Though
recently freed from occupying evil humanoids, Sterich finds itself in flames
once again. The nobles, now returning to power, have renewed their power
struggle between each other and the anointed ruler of Sterich, the Marchioness.
The military, though badly bloodied in the reclamation campaigns, has emerged as
a seasoned force with a handful of veteran generals with a taste for defeating
evil humanoids but no real experience policing their own country. Five different
clan holds have failed to send representatives to the court of the
Marchioness--though whether this is in protest of her renewed rule or because
evil humanoids still retain power in those areas, none can say for sure.
