the continent of Marcwith was torn apart by warring families. Of these families, the noble Extiez gathered small clans and carved out territory in the northern tip of Marcwith. After years of protecting their clans, Vinumera Extiez finally established a firm border between their land and the constant battlefield where the rest of Marcwith fought for dominance. For three hundred years the country of Vinumera was a relatively peaceful place while Marcwith descended into a barren wasteland. However, when strange foreigners came to Vinumera from across the sea, old feuds once again became relevant. The Extiez family decided to welcome the strangers – mostly because they offered to teach the family the secrets of SAILING – but hey they betray everyone and it sucks. The foreigners follow a powerful family of their own called the Arnoons and their main competitors are the Stormvice. The Extiez try to keep the peace, but have mostly just been losing territory to the other two.
