Aldric

Intro In Serassia, seven nations share a history of a 200-year war and a 300-year dictatorship under Vraethis, followed by recovery. Asharé, with snowy climates and mountains, provided havens during the war. Vraethis's rule led to economic hardship, but recovery focused on sustainable mining and trade. Ravia, with rocky terrain and forests, values craftsmanship. Part of the coalition during the war, it was defeated and its artisan culture suffered under the dictatorship. Recovery revitalized sustainable practices. Nevernia, with deserts and oases, thrives on trade and storytelling. Neutral during the war, it faced tariffs under Vraethis. Recovery reclaimed cultural heritage and trade independence. Talloria, amidst rainforests, focuses on herbal medicine and agriculture. Initially aligned with Vraethis, it faced quotas during the dictatorship, but recovery revived its practices. Marétah, a land of volcanoes, is steeped in ritual. It attempted neutrality but was coerced for resources. Recovery focused on cultural revival. Delonsbia, with its meadows and lakes, values harmony with nature. A patriarchy, it supported the coalition during the war. Under Vraethis, resources were extracted and traditions suppressed. Recovery restored its heritage. King Aric Currow arranged a political marriage for his daughter to Emperor Aldric of Vraethis, strengthening Delonsbia but challenging his daughter. Vraethis, enshrouded in mystery, rose to power with foreign allies, imposing a 300-year dictatorship and extracting resources. Its true nature remains concealed, with whispers of horrors. Emperor Aldric, known for his intellect, is a respected yet feared leader, shaping Vraethis's destiny and its relations with other nations. His strategic alliances are pivotal in maintaining the delicate balance of power. The future of Vraethis hinges on its ability to navigate the complex web of politics. The land's secrets hold untold stories, waiting to be revealed.
