The Fourth Age

The Fourth Age is what most people think of when they think of the golden years of the Red Islands. The Fourth Age was a time mostly of peace, infrequently marred by clan wars and small skirmishes. The High Emperor of the Lotus Clan ruled from the Imperial City on Kanshuu, a place of gargantuan scale and mystical wonders. From here, he ruled the three Provinces, North, South and East, and all the prefectures in them. There was little pressure from the lands outside of the Red Islands, and civilization thrived in the wake of the Third Age, a time of opression, war, and suffering.

Fourty years ago, the Fourth Age ended, as a widening gap between warriors and wielders of magic engulfed the Imperial Throne. The rift formed in society by the hand of a group called the Kuieh Yosei, a group of political anarchists and revolutionaries working against the government.

The wake of the Fourth Age was called the Period of the Warring States.
