The Continental Powers
166 words
Every flag is a promise and a threat simultaneously. The crowns, republics, reform centers, and rising states contending across Aeon each shape the pressures that reach Mar de Oro. Each nation has its own dedicated dossier, visit the Nations gallery for the full lore of Valdegracia, Albion, Stroomdijk, Luminore, the Duchy of Heller, Éirighdún, Eisenmark, and Volkharov.
The eight flags
Open a nation dossier
Valdegracia
Mother-crown of the Solarian world, governing by patent, precedent, and cathedral corridor.
Albion
Survey the coast, acquire the advantage, deny it to everyone else.
Stroomdijk
Finance it, move it, own the terms. The flag can stay where it is.
Luminore
A republic that argues in print, and expects the argument to be answered in print.
Eisenmark
Examinations, foundries, and promises treated as load-bearing.
Volkharov
Counts time in generations, distance in winters, and rarely gives ground back.
Republic of Éirighdún
Deep harbors, worked Éterlumin, and a memory book for every debt owed.
The Duchy of Heller is treated as an autonomous Valdegracian colony rather than a separate continental power; its dossier lives with the colonial holdings on the Nations gallery and in Chapter V.
Reading the powers#
The Setting Guide devotes a full dossier to each continental power. On this site those dossiers live on their own pages under the Nations section, where flags, tenors, colonial holdings, and current pressures can be presented in full without crowding the codex.
Use the Nations gallery to move between them. Valdegracia is the old mother-crown. Albion is its maritime rival. Stroomdijk is the Chartered Kingdom of trade. Luminore is the reformist center of learning. The Duchy of Heller is the autonomous colony that broke the mold. Éirighdún is the neutral factor-house republic. Eisenmark supplies engineers and physicians to the rest of the world. Volkharov watches from the far east.
For the campaign frame these crowns create, explore Mar de Oro as a colonial fantasy setting.
