It has been many years since the great war ended. Many years of peace and prosperity has given everyone a sense of hope and security. Were bitter battles were once waged now hold festivals between old enemies. One look at the world and you would say it is a utopia, with the exception of a few pirates, raiders and other outlaws. Many of the lesser kingdoms have disbanded their armies in favor of guards and have instead turned their focus on luxuries and the little things in life.
Out of the turmoil came three powerful kingdoms, Vecar, Kuthen, and Commora. Each one claimed lesser kingdoms as their protectorates in exchange for trade and other deals. Though there are other kingdoms out there most do not interfere with conflicts between the three.
Like so many happy stories before, things change, King Xavier Shaw, King of Vecar and his Queen Johanna were killed leaving their daughter to some day take the throne. This was a few years ago and it is now time for the young Princess to take her place on the throne. But to do so and to bring the necessary strength back to her kingdom, she must merry a crown prince. Currently the two she has to choose from are the prince of Kuthen, whose father has been aggressively talk about lending aid to Vecar, till the queen is really ready to lead. As these talks happen more and more raids happen across the Vecaren lands. Or the prince of Commora, whose people have for the most part been good neighbors. Even after the few conflicts between the kingdoms, the people of Vecar and Commora have always found their way back to peace and friendship. Fortanatly for the young soon to be Queen, her father had already arrange a marriage to the prince of Commora. But what secrets lie hidden behind the smiles, what dangers hid behind ever handshake, bow and curtsy.
After spending the last few years in hiding for her protection young princess has meets up with her entourage on her way to the capital of Commora.

Kingdom of Vecar:

The lands here are some of the roughest yet beautiful. The wilds are home to plenty of game, the best wild game, for those who are brave enough to face harsh weather and terrain along with the most dangerous predators. The people who thrive in these harsh conditions are the hardiest, one a tribal people now stand united. They relied on more guerilla style combat, using their knowledge of nature to out smart their enemy. They have a standing army, but their focus is on small mobile units of light Calvary and light infantry to outmaneuver the enemy or for hit and run. Due to their tribal roots, family, loyalty and duty are the three most important parts of their society.

King Xavier took the throne near the end of the last great war when his father, due to injuries and age, stepped down. Within his first year he married Johanna and within months they gave birth to a daughter. Two years later the war ended with the treaty being signed in the Great Hall in Commora. Four years ago well visiting a village a large group of raiders attacked. The kings guard held fast as their escape route was quickly cut off. They were holding well and about to make a push when the villagers, who turned out to be raiders that sacked the village two days ago, attacked. This caught the guards by surprise, giving the attackers just enough of an opening to kill the King and Queen before the guards could react.

Kingdom of Kuthen:

Kuthen is a kingdom of plains, with a few scattered hills. Fair amount of game, but the people here focus more on the large farms that span the great open plains. Were Vecar focus on small mobile units, the Armies of Kuthen focus on a more conventional arm with their strength resting with their heavy cavalry that dominates the vast open kingdom. Besides the plains, the biggest draw to Kuthen are the gardens, massive gardens tended to by master gardeners. As they are a militaristic people, honor, courage, commitment and duty are key to the Kuthen people.

King Ivan Holt rules with an iron fist as did his fathers before him. It was Ivan's father who started the war against the Vecaren. His father died a few days after the treaty was signed. Now Ivan has been offering his aid to the Vecaren and their fight against the raiders, who they say have also attacked them. He also says that they have pushed the raiders out of their lands and would be happy to do the same in Vecar... for a price.

Kingdom of Commora:

Commora is probably the single most naturally beautiful kingdom, white sandy beaches with crystal clear waters. Gently rolling hills and the river lands, a place with many water ways, ranging from mountain runoffs to massive rivers. The river lands and the rolling hills are spotted with farms and more importantly... wineries, Commora has the best wines. Not a big of a military power as Kuthen but still has a very strong army that instead of cavalry, swordsmen or Spec Ops, focuses on archery. The people of Commora are known as the "Host Kingdom", Hospitality, family, honor make them the greatest host, from the poorest peasant to the royal family.

The former king of Commora managed to keep his people mostly neutral in the last war, thou some battles did take place on their land. They treated any injured the found and hosted the peace talks that ended with the signing of the treaty.
