An Elf.. a pistol... And a dead prince... It was the shot heard around the world....

It was the dawn of a new age. The industrialization of mankind that had started in the Eucadian empire had taken the nations by storm. Those nations holding onto the traditional ideology of the old world could not compete, and were consumed by the fires of the now expanding and newly formed technologically superior empires. Gunpowder replaced magic, now seen as an obsolete weapon, rarely used. The potency of the rifle was unmatched. It was adapt or fall victim to the hungering maw of these rising powers. So nations did what they had to, to survive: They industrialized. 
Using the firearms and technology the empires had held over the rest of the world as a deterrent. It worked. And slowly, the Empires stopped their expansions, now contested by an equal technology.
Rifles replaced bows and crossbows, and schools of magic closed down, only few remained open teaching healing magics. Most nations were content in the end. And the world was at a fragile peace. The wood elves, or Woden Elves of the ancestral Woden homeland of Enevere were not content. Held firm in their traditional values, they opposed everything this new world stood for. They opposed the occupation of their lands by other nations and empires which took advantage of their refusal to adapt. They opposed the cutting down of their sacred forests for wood for rifles and cities. And eventually, they had enough. An extremist from one of the many woden clans had shot and killed the High Prince of the Golden Kingdom of the Avelon over the occupation of their sacred woods. Of their ancestral home. The response was swift. The Avelonian army torched the woods in response, and crossed into Enevere.

Through series of alliances, or similar ideology more nations would be consumed in this conflict, until the world burned.

The world split into the Alliance of Empires, and the Vineslian Pact

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Eastonian Caliphate:

The Eastonian Caliphate, next to the Dynasty of Myrcine has been one of the longest standing nations to date. It's size has always fluctuated, but the nation has never fallen. Up until the re-introduction of gunpowder, the caliphate has remained stagnated in it's size. After the aquisition of firearms and the modernization of it's military, it quickly started it's spread across the East, enveloping as much as it could while it had the upper hand. Though some of it's territory has been lost again through time, it's taken advantage of the situation of the war to reclaim lost territory.
After a failed war with Eucadia, and the loss of it's southernmost territories, now being nations propped up by the Eucadian Empire, the Caliphate was quick to join the Pact. It was the excuse it needed to attack an already struggling and stretched Empire's territory. To kick out Eucadian influence, and to bring the south under heel.

-Allegiance: Vineslian Pact

Kingdom of Galbany:

Galbany's Royal family has almost always been a staunch supporter of the Eucadians, since ancient times. The Silven Elves based their whole Galbanic society off the Eucadian's example. However, with the ruling Silven elves having closed the doors to their sanctuary and having gone silent over 100 years ago, the Parliment of Galbany has assumed control. Firm anti-Imperialism believers, they've mustered the armies of Galbany against Eucadia, breaking an age-old understanding between the two nations, and severely crippling any chances of a friendship ever reforming from the ashes.

-Allegiance: Vineslian Pact
-Population: Silven Elf, Human, Harpy, Chimera, Forest Lamia/Naga
