May 1st 8765 of the Faustian 4th generation calendar.
About 5 years have passed since the day that the Andrato Kingdom had been thrown into turmoil due to the death of most of its core powerhouses. The predicted internal unrest had only occurred for a short 3 months since everything had been brutally yet effectively suppressed by the Royal Faction.
Still, one good thing had come out of that course of action. The Royal Faction now controlled almost all aspects of Andrato Kingdom directly, instead of letting various nobles and external private factions do so due to their weakness.
Nevertheless, Andrato Kingdom was facing great external pressure from all sides. What came from other kingdoms was mostly mild as they sought to plant their feet in this small kingdom and suck away some benefits in passing.
