Eleven Powers

"We elevate. Flumina Ceili!"

Britannia runs on Etherium, and treats raising up lesser nations as a duty. The people who die for it are rarely Britannian.

"They took our north. They thought that was the part that mattered."

Two hundred years ago Frysia was the center of the continent. Now it is a country split three ways, occupied, and at war with itself over how to survi...

"A phoenix never stops. A phoenix always rises."

Frysia's former vassal, raised and armed by Britannia. Arcadians run the occupation with the energy of a people proving they will never kneel again.

"Everything grows in Aurelia. The Tree decides what it shows you."

The richest soil on the planet, a Tree with a heartbeat, and an army that broke Taria in open war. Quieter than the map suggests, and more dangerous.

"Nobody conquers Drakmoor. Nobody tries twice."

A highland nation bonded to its dragons, ruled by rider clans, built inside a volcanic crater. The first rider made a deal. Drakmoor is still paying i...

"We hold the door."

The nation north of Frysia, across a river that freezes into a border crossing every winter. Icegaard still calls Frysians brothers. It is the only na...

"No god. No relic. Only method."

The one great power that claims pure engineering. Cheated on the Ijzerberg deal, Almania now pays Frysian crews to take what Britannia won't share.

"The stones are not the oldest things on this planet."

A sea power in the far south, rich in Etherium, too strong to conquer and too divided to conquer anyone. Its founder sealed something at the bottom of...

"Pray the music never stops."

Volcanic islands turned to gardens, golden temples, a festival calendar that never breaks. A free nation, and the Conclave is lying about why it stays...

"Nothing comes up from below level four."

A vast nation on its own continent, unstable, brutal to its royals, broken at Urartu by Aurelian STARs. Half its people are refugees somewhere else.

"Not yet."

A mountain nation around a lake the size of a sea, ruled from inside the rock by the Delvers, a short and long lived people who lend to empires and ne...

"What is taken from the pack is owed to the pack."

The Ulvkin heartland. Pack law, nothing written, memory kept by elders. Britannia took something from them once, and the packs have started moving sou...

"We swore to nobody. Nobody is coming."

Iron highlands run by warlords who owe allegiance to no one. Their neutrality is the only thing keeping them alive, and it is bleeding them.

"The plains feed everyone. Icara decides who eats first."

Cold flat plains east of Nordmark and Almania. The grain vault of the north, where trader and spy are the same profession.

"The river was here first."

Fertile river valleys in the far south that feed the occupiers and hold the only road to the Volaris continent. Whoever holds Veldom holds the food an...

"Every flag has a price. Most of them have paid it."

A port nation that rents its loyalty by the season. Icara's grain leaves through Colara's docks and reaches the occupiers, and the two sister nations...

"They climbed. We stayed."

A mountain nation south of Arcadia where the old stories say the first stone bearers lived. Britannia took a piece of it three years ago and Olympians...

"No two charts agree. That is on purpose."

Warm islands far south of Britannia, a holiday coast with Etherium under it. Britannia runs the mines, the islanders run everything the mines don't se...

"We keep the record."

A large cold island in the northeast, secluded, everyone related. Stratos keeps the only complete record of the sky currents Britannia's fleet depends...
