The Island Kingdom of Kromarn

At a Glance

Kromarn has for the last five years been a country under the cloud of civil war. The country is split up into numerous baronies and nearly all are fighting one another.Fifty years ago the King of Kromarn and his family were murdered by the assassins guild in the pay of one of the Barons.Since then the country has past from unrest to anarchy. The other major powers on the continent have all got their fingers in this very red pie.
At present there appears to be no end to the troubles. There are of course the usual prophecies about one of the royal line returing to bring the barons back in line, but few believe them as most know that there were no survivors of the massacre at Calldar. The country has turned into a magnet for all the mercenaries on the continent, it has even been rumoured that some of the larger powers are using the wars to train their own troops.
The country suffers in other ways; trade has dropped to almost nothing, the only trade left is in military supplies and food for the warring factions. All the money is leaving the country with none coming in. The Barons rely on robbing their opponents or what meagre natural resources they have to provide the necessary monies to continue the war.
Kromarns natural resources are gems and sea produce. The gems are found in the inner highlands of the country and the sea food was caught by the huge fishing fleet that once occupied all the available ports on the island. Most of these are now vessels of war in the fleets of the Barons.
