Duchy of Grent
The Duchy of Grent is a small, independent city state located on the Grent Delta west of Ossa. The city itself is divided by countless channels and canals into several hundred island-districts of various sizes. In an incredible feat of master engineering, levies and dikes control the flow of the Tien River into the delta.
Sometimes called Ossa's twin city, Grent and Ossa are only a few miles apart with their suburbs melding into one another. Grent and Ossa have a long history of trade disputes and minor political contention. Since Ossa relies on Grent for shipping, it has built a massive merchant fleet. The Duchy is ruled by the Duke of Grent, who seems to take advantage of Ossa by bribing Ossan officials or secretly organizing their assassinations.
Grent's official colors are orange and white, and the Grent military has twenty thousand troops.
STORY
After a long-strained relationship exacerbated by the Duke of Grent's political meddling, Ossa declares war on Grent when Grent agent Espenzi Darfoor is caught after murdering Adriana Grappo. Ossan forces immediately invade the Grent border, setting up checkpoints and capturing Grent refugees to serve in their labor camps and in the Ossan Navy. The Duke of Grent sends his family to the Glass Isles to escape the war and hires the infamous Kerite's Drakes mercenary company to help him win. When Kissandra Vorcien uncovers that the Glass Knife is actually responsible for Adriana's murder, an organization who also has supporters amongst the Ossan Inner Assembly itself, she realizes the war is not as political as it was publicized but must have some darker motives.
