Every continent had its own local superpowers.
In the past, the superpowers of the 'Old World' were, indisputably, the 'Ancient Families'. With time, however, that status had slowly been lost to the royalties of various kingdoms and empires, especially after ready access to Timaeus Vault was no longer a possibility for the ancient families.
