The Nuetrality: the time between
For 500 years, an ignorant peace reigned across Algaësia. Alraënia--the warring country, or bloodied land--once again settled into an uncomfortable silence--once again taking the quiet, peaceful title of Algaësia.
Satazian, Lord of Earth reigned securely within his stead after the war, blossoming earth's economy and strengthening his ties of loyalty among his people. He is firm, but he is fair... and respected by many. Yet, his justice is swift and his anger may border on tyranny. He is a powerful foe, though he has never struck the first offense.
Kaji Hito, took hold of the throne towards the end of this peaceful age. During the Neutrality he has done well to remain fair towards all within the realm of fire... but his power hold is still young compared to others, and some question if he has the ties and alliances among the vagabonds of fire to maintain control as the second age approaches.
Water also has given birth to a young leader, who ascended into the throne promised to her by Heiseph before she was born. For 80 some years she has been trained to govern, and though her stead as Water's heiress has been short compared to some, she is formidable nonetheless. People cannot mistake her silence for weakness, simply because she does not play an aggressive game does not mean she is not an aggressive player.
... and wind...
Wind has been silent over these 500 years. No outsider has ventured near her borders openly, and very few wind loyals have ventured outside Wind's borders. Her silence is due to her lack of leadership--a stead left empty during the Nuetrality.
And so, through peace and silence the nations have grown. Some have abandoned their roots to investigate other options abroad, espionage, rebelry, and the like... few can be trusted, and many can be bought.
