Ascalon

80th of Moordane, 3000 AoA

Three thousand years since the Divine Calamity, a number of kingdoms gather strength and continue to establish themselves across the continent of Ascalon. The western kingdoms hold a pact of non-aggression and trade, signed one thousand years ago called the Ascalon Accord. The nations that live under the accord are The Dominion of Ombersan, the Kingdom of Sammania, the Republic of Valair, The Theocratic City of Farsolum, and the Kingdom of Edoan.   The Darkhan Steppes and the southern seas are dominated by different warring states, chiefdoms, and sellsword armies. The Five western Kingdoms defend their own borders, but before the Accord, the different nations had come to the aid of the others in times of war and external threat. The Five Kingdoms seek stability and trade. The Outlying powers seek power and plunder.   The neutral river hub city of Deephaven sits in the centre of the Five Kingdoms, all trade that flows throughout mainland Ascalon moves through Deephaven. Each nation of the Accord has signed treaties with the rulers of Deephaven, guaranteeing their sovereignty so long as trade goes undisturbed.
