Alteran, a superpower nation unlike the world has ever witnessed. Proper, rule-following, like a civilized nation should be.

Magda, a territory threatening to rival Alteran in both might and colonization of the New World. Supreme Leader Fargrave (spit), ever a constant presence at the High King's heel.

Harri'ar, natives of the New World, standing a full head taller than the average civilized man. Mere beasts in a human-shaped body.

The old ways are dying; the new are upon us.
