Cultures

Athral Isle

Fantasy England, circa 1400, but not so much with the gunpowder. This is where the campaign begins. In this era, Athral Isle is the most advanced nation of the known world, but they lack the manpower to conquer territories on the continent. Reversals over the past century have given the other nations time to close the gap, however.

Principalities of Verdien

Fantasy Holy Roman Empire, circa 1400.

Tarsikka

Transylvania. The people of this country are famed for their xenophobia, particularly the upper nobility. The lords of this land are also famous for wielding silver swords.

Akathia

Fantasy Arabia, straight out of Arabian Nights. In one notable change, slavery is outlawed here. 

Empire of Cranes

Romance of the Three Kingdoms-era China.

Gaunt

A land of raiders, north of the Principalities.

Oresund

Even farther north than Gaunt, Oresund's existence is little more than a rumor to most.
