Synopsis

The river Irenicon was blasted through the middle of Rasenna in 1347 by Concordian Engineers, dividing the only city strong enough to resist them. Now the factions of Rasenna spend precious hours feuding over territory, honing vendettas as sharp as their weapons, while Concord lays quiet plans in sleek towers of iron and glass.
