After centuries of national and civil wars across the continent, the main powers came together to create a separate administering authority to which each nation should turn.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUpon this background tapestry are woven the tales of individuals who will shape the future of the political and social dioramas of the world they live in.

The creeping tendrils of Eldar’s plans reach into every nation; every culture.
