Requiem Realm
This world has no pantheons, mythology, or magic systems. In their place are cultures, intricate histories, and political doctrines. Also included are original (meaning, written by the same author) species and military formations. Wouraiya is a series of island continents, where the economies of countries can determine wars just as easily as the blade. The decades of peace between three powerhouses nears its end. The Wliton Authority, the Kingdom of Keyrit, and the Rulwan Republic once lived in delicate balance as trade rivals. Wlito received a secret treaty of friendship from her neighbor Keyrit and a secret incursion from her neighbor Rulwa. The combined strength of two militaries swiftly routed the invasion. The newly formed alliance, the Doyog Pact, wiped the government of Rulwa from the map, despite a fierce resistance. The gentle hand of Keyrit guided Rulwa's former colonies while establishing her own. The iron fist of Wlito ruled Rulwa itself. Generations have passed since then, enough years for grandfathers to regale stories of national identity and eras of glory to their grandsons. The men and women of Rulwa grow restless under the Wliton jackboot, and some wonder whether they'd be better off ruling themselves. King Kalti IV will not hear much less grant the pleas of his citizens at home or abroad, and Keyrit has an increasingly troublesome time keeping the quiet.
