In 20XX there was a time of great peace, but an event occurred that would shape the future of the Continent in unimaginable ways. There was a grand ruler of the land who began authorizing his subordinates to act on his behalf throughout his mighty Kingdom. Years passed, and these subordinates rose to prominence each with their own Kingdoms to rule now. Tensions run high as treaties are on the verge of collapsing and an all out war is imminent.
There are 5 kingdoms to align to.
