The backstory

The year is 356 after the reformation. The kingdom of Santhrim is in the early stages of industrialisation, which has left the capital city of Santhrim City polluted and crowded. You are a Santhran who has been tasked with, for whatever reason, to go to the far east and look for new land for the kingdom to expand to. A settlement called New Santhrim has already been established, however, it is led by people who retained their power from the old country, using the same customs for supressing the lower classes. Talk in the slums of New Santhrim speak about a revolution, but any rebels are quickly silenced. Which side will you join?
