**''Station West was a prosperous trading town ruled by the Imperial Governor in Moundan until 5 years ago. It stood at the 3-way border of Moundan, Matan, and Loshiria. The Regent of Matan was trying to negotiate a peace settlement with the invading Orcs and suggested to all the parties involved to have a conference in this town were three Imperial factions bordered. The Orc Princess said, "Sure!" and marched her armies to the town, conquering pieces of Moundan, Matan, and Loshiria in the process. Then she said, "Let's negotiate!". The Orc clans felt insulted when the human states all cancelled their plans, so they renamed the town. Now Moundan no longer even borders on Matan, and all parties blame Matan for encouraging Orc depredations.'' | **''Station West was a prosperous trading town ruled by the Imperial Governor in Moundan until 5 years ago.

The sea route! Why can’t they sail back to the Imperial Core? They can! But sailing south around the vast continent that stretches past the equator would take nearly as long as the overland route. Plus, in the far south are a tangle of archipelagos where the Orangutan Kingdoms are waging war against the Gibbon Principalities. A human ship is likely to get attacked/captured/press-ganged by either side unless you’re clever enough to talk your way through a dozen warring sea states. And then there are the southern hemisphere’s own human pirates to contend with. | The sea route! Why can’t they sail back to the Imperial Core? They can!
