Rothschild Territory
From the Rothschild port, three silhouettes loomed on the horizon, vast, dark vessels anchored in the open sea, their hulking forms motionless yet undeniably menacing. They hovered far from land but close enough that anyone with decent eyesight could feel the weight of their presence pressing against the shore.
Rumors spread faster than the tide. Foreign ships had arrived, from a continent no one in Kaelindor had ever seen, crewed by beings no one could identify. The empire issued warnings immediately, urging citizens to remain alert and stay away.
The emperor gave out a decree: "Do not interfere. Do not provoke. Do not approach."
No one knew who—or what—was coming. No one knew what these newcomers wanted with their continent. And any reckless involvement from civilians could shatter the stability of the empire.
