Others deemed suffrciently rich with experiences would pass the gates and enter the palace city of the gods, there to spend eternity experiencing spiritual refinement. When an elven child is born, he or she might give rise to a new soul by the miracle of life, or alternately receive a reincarnated soul sent by Ayisla. Some claimed to be able to perceive these "older souls" looking into the eyes of a child and seeing the weight of his past.

Such old souls were thought to be particularly wise, intelligent, and charismatic. These children have not been born since the Rivening.

Highgate, in the west, is seen as a guardian of the Broken Coast. These cities and the other major Cygnaran towns are all vibrant urban centers conducting vital manufacturing work amid complex local politics.

Many boast pioneers in industry and scientific advancement as well as a number of prestigious universities. Yet with prosperity comes other dangers, and each city and major township is preyed upon by criminal communities seeking to exploit any opportunity. the Protectorate's hierarch was struck down by one of Cygnar's commanding warcasters. Their morale broken, the Sul-Menites withdrew and there has been a tense cessation in hostilities between the two cities. Massive garrisons in both cities stand ready to continue the conflict at the slightest provocation. Despite these threats, Cygnar is well defended. Many sav Cygnar's greatest asset is her advanced mechanika; indeed, the nation is unequalled in the synthesis of magic and science. Her advanced technology is no more evident then in her specialized military forces such as the fabled Stormblades and gun mages.

But even frontline infantry fie1d high-quality rifles and other ordnance and fight alongside some of the most sophisticated The civilized Cygnaran countryside with its lush farmlands is divided by several untamed regions, including the extensive rvarjacks ever designed. Cygnar's ability to manage the division of military resources between its armies has been Wyrmr,vall Mountains, the Gnarls, and the Fenn Swamp. Though the nation maintains several highways and rail lines, these wild areas remain inhospitable and are populated by savage key to its endurance. Each operates independently to confront various threats, one in the north, one in the east, and one in the southr,r'est, all supported by the reserves of the smaller Fourth Army. Similarly, the Royal Navy has divided its fleets betrveen theaters of operation. Cygnar's navy is peerless in its technological might and has become pivotal in preventing incursions from the sea.

humans, wild trollkin kriels, and all manner of predatory beasts. Travel between major cities can be risky, with occasional military patrols and overworked road wardens able to protect only the main roads and railways. In the past few years Cygnarans have seen the fall of their allies in Llael, the loss of the northern Thornrvood Forest to the encroaching Khadoran Empire, and years of turmoil in their capital and neighboring Su1 due to open warfare with the Protectorate. Cygnar remains on friendly terms with the nation of Ord but that kingdom's sovereign has proven reluctant to enter into a formal alliance and has shrewdly negotiated for considerable concessions in return for even the most grudging and minimal military assistance. Cygnar's King Leto Raelthorne has a reputation as a just and resourceful monarch who has ruled r. vith intelligence in an extremely difficult time.

A far cry from his hated brother, Vinter Raelthorne, Leto tbokthe crown and freed Cygnal from tyranny. Despite holding strong against multiple enemies, though, King Leto has seen his support eroded by years of strife and several significant-if arguably unavoidable-defeats. While many military experts insist no monarch or general could have done better in the same circumstances, the loss of Llael and the Thornwood combined with considerable trollkin-related unrest have given considerable fuel to Leto's detractors, particularly in the north of Cygnar. He retains many staunch supporters, but increasingly strident voices claim he has been too indecisive amid the nation's wars. The recent clashes between Caspia and Sul are a testament to Cygnar's precarious position. Hostility began during the Llaelese War while Cygnar's troops abroad were engaged against Khador, with Protectorate forces laying siege to Caspia's eastern gates.

This was unsuccessful but demanded retaliation, and the Cygnaran Army eventually breached the walls of Sul. Their invasion into this city proved to be costly and extended, consuming the lives of thousands on both sides. Eventually the Protectorate reclaimed Sul and conducted a counter attack on the streets of Caspia, one which seemed near to swallowing the entire city in conflict and threatening the palace. Disaster was only narrowly averted after a prolonged battle in which the king himself took up his blade. In the end, the battle ended when It r'vouId seem war is changing the pace of Cygnar's technologl as sr,r. iftly as it is changing the pace of her people. Her foundries produce more weapons, warjacks, alchemical components, anci material to support the war effort, and goods and rare materials throughout the kingdom are now rationed for the military. In truth, the Cygnaran spirit preserved in the hearts of her soldiers is the nation's true strength.

