Nohr

Nohr (暗夜王国 Anya Okoku lit. Anya Kingdom in the Japanese version) is the glory-seeking nation in Fire Emblem if.

Profile
Nohr is a militaristic nation styled to resemble European kingdoms. A child was born into the royal family of neighboring kingdom of Hoshido. At sometime after their birth, they were kidnapped by the Nohr royal family for unknown reasons. Aqua, a princess of Nohr, was kidnapped by Hoshido at the same time.

In contrast to the peaceful Hoshido, Nohr is subject to terrible weather conditions, leading to poor crop yields and a lack of law and order. In order to expand Nohr’s influence, King Garon orders his children to invade Hoshido.

Anya literally means Dark Night in Japanese.

Nohr appears to be a deformation of the french word Noir meaning Black. This refers back to Nohr's other name, the black Kingdom.
