It is the dawn of the age of discovery. The technological advancement in Theran shipbuilding sees the invention of the twin-hull ship, great catamarans that are able to sail west over the sunken continent and reach the shores of the New World: Narwa.

While Thera has long been a Republic overflowing with bureaucracy, the Theran Navy is strongly run under the Joint Admiralty and have begun to set up outposts on the shores of the New World. There is much talk of gold and diamond riches, unclaimed and uncontested in these new lands.

The Empire of Remortal once united in solidarity under the Anjaic Faith is stirring from their isolationism, and the Faith itself has split into a schism for the second time, weakening the bond between its many autonomous Dukes and Free Cities.

While the Theran Navy had discovered Narwa and begun construction of outposts, the powerful Free Merchants Company in Feiran are beginning to join in, claiming swaths of land in the New World in attempt to capitalise on the mineral abundance found there. Religious persecution and revolutionary spirit has led many Remortans, Feirani and even common Therans to attempt to join the new mining and expeditionary colonies forming under the Free Company, causing conflict between them and the Theran Navy.

Feiran itself is mostly progressive, sprawling cities with trade and prosperity being the forefront of their agenda although have no real power as a national entity.

While Thera is constitutionally secular, most citizens still follow the Anjaic faith although not to extremes in Remortal. The Schism is non-violent at the moment, but the war of words and interpretations of the Anjai is causing more and more disruption to the long held traditions of the faith.

Several Dukes of Remortal have started to pave the way to seceding from the Empire and abandoning their Theocratic ways for a more Democratic system, even agreeing to abdicate from their own positions of nobility to give power to the people. This has not only caused concern for the higher echelons of Remortan politics fearing the collapse of the Empire, but even for the Theran government who are disturbed by the prospect of change in the status quo and threats to the establishment.

Apart from the Serene Republic of Point Pina, the rest of Gortan is still in political instability dating back to the Fables. The Knighthood Chapters that once brought peace to their land are now severely underfunded, with most of the Chapters manpower having been brought back to Remortal to keep the peace in the homeland.

Asran to the east is united under a constitutional monarchy and there is talk their sailors have also found a route to a New World to their east, could this be the other side of Narwa?

The Empire of Remortal has sent an Ambassador to Sorte, to discuss a treaty with Thera and promise aid to each other in the face of this new revolutionary air…
