Van Myr
A nation of fishermen and traders set on an atoll of rocky islands thrust into the spotlight of human history due to its distance from the Fall of Waxwing. The Kings of Van, once labelled with derision as Fisher Kings, now reap the praise of those they shelter - their holds clogged with desperate refugees waiting on the next harvest from the sea.
Structure
The King answers to the Council of Dukes who are capable of selecting one of their member as replacements when the previous King dies. Local citizens have great autonomy.
Public Agenda
The FIsher King has declared that no man will go hungry in Van Myr and has set every man of able body to fishing, while actively promoting the Exculpate through the construction of Colony Ships with wealthy citizens.
Assets
Van Myr holds the Western Expanse, formerly worthless islands now cherished for the lack of Ash that darkens them.
History
Van Myr was colonized shortly after the arrival of the Children of Egun and has been a tangled mess of political alliances, clans, and nascent dukedoms ever since. Never worth the cost of an invasion it suffered mostly from low-scale internal conflicts stemming from personal slights and vendettas.
In the 6th century the first of the Fisher Kings emerged, embracing the teachings of the Primus Valerian who sought the freedom of the seas from what he felt was the tyranny of the Children. The islands became a stronger member of the international order and with its embrace of the more far flung of the Children gained a reputation as a haven for misfits.
With Waxwing slain the Fisher King seeks to launch as many colony ships as possible while maintaining the fish yields long enough for humanity to return to the Discovered Lands.
