Here swords and muskets decide the fate of states on the battlefields, and daggers and poison - in the shady parks of palaces. Here they still live according to the laws of honor and a nobleman is always ready to answer for his word with steel or blood. Here the Church is powerful, despite the machinations of Chaos worshipers who know how to summon nightmarish demons from beyond the borders of the world. The views of the rulers of many states are fixed on the large port city of Vodacce, which less than a year ago lost its independence and became part of the powerful Salentine Union. The new government in the city is not as strong as it wants to seem, and on the anniversary of the ruler signing an agreement to join a strong neighbor, a variety of people go to Vodacce. They have nothing in common, but the main thing they have in common is that they serve the interests of their rulers, who want to get such a tasty morsel at any cost. Soon the bells will ring in honor of the anniversary of Vodacce’s accession to the Salentine Union, and a crimson tide will fall on the shores of the recently peaceful cities.