The people of Cygnar are bloodiec but unborved. They are more than willing and ready to defend themseh'es and their beloved kingdom from those who would crush the principles of freedom and aIl for which Cygnar stands. THE KHADORAN EMPIRE Khador is a land of sweeping expanses fertile plains, imposing mountains. and dense forests. Her people are the stalwart inheritors of an ancien: civilization that once dominated the north. This history is ever present in the minds of the Khadoran people, as every generation repeats the tales of the legendar.. These fierce warlords banded together, conquerei the weaker tribes, and fashioned the proud Khardic Empire. Some say the empire never truly fell but simply endured a dari age until it could emerge and evolve into the modern nation o: Khador.

Having redrawn Khador's r border at the northern bank of the Black River, the - -{.. mmand and its legions pause to regroup before their ' The people of Khador have not enjoyed the fruits of the modern era as thoroughly as their southern neighbors, a fact that fuels their dreams of empire. Seven months later, the Llaelese War ended with the surrender of Merywyn, the former capital.

This has entirely changed the face of the nation, entering Llael into four long years of turmoil and constant adaptation to the changing face of their nation as it has been occupied, conquered, and repeatedly battled over by foreign polvers. Most of the people had no desire to host the largest conflicts b ' the battle-ready armies of the h'on Kingdoms and desperately desire son-re return to nolmality', even if that means accepting foreign flags and masters. At present, what was once western Llael is increasingly accepting its lot and has begun rebuilding.

Eastern Llael contains several Resistance havens but is increasingly dominated by the Northern Crusade of the Protectorate of Menoth and their religious zealotry. In truth, Llael u'as a failed state rvell before the Khadorans marched on their shared border. The last strong Llaelese king died of old age almost ten years before the onset of this war, and his death phrnged Llael's nobles into a frenzy of selfconsuming plots and politics. This included the assassination of al1 the former king's heirs as well as a number of duels and assassinations further thinning the ranks of the nobilitv.

Prime Minister Deyar Glabryn took pou'er and proved to be a corrupt and self-interested leader more intent on lining his pockets than governing his nation. The Cygnaran Army spent considerable lives seeking to slow the inexorable Khadoran advance but n as ultimately forced to rvithdra'"v to defend Cygrrar's own borders. It is widely believed Glabryn collaborated'"vith the Khadorans by weakening thc nation. Prior to the invasion, Llael had a centuries-old reputation as a haven of court intrigue and shrewd financiers. Llael maintained sovereignty throngh intense poiitical brokering. Its income came from the collection of tariffs made possible by its central location betrveen several of the major powers of lvestern Immoren. The region, in the midst of the trade route between Cygnar and Rhul, is of considerable strategic importance.

This has been a blessing and a curse, filling Llaelese pockets in times of peace but constantly drawing the covetous eyes of Khador since the signing of the Corvis Treaties. Despite the recent turmoil, most of its surviving citizens simply try to carve out lives for themselves as best they can and see to the needs of their families. After almost four years under Khadoran rule, most have come to terms with being part of the Khadoran Empire. Their lives, similar to those in Cygnar and Ord before, have in some respects improved under the efficient management of the Khadorans. Many opportunities have come into this region as a result of Khadoran investment, including tvork extending rail lines as well as considerable militarf industrl', particularly in the capital of Merywyn and the large rvestet'n city of Laedrv.

There is no doubt the Khadolans have improved the nation's infrastructule. Despite these factors, resentment towatd the Khadorans lingers, particularly in parts of Llael that saw the worst of the war. The tally of deaths from the invasion remains unknown. Tales of the burning of Riversmet and other n'artime horrors reverberate throughout the kingdoms. It will take more than a few years for these incidents to be forgotten. In both Merywyn and Laedry there has been something of a reversal of fortunes between the Ryn and the Umbrean people.

