The world is in an age of recovery. Caused by the slave purges in the Blood Gulch mines, a rebellion broke out. From trade routes to almost losing on their own home island, the Middle Kingdom survived the wrath of the enslaved thanks to the use of forbidden arts of magic, and assassinations.

But it was only a pyrrhic victory. Both sides lost too many men to make any sort of real progress.
The Kingdom needed their soldiers to stop rebel outbreaks in the remaining cities...
And the rebels did not have the strength to attack the main island of the Middle Kingdom once more.

Therefore, a diplomatic solution was sought. The Kingdom granted the rebels their independence in front
of the world leaders.

On that day, the Republic and the Empire have been founded.
