[i]The Legions of Karth, the Stonebloods, and the Island-kin; One Throne.[/i][/center]

For centuries, the Legionaires of Karth have controlled the known world, and all that lies in the cradle of the Aegean Sea. The Aegean Throne in Ad Antium, a great seat made of dazzling, sea-green jade, has long stood as the symbol of ruling power in the realm; he who sits on the Aegean Throne commands all that man has ever known. Emperor Lanius Tiber, the Great Conquerer, united the realm under the banner of the Legionnare, in the Great Aegean War of Conquest, and he would create an Empire that would last some 500 years. Before Lanius, the Legions of Karth, the Stonebloods of the Reach, and the Island-kin of Illyria fought a perpetual war, with many great commanders and many great armies fallen on the battlefield, carrion for the crows, ground to nothing by the passing of time. But the Great Lanius Tiber would unite the realm under his fist, and create the greatest lasting dynasty the Aegean had ever seen.

Lanius Tiber snuck his armies through the Azure Mountains that had protected the Stonebloods for years by way of the Azure Pass, and his armies poured into the Reach, levelling an ill-prepared Stoneblood defensive. Spies of the Empire snuck into the docks of Wavemarch at night and burned the Island-kin fleet to the ground; Emperor Lanius' great armada sailed into the defenseless Illyrian Isles unopposed, and his men plundered the countryside and burned Wavemarch to the ground. When the smoke cleared, the Aegean knew it had met it's conqueror, and it had fought itself tired. There would be no counter-offensive, there would be no retribution, as had happened so many times before. There would be peace, something the Aegean had never known. Be it as it may, five hundred years have past, but the Island-kin have not forgotten the way Wavemarch burned, the way their woman were raped, the way their temples were ransacked; the men of the Reach and the Stonebloods have not forgotten the way their ancestors were slaughtered on the pike, their sons and daughters conscripted into the Legions. 

The Great Aegean Conquest was 500 years ago, and still, the memory of what happened does not fade. Ever since, there has been peace between the three Kingdoms, but of course, at a cost. The Empire of Karth have levied excessive taxation upon the subjugated kingdoms, and as one might expect, five hundred years of taxation have stretched patience thin. Upon the ending of the Great War, the Islands north of the Sea of the Lost Souls were taken from the Island-kin, renamed the Emperors of the Islands Peace, and consolidated into the Empire of Karth. Likewise, the western most lands of the Reach, up to Chokecherry Hill, were stripped from the Stonebloods, and have become homogenized into the Empire. Both have become contentious sore points for the two Kingdoms, rallying cries to fuel the coming war effort, to reclaim their ancestral lands that were taken from them, to restore the nations to the order that once was. 

War has begun again between the Three Kingdoms, and the men of Illyria and the Reach want their lands back; but they also want more. The last Great War was decided by shrewd tactical domination, but now, many believe, even know, that this next one will be decided by Champions. These great warriors have answered the call of their nations, and are ready to serve their sigil to their last dying breath; it is these men who will decide the fate of the Aegean. All eyes turn to the Aegean Throne, as they once had some 500 years ago; these eyes hunger for the power it holds, for the right to create their own dynasty, their own mark on history—and they will not rest easy until the dust has settled, the bannermen lay face-down in the grave, and the Aegean Throne is theirs. The Aegean Throne awaits.
