	Relative stability is the status quo of the world, the three great empires unified in an alliance against a common threat. The midland and greatest power known as the militarist Onokrin Empire has consolidated power between the southern egalitarian Warren Federation and the island shogunate of the Steel Legion to fend off the mutual enemy of the Blood Rose Pact, vile and twisted elves on the southern fringes of the world hell bent on slaughtering any who will not submit to them. Though the war has been on going for decades the world has peace and stability beyond the front lines where conflict ebbs and wanes every month. Across this storied and varied realm many races and factions work in unity. Cities, towns, and villages dot the landscape of a hostile and dangerous world, where even trained soldiers are loathe to leave the safety of the fortified walls and batteries serving to keep vicious magical creatures and other potential dangers.

Cities, towns, and villages dot the landscape of a hostile and dangerous world, where even trained soldiers are loathe to leave the safety of the fortified walls and batteries serving to keep away vicious magical creatures and other potential dangers.

	The sprawling city states of the Onokrin Empire are home to the humans, orcs, ogres, and goblins who make up the true mobilization and logistical efforts of the on-going war. Lead by the Emperor Lucius Aratus and his appointed oligarchs known as Lords the Onokrin is an immense power house of a faction and considered the strongest of the three empires. The ~~empire~~ is the current leading polity on rune magic and technology, having the advantage of an extensive network of railroads facilitating trade between their allies. ~~Yet the empire~~ is far from ~~an empire of~~ authoritarian brutalism one would expect from a militarist monarchy~~, it~~ is a center of trade and culture, with citizens caring deeply for the expression of art, culture, and individual freedom. ~~Though~~ towns and cities are fiefdoms ruled by lords, men and women of legendary skills and talents~~, the~~ average citizen is highly free to pursue their own aims thanks to a robust and effective system of laws. The current ~~emperor~~, Lucius, maintains a clear focus between supporting the ongoing war and ensuring quality of life for those maintaining support. All is not perfect within the ~~empire~~, however, as while the local ~~lords~~ can be considered people of higher moral character in general, the nobles that surround them are little more than craven and corrupt collections of coat-tail hangers whom are tolerated for their uses as administrators and clerks. The empire chaffs under the corruption rife within its noble ranks, with the law only managing a single step ahead.

	The underground mountain bunkers of the Warren Federation are massive cities of life, three major holds that contain the three races of the original ~~federation~~ accord. The hulking and physically tall ~~lagus~~, the diminutive and industrious ~~kobolds~~, and the wily and clever ~~rodentfolk~~. These three races came to a peaceful accord long ago, forging a bastion of thriving commerce, industry, and magical research. Where the ~~empire~~ can be considered a militaristic empire, the ~~federation~~ can be easily thought of as egalitarian, its realms largely based on democratic ideals. Kobolds run most of the industries, from factories to individual business and services, exporting goods through the ~~rodentfolk~~ who maintain labyrinthine and complex trade routes through the use of caravans, trains, and networks of runners. Overseeing the administration and enforcement of laws and government are the lagus, whose natural psionic ability make them skilled both in the realms of peace keeping and in maintaining a cohesive democracy. ~~Yet the federation~~ faces its own challenges, down the mountains and to its southern borders is the front line of the ongoing war, held together by the unified front of the three ~~empires~~ are miles upon miles of continent spanning trenches filled with soldiers, guns, magi-tech artillery, and commanders coordinating a decade spanning defense. Only once have the ~~elves~~ ever breached the line, but the single time was enough to leave many living in fear, even behind the wall of guns and mortar that protect them.

	Finally, the last polity, the Steel Legion hailing from its island paradise where the minotaur and deerfolk reside. The Steel Legion is an aloof and often mysterious faction, lead by the ~~shogun~~ Hayta and his ~~daiymo~~ who rule with an iron fist. Among the lands of the Steel Legion only the minotaurs are considered to be true citizens, the deerfolk little more than a race of serfs whom toil beneath their masters for protection and governorship. A barbaric policy to many, however the Steel Legion is the only realm in which one may walk freely in the wilds without fear of predators, the minotaurs ~~had~~ long since slain all who would threaten the stability of their nation and are unified under a single banner. This attitude of supremacy extends beyond their borders to the sea, with Steel Legion ships the best in the world, crewed by merchants and ~~samurai~~ armed to the teeth with slow firing but powerful guns used to fell sea-born ~~kaiju~~. Great and mighty beasts are hunted for wealth and sport, their parts hacked off and sold for magical reagents and use in complex networks of commerce. The Steel Legion controls the sea, forgoing direct aid to its allies to ensure relative peace among the waters of the world.