While many Llaelese Umbreans were proud of their nation, they were also marginalized, with military service their only hope for advancement. Many of the most fervid were kil1ed in the invasion, fighting to save their homes. Those who remain remember the lack of respect they suffered from the Ryn. A renewal of Umbrean spirit has swept the region, and increasingly Umbreans are gaining positions of authority and influence, while Ryn scramble to curry favor. For the Umbreans in particular, life has improved under the new government, even if the region remains in turmoil. Llael also possesses natural resources that for centuries enabled it to stay competitive with its larger neighbors, notably a high content of coal and, in the northern mountains and particularly around Rynyr, great quantities of the minerals required for making blasting powder. With nobility owning the lands, Llael's upper classes increased their wealth from coal and powder profits while the nation's poor did all the work.

Indeed, the disparity between the classes appeared more clearly in Llael than anywhere else in the kingdoms, yet thousands of workers from all over western Immoren arrived daily to work the mines. Any Llaelese found to be supporting the Resistance in any capacity, even by unknowingly providing food or shelter, face execution at the hands of the Khadorans. Rhydden is the last city in the hands of the Resistance and has transformed from a tranquil city of wine into a heavily fortified encampment. Elsewhere operatives must make do with the dubious security of safe houses and underground dens in Merywyn and Laedry. The Llaelese Resistance is in a state of transition but remains fiercely dedicated to its cause, perhaps all the more so as the dream of restoring Llael becomes even more unlikely. In Rhydden their emphasis is on the immediate needs of the citizens collected there, ensuring preservation amid desperate circumstances. The objective of the Resistance outside Rhydden has their become the disruption of Khadoran bureaucracy and harassment of the military however possible rather than the pursuit of conventional military gains.

The surviving Resistance leaders have years of experience fighting diffrcult battles while outnumbered and outgunned; some of them are former members of the Llaelese Army or held prominent positions in esteemed groups like the Order of the Amethyst Rose, gun mages who have long dedicated themselves to the kings of Llael. These veteran commanders are training the next generation of warriors for a different sort of war, one fought in alleyways and by small groups seeking to evade detection as they strike at their enemies and exact a cost in Khadoran blood for the occupation. Funding for the Resistance has also changed. Much of its frnancial support has come from a group identifying themselves as the Highborn Covenant, former nobles of Llael who feel betrayed by the former prime minister. Many of these nobles, now living in exile in Cygnar or Ord, are still willing to support those fighting at home, but as their own situations have changed, the funds they supply have dwindled.

Increasingly the Resistance relies on alternative sources of support, including selling their services as mercenaries and raising sympathy for their cause among displaced Llaelese. Fundraising for the Resistance has taken place wherever former Llaelese have settled, most particularly near Corvis in Cygnar and in certain Ordic cities like Five Fingers, Berck, andTarna. Both fulfilling mercenary contracts and the need to raise funds, sometimes by questionably legal means, often requires Resistance agents to go abroad on a variety of dangerous missions.

ORD The kingdom of Ord is a land of fog- shrouded moors, rolling highlands, and locky coasts.

Many of the wealthier Tordorans have made their fortunes irr livestock; the region is famed for its cattle. goats, sheep, ancl horses. The Thurians, more numerous in the sonth, are far scarcer in the halls of power; even those families that have risen to power are generally subordinate to their Tordoran counterparts. Those Thurians lvho have attained any success have had to clo so rvith rvits and hard r,vork. The nation's ports are home to the finest sailors and dock men in western Immoren. Ordic fishermen and sailors exert a great deal of corrtrol over seaborue trade rolltes all across the r,r,estern seaboard. True, some Ordic ports are pirate havens and thieves' dens, but the goods their merchantmen Procure irom all over the Iron Kingdoms can make even the most disreputable cities worth the trip.

The1, are mostlv a common people r'vho enjov a rvide varietl' of sport and gambling 1 E IRON KINGDOMS diversions from their everyday lives of dock work, shipbuilding, or tilling fields. Those born to wealth live on large estates high above the lowlands. While more famed for its navy, Ord has an army that has earned respect in countless border wars.

