Blurb
Two hundred years ago,
the islands of Vestenmannavnjar were home to fierce
warrior tribes. Wielding powerful rune sorcery and deadly
steel, their warriors struck terror into the hearts
of Theans everywhere. All that has changed. Vendel,
as it now calls itself, has broken from its past and
forged a new future. Today, bankers and merchants rule
the country, and swords and longboats have been replaced
by guilders and trading ships. The streets are clean
and modern, the people stand at the forefront of Thean
achievement. From what was once a savage, wild land
now stands the most powerful economic power in the world.
But all is not well
in this brave new nation. Traditional Vestenmannavnjar
still adhere to the old ways, wielding fierce magic
in defense of their homes. They call upon the Vendel
to abandon their modern advances, while the Vendel sneer
as their 'backward' cousins edge closer to extinction.
The tensions between them threaten to tear the nation
apart and unleash an apocalypse that will consume them
all.
Whether axes or guilders, their weapons
are the strongest in Theah. But will they destroy each
other before they realize such power?
