Tenacity

With long-standing struggles between the nations of the old-world, the discovery of new lands abroad opened up many opportunities for a fresh start - too many to be ignored.

However, conflicts big and small rage about how these lands and resources should be used, who should own them, and whose authority even exists in these parts.
