It was a land of seven kingdoms. Seven kingdoms, and seven thoroghly unpredictable kings. Wester, Nander, Estil, Sunder, and the Middluns-the five inner kingdoms-had once known how to coexist peacefully. Centuries back they had all been of the same family, ruled by three brothers and two sisters who had managed to negotiate their jealousies without resorting to war. But any acknowledgement of that old family bond was long gone now. The kingdoms' people where at the mercy of the natures of those who rose to be their rulers. It was a gamble, and the current generation did not make for a winning hand. The sixth kingdom was seperated by water, a large island, Lienid, and not much was known about it or its people, for they isolated themselves. The seventh kingdom was Monsea. The mountains set Monsea apart from the others, as the ocean did for Lienid. The five inner kingdoms, where the most troublesum, except for Middluns, who tried to keep to itself.
