Steinau
Is a rugged and windswept land, shaped by the relentless forces of the
North Sea. Its cliffs stand tall against the crashing waves, and its
rolling dunes stretch inland, blending into fertile plains and dense,
ancient forests. The native people of Steinau, primarily of Germanic and
Dutch descent, have long called this land home, forging a culture
deeply rooted in the sea, trade, and resilience.
By the year 1378 Steinau had become a vital hub in
North Sea trade. Its ports bustled with merchants from the Hanseatic
League, bringing goods from Lübeck, Amsterdam, and beyond. The Steinauer
people, once humble fishers and warriors, became master shipbuilders
and traders, exporting timber, salt, and wool in exchange for exotic
spices, silks, and precious metals.
Though its ancient traditions still linger, Steinau has evolved into a
prosperous and strategically important land. It remains a bridge between
the cultures of the Frisian, Frankish, Saxon and Norse, yet it
holds tightly to its own unique identity—one of strength, independence,
and an unbreakable bond with the sea. But the line between culture is
only more visible then ever...
After the War of the Sceptre and the Cross. Steinau now lies fractured.
A dark age of its own, where bandits roam the lands. Noble families have been shattered
and unity is something from the past. It is up to the new inhabitants of this island to
bring backpeace and order, or fall down the path of hostility and power.
Which path will you choose? Which settlement will you join or create? Which culture is the one you fight for?
