Recent History
Five years ago, Ker'Kira was beseiged by the powerful mage's consortium, The Forum. Though the attack was repelled and The Forum pushed out of the land, the city has fallen into disarray since the siege ended. King Thomas has been unable to stop the rise of the merchant guilds and hooligan gangs that have overrun the city.
