Four city-states rose from the ashes of the old kingdom that have managed to perpetuate to the modern day. Each constantly strives to grow in strength and influence. All of them contain their own unique cultures, policies, needs and specialties. No open warfare has ever been declared between these four city-states, but rivalries have formed over the long years. Some seek only to continue their independence and focus on the goals and needs of their people. Others dream of returning to the days of a unified kingdom, under their guidance and traditions.
