Unified Iberia

Unified Iberia stands as the beating heart of the Iberian Oversea Empire, a formidable maritime dominion born from the union of Portugal and Spain. Though the catastrophic Great Invasion of Europe of the Blighted Vanguard severed all contact with the sprawling South American colonies, the mainland endures with remarkable resilience under the reign of the young monarchs Luka and Zaira, whose decisions are carefully guided by the experienced Regent Fernando. Despite the ravages of ongoing conflict, Unified Iberia remains the preeminent naval superpower in the fractured remnants of Europe, commanding the seas with unmatched prowess and determination. The magnificent capital of Madrid continues to shine with imperial grandeur, its architecture and monuments standing defiantly against the encroaching flames of war, a symbol of the empire's unwavering spirit. The legendary dockyards of Lisbona represent the pinnacle of Iberian shipbuilding mastery, where colossal battleships—the pride of their fleet—have been constructed with unparalleled skill and ambition. Salt-laden ocean breezes drift through these bustling ports, carrying with them the fervent aspirations of a people determined to reclaim their lost dominions and restore their empire to its former glory. The people of Unified Iberia harbor an unshakeable resolve to rebuild their fractured realm and reassert dominance over the trade routes and territories that once defined their power.

Gallia

Gallia stands as a nation transformed by martial discipline and industrial fervor following the dramatic coup d'état that brought Généralissime Asparugus Du Galle to absolute power. The landscape bears the unmistakable imprint of years of military consolidation, with massive factories belching smoke across the countryside and sprawling military installations dominating the horizon. Citizens navigate daily life beneath an omnipresent atmosphere of regimentation—simultaneously reassuring and suffocating—knowing that the formidable Gallian Army's grip ensures both order and oppression. Great Paris, once celebrated as a city of cultural splendor, has been reimagined as a fortress metropolis, its streets perpetually patrolled by stern gendarmes while towering banners proclaiming the Junta's authority hang from every major structure. The Basilisk Line, Gallia's most ambitious defensive achievement, stretches across the eastern frontier as an imposing series of fortified walls studded with artillery emplacements, running from the colossal Rhineland Mega fortress in the south toward the Ardenne forests in the north. This monumental barrier stands as both a practical bulwark against the encroaching Blighted Vanguard and a stark symbol of Gallia's siege mentality. Heavy industry thrives under the Junta's central planning, transforming the nation into an economic powerhouse driven by relentless production quotas and military expansion. The contrast between the security promised by military strength and the unease bred by constant surveillance creates a peculiar tension that defines modern Gallian existence.

Tiberian Italy

Tiberian Italy stands as a beacon of renaissance and prosperity, meticulously governed by the Tiberian League under the spiritual and temporal authority of Pontiff Cesare. This reborn nation emerged from the ashes of conflict, uniting the fractured Italian peninsula under a singular vision of progress and enlightenment. The partnership between the League and Krul, the 10th-ranked Visitorq, has transformed Tiberian Italy into the continent's foremost center for scientific discovery and arcane research, drawing scholars and innovators from across known lands. At the heart of this achievement stands Neo Roma, where the iconic Spire of Stars pierces the heavens—a monument erected at the site of mankind's greatest victory, the legendary siege that finally broke the Visitorq's oppressive dominion. From this crystalline tower, precious Gaia Energy flows like lifeblood, channeled throughout the Rhineland United Front's vast war machine and industrial infrastructure. North of the capital, the Po River Town Dominion thrives as a confederation of prosperous settlements, where commerce flows as abundantly as the river itself, and mercenary companies maintain vigilant peace along the fertile waterways. This coalition of towns has cultivated a reputation for stability and wealth, attracting merchants and craftspeople seeking safe passage and profitable ventures. The contrast between Neo Roma's towering ambitions and the Po coalition's mercantile traditions creates a balanced society where both innovation and practical prosperity flourish in harmony.

Eastern European Theatre

The Eastern European Battlefront represents the scarred remnants of a once-thriving region, now transformed into a grinding theater of war following the catastrophic Great Invasion of the Blighted Vanguard. This contested territory has become the focal point of a brutal stalemate between the Rhineland United Front and the forces of Zauli, with neither side able to achieve decisive victory despite years of relentless combat. the Final objective of the United Front lies deep within enemy territory, the Urals Fortress serves as Zauli's primary stronghold and supply hub, and its destruction remains the holy grail objective for the Rhineland forces, as it would crack open the path to Zauli's homeland and potentially end the war. Between these major strongholds lies the Balkan no man's land, a lawless region that has become a haven for hardened mercenaries and veteran war bands who exploit the chaos for their own gain, making travel through this zone extraordinarily perilous. The few settlements that remain in this shattered region survive through cunning and fortification, their populations caught between the grinding armies and the predatory bands that hunt the wastelands.

The Lunar Sanctuary

Nestled within the remote reaches of northern Norway lies The Lunar Sanctuary, a fortress of immense historical and mystical significance. Once the stronghold of Visitorq Zoraya, it stands as the last bastion of those who remained loyal to the Supreme Flatty during the tumultuous Age of Decadence. The region exists in perpetual darkness, where the sun never breaches the horizon and an eternal night blankets the landscape. Beyond this inhabited core stretch the Norwegian Steppes, a desolate expanse of natural fortifications where relentless blizzards and bone-chilling cold create an impenetrable barrier against any who would threaten Zoraya's domain. These harsh environmental conditions have served as both sanctuary and prison, isolating the fortress from the outside world while protecting its sacred purpose.
