Mrimos Heleso

The industrial revolution is in full swing on the great continent, word of great smoke and fire breathing inventions make their way west from the Sunrise side of the great ocean, and the eastern island kingdom of Bran. In the West, trouble and discords mount as the Celestial Empire begins to buckle and collapse at the end of a period of isolation that saw the lands from Noon and even into the very Dusk claimed as the nation's heartland fracture off and gain independence from an apathetic court. The small island kingdom of Tsuru sees their chance to finally shine and as their country begins to unify with the strength of Sunrise weaponry to challenge the old magics of the hold out clans. A new constitution is touted as the way forward, but many are skeptical of the supposed equality of the new document when it is backed mostly by the generals of the newly forming national army. Isolated (at least for the moment) from all the great shifts, is the small island chain that encompasses the kingdom of Iolani, at the very center of the Noon sea. But it is easy to see that much has already changed and only more are to come. The previous King passed on with a legacy of both great cultural flourishing, and a fractious and violent foreign interests taking up root. Will the new Queen be able to address the worries of her people as continental businessmen continue to try to take more and more of her Kingdom's land? Or will the shadowy forces of espionage topple her throne? Deep beneath all of this, old and great magics begin to stir, called to waking as Fire sings their praises, and brings the scent of great offerings billowing across the waters on sooty factory smoke.
