The islands are beautiful. They are peaceful, with soft sands and warm waves and many neighboring nations enjoy vacationing on their shores. It was also a haven for nerdy, science-y and artsy people. And many inventions and works of art are created there.

Helping friends improve their own situation, two brothers, who dip their toes deeply into the science-y, nerdy aspects of their haven, searched for a way to give their people a better life. And they found it. And it was big. But someone wanted to take it away from them. From their entire world. In searching for allies to help them set things right, a new world was born. One of prosperity and of family.

Alliances were formed and sides were chosen and from the struggle, a great house was raised and with it, a fortress to protect them all, not the least these islands. Organizing their governments and their military towards the offensive rather than the defensive, they staked their claims for their people. And now, all they had to do was protect all that they've built long enough to get it into the hands of everyone that wanted it. Only not every government agreed with their goal.
