Elastria

Recently discovered land Far East of the main continent of Elastria brings with it the promise of powerful magical artifacts that could change the geopolitical landscape of Elastria.   The Kulta Empire (the golden empire) has been on the brink of loosing its grip on its colonies in Elestria and sees this new land as an opportunity to strengthen its grasp on their colonies and colonize new land.   The Principalities of Geboren have recently gained their independence but if they want to keep it they will need to have powerful weapons to protect them from the nations surrounding them.   The Dacia Republic is in chaos, the people of Dacia have killed the royal family and any noble sympathetic to the royals. A revolution born out of desperation and the wish for equality unfortunately led to a massacre and a reign of terror. Anyone could be a suspect of working for the loyalist (those looking to reinstate the monarchy). The only thing that stopped this was the sudden attack by the Kulta Empire. Many great Dacian Generals rose and fended of the invasion, unifying the reborn nation and deeply shaming the Empire.   The Commonwealth  one of the few democracies in Elastria.   The Independent City of Ollscoile is a beacon of knowledge. Located in the border between the Dacia Republic and the Principalities of Geboren. It is ruled by a council of two nobles, two guild leaders, and the Ruhdna (leader) of the University. The city has been able to maintain its independence and fend of invaders. Throughout the years they have maintained a lead in technological advancements due to the University.     Type of setting: colonial period (think British colonies before the American Revolution with magic). Slightly steampunky. Magic is common but not widespread. Individuals identify more with their nations than their race. At the moment there is a fragile peace between all the nations but the discovery of this new land might lead to conflict to intensify.     Notes: need to home-brew or find good colonial style rifles (1500s, they are expensive and not as useful) and weapons to add to the campaign. Need to be on the level of swords and other such weapons to keep it balanced. Cannons are used in sieges and large scale battles.
