Chronicles of the Kingdoms

The Present Age

Current Year · 1207 AE

A World in Harmony

For the first time in recorded history, no kingdom marches against another. The five crowns meet each spring at the Castle of the Kingdoms to share trade routes, harvest forecasts and weather charts. Old wounds remain in the songs and the football chants — but on the maps, the borders are quiet.
