? Why is very little known about the south? Too dangerous? Recent occurence? You have to assume there were previous adventurors, I imagine. Norinland is isolated across all fronts. The closest trading partner is the Dragonborn country but the Dead Lands are in between. Why are relations strained? It is, at best, a distant trading partner of dubious consequence that poses no threat to the Dragonborn.  How do they come in contact? Why are they in conflict? As you said, the mostly unknown and unexplored Dead Plains are between them. Why are they even a meaningful source of trade? You might be better off treating your land as an isolated 800AD Europe, isolated mostly because they are of no interest to anyone else and have little to offer. If the King is distant and the 5 kingdoms are settled give him a hook to explain his power, or make the kingdoms fractuos and introduce some politics.</blockquote>
