As much as it would make life far simpler, The Concord is not the only force present in Esterra, or the world at large. A great many of the most pressing concerns to the fledgling coalition of nations can be directly traced to those foes that call themselves powerful in The Concord’s backyard. These forces range from rag tag local groups to distant realms far more powerful than most Concordians even dream of. All have a part to play in our story.
Generally, foreign nations in Concord are split into two categories, threats and foreign powers. The only difference between the two is whether or not the Concord is in open hostilities with them. At the First Summit, there are four groups in active conflict with the Concord, with varying levels of public declarations and political standings. These constitute the current ‘Threats’. Beyond them, the foreign powers the Concord is in contact with vary wildly in tone and power. Be wary, any could become threats if roused to anger.
