The County of Kozlowka is a feudal county under the rule of Count Sokół Aleksander Ledóvowski III. It maintains claims over the center of Sykrovia, in the Zlotovy Plains.
History[]
Founding[]
Upon Sokół Aleksander Ledóvowski III's arrival to Sykrovia via shipwreck, he quickly searched the nearby coastlines for fellow survivors, of the hundreds that came with him, only around 100 survived, and Sokół was the only Noble left alive.
He then reorganized the survivors into an operational group. He declared that he would lead them to glory, survival, and prosperity. They then went off into Sykrovia, looking for a new place to call home. When they stumbled into the Zlotovy Plains, and found the Seroki Lake, they knew they had found a new home, and declared Sokół Count of Kozlowka.
Reign of Sokół Aleksander Ledóvowski III (97x A.E. - 976 A.E.)[]
The Creation of the Voivode[]
Following this rapid expansion, Sokół Aleksander Ledóvowski III awarded Mindaugas Daumantas Wladyslaw Dominykas III the title of prince, and a small portion of the Zlotovy plains to be ruled personally by Mindaugas, known as the Principality of Arklysija. This was payment for the service Mindaugas had done for Sokół over the time of the creation and subsequent expansion of Kozlowka. However, due to this expansion it was not fit to refer to the overall nation as a simple county. Through this, The County Of Kozlowka was made into the Voivode Of Zykoszyn.
Culture[]
The Kozlowkan Culture revolves around 3 main things. The hierarchy of nobility, the honor of one's nation and self, and to always be honest. These derive from the state religion of Kozlowka, the Temple of Kroska.

Kozlowkan Heavy Cavalry
Kozlowkan Heavy Infantry
The Kozlowkan military derives its identity from the Stanislowian military, where House Ledóvowski is from. Due to the location of Kozlowka being in the Zlotovy Plains, the horse is the primary weapon of the Kozlowkan war machine.
Nobility is always utilized as the heavy cavalry force, focused more on hammer and anvil charges and horseback combat.
The heavy infantry is made up of veteran soldiers, or peasants who managed to rise up the economic ladder to afford their own plate armor.
Archers and peasant levy forces make up the final parts of the Kozlowkan army. These soldiers are lightly armored and are more utilized to trap enemies in positions where the heavy cavalry can do devastating damage.
