Nohr

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

Profile
Nohr is a militaristic nation styled to resemble European kingdoms. The kingdom was founded by the humans loyal to the Dusk Dragon, who granted them land and its blood so they can harness the Dragon's Vein. It is located west of Hoshido.

A child was born into the royal family of the neighboring Hoshido kingdom. At sometime after their birth, they were kidnapped by the Nohr royal family for unknown reasons. At around the same time, Azura, a princess of Nohr, was kidnapped by the Hoshido.

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.

Nohr has a large amount of horses and wyverns, as the classes relating to them (such as the Wyvern Lord) are exclusive to Nohr only.

Etymology
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.
