A NEW WORLD

The state of the world in 433 NA

It has been nearly 100 years since the fall of the Saelic Empire and various powers have arisen to take its place and seize a piece of the empire's former glory. The Kingdom of Thipamny in Northern Dyonia, led by King Clordus, has forged a sizable hegemony as it seeks to dominate its southern neighbors. Still, the King is young and has not ruled long and many worry his ambitions will be his downfall. South of Thipamny, the Kingdom of Drucia has been split in two since the death of King Odfulred, his sons, Maxtian and Leofold, each claiming half of his realm for themselves. They co-exist in an uneasy peace, both paranoid that the other is plotting their doom. South of East Drucia is the Kingdom of Lemeria led by its young Queen Nerid who has found herself overlord of her kingdom after the sudden death of her heirless father. She faces threats from all sides internal and external as she attempts to consolidate her power. To the west of Lermia, the Kingdom of Hurstia controls the southern peninsula of Dyonia, ruled by the weak King Bazrathic. Hurstia is in dire straits. Famine, growing rebellions, and a bankrupt crown mean it likely won't be long until this small realm is subjugated by a larger entity.

In the northern continent of Luria, the Kingdom Thraltia is amassing wealth through looting and raiding the unorganized tribes in eastern Dyonia. It waits for its moment to make its legacy. Meanwhile, on the land called Cane, the Cittish peoples have built an enormous kingdom spanning half the continent composed of autonomous vassals loosely united by one man, King Daethlan 'the Magnificent'. While ostensibly united for mutual protection against the northern hordes, these domains war with each other continuously and Daethlan is struggling to keep his realm together. North of Cytchland, King Edbert of the Kingdom of Crathe has become his southern neighbor's first significant rival as he threatens to disrupt Cytchland's dominance of Cane. Still, he has he own troubles as the breakaway Kingdom of the Kadenals threatens to shake the integrity and authority of his throne.
