[!] This paper would be put in every nation, every settlement 47: Introduction Author: Peralien M. The year is 47, second age. On the now ruined isle of Almaris. Many attempts have been made to leave this dreaded isle. But all has been futile. Famine is slowly raising tensions between all that is left, pieces of what were glorious, self-governing nations. Here however, on this very day, marks the beginning of 47. Where everyone expects the worst. But, here. It may be different. But, there are only 5 remaining nations in this cursed isle of hell. Elven Confederacy The Elven Confederacy was formed between Haelun’or and Elvenesse, who put behind their differences to protect themselves against the looming threat. While both cities have different governments, they have close relations with each other, as they can only trust their own race. Looking at the surface of their nation, they look relatively untouched by the famine crisis that other nations have experienced. But this is only thanks to Elvenesse's grim policy that was introduced in the year 43, all Halflings who can walk and hold a hoe, must work in the fields, to supply the population of both Elvenesse and Haelun’or. This has turned the Halflings, once a peaceful village-folk living in an enclave gifted by the Wood Elves, into a slave population. Holy Orenian Imperium The Holy Orenian Imperium, a wide human nation. The state was created as the result of the Holy Orenian Empire and the settlement of Luciensberg forming a personal union. With the current Emperor being what could be quoted by even his close friends as a ‘old insane fool.’ Given that the Imperial State Army wasn’t currently in a food shortage, they would have invaded the Elven Confederacy, as it is their new enemy, having utterly destroyed Norland beyond repair in the 10th Nordling War. They see the Halfling Farmers as an opportunity to feed their own people. While the noble class in the HOI is quite pleased, the working class, being paid the lowest in all of Almaris, and working the longest, is in a practical state of slavery. This forms an even greater divide between the Nobles and the working class. With a book written by a mysterious miner titled ‘The Workers Declaration’ which proposed a state where the people own the property, and where everyone is equal, no-matter their faith, sexuality, and ethnicity. Northern States The Northern States, a union formed between Haense and Norland. Norland originally proposed the idea, after brutally losing the 10th and hopefully final Nordling War. With Haense eventually obliged. Comparing the Workers Rights from the Northern States and the HOI, the miners and lumberjacks of the Northern States are much more happy, with no urgent need for reform in laws. But still, they as well like most, lack the farmland to produce enough food. But one positive is that they do not have to worry about the harassment of the HOI, as they see no value in what is deemed ‘two cities in snow.’ But, even they still face clashes periodically from the HOI, typically with demands of most of the food they have. But, the HOI has their justifications, as they believe it’s better for them to survive instead of people in the snow. National Front of New Talons Perhaps considered even darker than the Holy Orenian Imperium. As the previous leader, Vivian Maelstorm, has been overthrown by an unstable elf who claims to be the direct descendent of the now defunct Renelian Bloodline. Hoping to use this as leverage to support their claims. And with them, they have brought what can be described as the pure hell of an army. The National Talons Army (NTA) is a demonic force. Using anything they can to suppress the people. And at some points, introducing Martial Law and introducing Curfews, in an attempt to curb the growing Resistance, darkly, this has worked. Commonwealth of Yong Ping Thankfully, Yong Ping has been relatively untouched. With quality of life actually improving. Thanks to one thing that others have neglected. Rice, they have discovered how useful it can be to prevent famine, It can grow easily, and in plentiful amounts. And their government has even grown more Democratic over the years. This can be considered the last place in all of Almaris where peace has survived. Such a shame that the path to find it has eroded over the two decades. Restricting people wishing to live there heavily. Such a shame that the only place considered to be free is near impossible to get to. Remains of Sutica Unlike the other nations, which have survived to some degree. Sutica has completely shattered under the pressure. And civil-war ensued. Here, there are 3 sides in this war. Sutican Liberation Front, a Military force established by Mika Uialben, to re-establish what was once Sutica. Sutican National Front, a force established by a dark-haired human with hopes to turn Sutica into what could be considered a ‘copied version of what is Talons.’ And then, the Osanoran Kingdom, which has not formally made any attacks against the other two, as their goal is just to survive, but attacks from an external force is disrupting that. As the Osanorans have made an enemy.
