The Kingdom of Gewisse is located far to the end of the former Empire in mostly marshy and swampy lands - there is no major wealth there beyond some farms, fish and lumber. But what the people lack in wealth, they make up for in faith to the one true Lord. In the times of the Empire the lands were backwater and ignored, beyond a few traveling merchants from the sea who stopped on their way to bigger ports. After its collapse, the various Petty Kings fought in the region until one ruling family emerged and united the disparate lands.
Over time the land developed and cities rose where villages had once been. But time that allowed the people to build, also led the people to forget. Now, talk of an Empire ruling over the lands is mere legend passed down from the story tellers in the small villages and the various pubs and inns. Many such believe these stories to be comforting tales told of a time of prosperity under one ruler to give hope where there otherwise may not be.
While the small folk forget, the nobles and well to do remember their history lessons that teach of this great Empire, its fall and the subsequent chaos that enveloped the lands, only vaguely united by the one true church. Alfred Von Gewisse's reign has been a short one, but the deeply spiritual man looks outward for the first time in generations in hopes of expanding the wealth of his small Kingdom and bring peace and stability to this far corner.
