The great city of Vikaastea appeared 78 years ago when Sergey the Schemer focused his armies and resources to acquire and secure a land from a Lizardfolk tribe known as Irhtos Sauriv. This land, located between two major lakes is very strategic as it the only easy way to get in or out of what they called The Great Quagmire, a mix of marches and swamps where ancient and deadly things lurk...
Sergey's elder boy died on the battlefield before his twenties but his second born, Serrok came back to the new founded city where he studied the arts of War and Ruling. He quickly became the king's adviser, then got the throne as his father got too old to reign. He secured most of the Outer Regions during the Rallying Years, and now focuses most of his power against the Inner Lands. But the task proved to be way harder to achieve than his most pessimistic estimates, with resentful reptilian tribes and dreadful decaying things, and its now been a decade since the Cleansing Wars started...

City Factions

Vikaastea Settlers
They were are the armed arm of the realm, and focus on expending its territory as well as exploring the many unknown things in that region.

Tridana
The Tridana —composed of no more than three Tridanâd (plural, Tridanarr singular)— simply is the High Council of the City, head advisors of King Serrok himself.

The Oak Shield
They are responsible for two vital things: maintaining peace in the realm, and represent the Law.

The Silver Hand
Masters of the Tri-God Pantheon, they are composed of various religious bodies that worship one of the three gods of The Triad: Bahamut, dragon god of Justice; Ilmater the Broken God, god of suffering and compassion; and Torm the True, god of duty.

The Flaming Tree Trading Consortium
An assembly of merchants, peasants and all kind of laborers. It is a massive, messy, tentacular thing with many, many sub-factions.
