Are things happening so fast you don't know where you are anymore? Are you looking for a more relaxed pace of life? Is the stress of it all finally getting to you? Looking for a truly lightweight version of BattleMaster? Looking for a place to deport hated enemies? If the answer is yes to any of these things, then the Colonies is the place for you!

The Colonies are still young and there is very little infrastructure outside of the main cities. There are few roads around for travel, and fewer still are of the continental standard you would expect, making travel slow (there is only one turn a day in the Colonies.) But don't let the bumpy caravan rides fool you! The conflicts here are just as fast and furious as any other. The food is plentiful, as is the gold. The sooner you visit the Colonies, the sooner you'll learn of the true joys in life!

History

Much has happened in the Colonies since the first settlers arrived from other lands. Many wars have raged across the land for dominion over this island of few regions. Several realms are now nothing more than pages in the history books.

Colonies Land Reform
