Canoarus

It's been 54 years since the Great War, tensions are bubbling, and the prospect of compromise between nations is becoming bleak. The defeat of Eakrotus at the Battle of Icarus drove their population from the great and spacious continent of Khames to the eastern island-continent of Apoteosi; giving the Qaerean Empire a sense of world supremacy. The Eakrotusans, accepting their fate, have taken on the identity of a diplomatic nation, hoping to one day reunite the nations of Canoarus as one empire to advance the species under the same title. However, the Qaereans, embracing their victory and sense of superiority, continue to expand their territory from the whole continent of Khames to the deserts and savannahs of Amatius, causing weary among those who survived to see the Great War. Through the eyes of those old souls, there is a betrayal to the peace treaty taking place.   The world is in a state of cold war. There is a feeling of dread among the ordinary population of both nations. From the slave provinces and military archipelagos of the Qaerean Empire, to the docile courts and public counsels of Eakrotus, all sense that there is a probability of a second Great War. They do not question or debate this, they question the survival of the human race once this event begins. There is whispers that the Qaereans have engineered fantastical and destructive technology capable of scorching the planet into ash; but even with this, the Eakrotusans believe there may be another chance of compromise. Although, that vision but a dream to most.   The glue that currently holds the world together, as it is philosophized by the Eakrotus philosophi, is the long ago friendship and veteran statuses of the Emperor of the Qaereans, the great Khamani, Titus Demethius, and the First Philosophius of Eakrotus, Volusian Continius. However, these two grow old, and the glue has weakened. Both are near their respective deaths, and once the events happen, no one knows who will take power, and what they will do. And even then, the two know they must not leave this world without making a significant mark. Whether it be peace, or war.
