Caruvis

Caruvis was an ancient kingdom in northern Northmarch in Equis.

History
Caruvis was founded in Northmarch some time after the neighbouring dwarven kingdom of Brovumir. Along with Brovumir and the Asoan Empire further to the south, Caruvis received one of the three volumes of the Renascentia Arcanum.

Tormist Rebellion
At some point, Tormism took root in Caruvis. As the worship of Ephereos spread, and unrest grew, the Tormists rebelled under Torm I, beginning a long and bloody civil war. The war ended when the Tormists killed the then-king of Caruvis. The king's successor recognized Torm as a territory that was separate from Caruvis. As part of the peace treaty, Caruvis surrendered half of the Renascentia Arcanum to Torm.

The monarchy destabilized quickly after this, leading to a string of weak and inept kings. After several different monarchs, the king was killed by his wife who named herself queen, and stabilized Caruvis, forming the new queendom of Regnis.
