To the east there is the Kroven Dynasty, and to the west, the Lorean Empire. For a long time, the two nations - the two greatest and largest in the world - were actually wonderful allies. That hasn't lasted to this point. Lately, abundances of resources have turned up in the Driahn Peaks in the frigid southern lands. Very rare, very valuable resources. Rare creatures to hunt, rare minerals to mine, and of course, plenty of untamed space to occupy. Guess who the top two contenders who want these things are?
The respective rulers of the Kroven Dynasty and Lorean Empire - King Maral Kroven and Emperor Marcus Lorea - have tried to compromise with one another on the matter of the Driahn Peaks and the invaluable resources within, but all attempts so far have fallen short of successful. Tensions and hostilities have increased in the months since, and the two reigning superpowers of the world are now on the verge of war with one another. All the while, the many smaller kingdoms between the two prepare themselves to either ally with whoever lives closer in case a war starts, or sneak into the Peaks themselves and take the resources for themselves amidst the tensions.
The scape and scope of the land is nothing to scoff at; it's a big world out there. The large ocean surrounding the one major landmass and several large islands is abundant with food in the form of fish, and the many lands and sights between the freezing Driahn Peaks in the south and the abandoned Isle of Graves in the north all have their own cultures, stories, and problems as well. The world of Aephere is a big place, enough so that only one who devoted their entire life to exploring and seeing it all would ever be able to hope to see it all. And then there's you.
Wherever you're from, you've found yourself in a currently-neutral small island kingdom resting on a landlocked sea known as Sothia. Sothia is a small port town surrounded by water supplied by a channel running south from the northernmost centre point of land. This town is the port city to be at. Sothia is the centermost point on the continent, and is equally far from the Kroven Dynasty as from the Lorean Empire. Whether you travel east or west, to help or harm the kingdom you approach, there will be many choices to be made. Some may be better than others.
You stand in Sothia, going about your daily life you've created since you've arrived. The civil unrest is creating tension that is thick enough to slice with a knife. Some of the fair people in your now-hometown are siding with the Kroven Dynasty, yet others choose the Lorean Empire. You need to choose a side, or to abstain from siding with either. It's all your choice.
