Stability | + | For almost two centuries, humanity has experienced peace and prosperity under a social order known as kleocracy, where the superhuman few rule city-states through neo-feudal political and economic networks. Stability has been achieved, and destructive wars have been replaced by honor-bound conflicts between champions. It has been a golden age according to many. |
The Kairos Covenant is an alliance of cosmopoli who wish to band together for common defense against enemies particularly those who seem antithetical to the life of humanity on Tehom. There are three specific enemies that concern the Kairos Covenant: | The Kairos Covenant is an alliance of cosmopoli who wish to band together for common defense against enemies particularly those who seem antithetical to the life of humanity on Tehom.

This campaign follows the events of the Northern Set. Within the last year, three more cosmopoli (Tortuga, Sapphopolis, and AboveBoard City) have joined the Kairos Covenant. A major success, this potentially puts them in a dominant position in the region over the independent states, the venerable Beacon, and the violent Thaimbase. | This campaign follows the events of the Northern Set.

**Aqua Mesa is an unnatural land formation created by Thomas the Sage, the eventual founder of Calmport. The island has no shore; rather, the entire length of its coastline is sheer cliffs. These cliffs are no shorter than fifty feet, and can be as high as 300!. Aqua Mesa City has dug a highway down to the coast and created a small artificial harbor for ships. The lands of the Mesa are still often wild, and odd things lurk in its hills….

**Pinnacle is the grandest cosmopolis of them all. Just as people from Pinnacle, and they will happily tell you. Irritatingly, they are probably right. It is the largest, the most wealthy, and the most powerful. Its aristocracy of legacies goes back to William Goodguide, a founding member of the Stormward Council. Pinnacle is conservative, arrogant, yet invested in matters of honor and justice much more sincerely than some other cosmopoli. Together with former rival Srimec City, it founded the Kairos Covenant to defend against both the military advances of Thaimbase, and the ideological corruption of the Anarchy. | **Pinnacle is the grandest cosmopolis of them all.

**Silver Strong has become a hub of finance in the North. Its bankers ask few questions when creating bank accounts or establishing lines of credit. It is infamous for sending its Creditor Council to collect debts by any means necessary. Always working within the law of established contracts, they will viciously threaten and beat and humiliate as much money as they can from debtors who fall behind on their payments. Silver Strong is currently independent, but it is in negotiations with Thaimbase. | **Silver Strong has become a hub of finance in the North.

**Thaimbase has stabilized and is actively seeking to dominate and influence as much of the Set as possible. They have allied with Patience, and they have taken over Calmport. And now, through a combination of archonic wars and diplomatic envoys, they have set their eyes on establishing a foothold in the North. | **Thaimbase has stabilized and is actively seeking to dominate and influence as much of the Set as possible.
