The Outer Isles

Across Khorvaire, the people of the five nations look to the sky and beyond. Their planet's rings, the source of magic. The distant moons, anchors of the planes. And further, the endless distant stars. None have ever reached them - but today, that may change.   Breland's experiments with tried and tested artifice position them ahead of the pack, ready to launch the Golden Fleet to explore and profit from the stars. Aundair's expertise in magecraft and arcane science has formed the Dragonhawk Initiative, founded for daring and discovery. And, Karrnath's experimentation in planar and necromantic magic supports the Blade of Siberys, expanding their influence and might to new worlds.   Together, the three competitors have agreed to a treaty - to work side by side, out of the neutral ground of Thronehold. To support each other's efforts, and work toward a peaceful future.   Across Khorvaire, the people of the five nations watch their backs. The last war has been over for only ten years, and while an uneasy peace is in place, there are no end to those who would break it - win the new war, return the Galifar empire, and enter a golden age paid for in blood. Will the space race bring the nations together, or be the spark that reignites the war?
