As the empire of Rolmia plunges into civil war following the death of the emperor , his three ambitious sons vie for the throne.

The Sultanate of Azania, ever the opportunist, sees a chance to expand its domain and influence , while to the south, neighboring principalities breathe a sigh of relief as the once-dominant giant stumbles and falters. In the sea, the confederation of the Free Isle finds their chance to restore their old maritime power , denied to them by an empire that is now crumbling beneath itself , lacking the strenght to stop them.

Changes comes and goes(1)

The island of Harmway had undergone a dramatic transformation over the past two decades under Imperial rule. Once a barren, wind-swept outpost in the Confederation's sphere of influence, it had served little more than as a military base. Back then, Harmway was a place for weary naval crews to dock, fill their casks with fresh water, and make hasty repairs before resuming their journeys across the vast seas to more raiding. 

However, when the Empire extended its reach over the island, everything changed.

Now, Harmway had blossomed into a bustling hub of commerce, one of the most vital trade islands in the region. What had once been little more than a military garrison and rocky shores had been transformed by Imperial architects and traders into a thriving port city. Stone docks stretched out into the sea, wide enough to accommodate the growing numbers of merchant ships that arrived daily.