The Ordic Army has managed to repel numerous rnvaslons throughout history despite its chronically dated Khadoran arms and relatively small size. Its soldiers are traditionally well trained and brave, but the nation lacks the economic might to outfit them with the advanced mechanika now common in the other armies of the Iron Kingdoms. Much of Ord's security has been derived from the rugged border between Khador and the Ordic interior, jagged hills fortified with dozens of holds and fastnesses. The recent seizure of the Thornwood by Khador has imperiled that, prompting the Ordic Army to increase recruitment and commit to a frenzy of construction along their eastern border. Ord's King Baird Cathor II, known as "the Baird" among his people but sometimes called "the Bandit King" behind his back, relies on shrewd political maneuvering to ensure his kingdom's survival.

Some say he earned his less flattering moniker as much from his shady associates as from the curses of castellans complaining of his high taxes. While he presents himself as a simple pleasure seeker, he has proven to be one of the shrewdest and best-informed monarchs in the kingdoms and possesses an expansive network of spies. Since the outbreak of war, he has carefully maintained his country's neutrality even as he attempts to play other nat'ions off one another. While Ord has suffered repeated attacks from Khador over the centuries and Baird's sympathies rest with Cygnar, he is too pragmatic not to exploit opportunities to enrich his struggling kingdom. Such opportunities lately have bestowed the nation with the chance to become a more significant power. As the only kingdom not yet actively engaged in war, Ord is in an advantageous position. After the fall of Llael many refugees, some possessing valuable skills, sought refuge in Midfast and Merin.

This led to the Free Order of the Golden Crucible establishing its new headquarters in Midfast, bringing with them a wealth of alchemical expertise as well as considerable income from their far-flung membership. Cygnar seeks to solidify an alliance with the kingdom now that Llael has fallen, and the Ordic throne n S! f F' recognizes its increased value to Cygnar. This has resulted in some exchanges of services and mechanika between the Cygnaran Armory and the Ordic Navy, spearheaded by King Baird's second son, a distinguished naval officer who has taken up the cause of modernizing the kingdom's military assets. The annexation of the Thornwood by Khador resulted in an unexpected development when the Cygnaran city of Fellig was cut off from the rest of its nation after the fal1 of Northguard.

Mercenaries working together with the Ordic Army were able to provide the city relief from a Khadoran siege, and non' Fellig has become an Ordic possession, creating a stalwart northeastern bastion for the Ordic Army. Cygnar's King Leto has seen fit to allow this situation to persist, at least until his nation can recapture the Thornwood. For now, it is better that Fellig be in Ordic rather than Khadoran hands. The city's citizens find themselves in a peculiar position, as it is populated by proud Morridanes who remain fiercely patriotic to Cygnar; most residents are grateful to Ord but become prickly at anv talk of the city being anything but Cygnaran. Nevertheless, the HOUSE AAATEU If any group in Ord could be said to rival the authority of the throne, it would be the powerful Mateu family, believed to have its fingers in virtually every major financial dealing across western Immoren. The family has been led for over fifty years by Castellan Izabella Mateu, known as a merciless tyrant who will stop at nothing to increase the power and reach of her house.

The Mateu Merchant House is most influential in Ord and headquartered in its largest city, Berck, but its reach extends to a number of Ordic and Khadoran port cities. Adding to its nefarious reputation is the house's ongstanding rivalry with the Cathors, Ord's current 'oyal dynasty. From AR to AR, a Mateu sat on :he throne, having seized the crown by assassination and csing it by the headsman's axe. Many castellans in Ord a:e convinced the Mateau house seeks to topple not only :ie Mercarian League but the Cathors as well. i Ordfolk including fresh soldiers has been a boon, and The Protectorate began as a compromise during the peace talks at the end of the Cygnaran Civil War in AR, and for most of its history it was beholden to Cygnaran authority.

Even in the earliest years the Cygnaran Crown preferred to leave the Sui-Menites to govern themselves. The only stipulations imposed on the people of the Protectorate were that thel' continue to pay taxes to the throne and that they not create a standing army. Even these mild limits would eventually fall by the wayside, and for the last several decades the Protectorate has acted as an increasingly sovereign state. The situation reached a head during the Llaelese War when the Protectorate launched attacks against Cygnar and the two severed al1 lingering ties.
