Tempest Island
A map of Tempest Island.

Tempest Island is a World Conquest region located on the eastern edge of the world. It is an island map that features a large, rocky main island surrounded by several smaller islands. Formerly a Skirmish map, the old map layout can be seen in the main island, albeit rotated 90 degrees.

Logistical Locations

Waterways & Railway Lines

There are no permanent railway structures placed in this region, so player-made tracks are necessary to do train logistics.

Water Wells

Industry

Due to being an Island Region, it's industrial world structures will NOT change with different war configurations. As such, these hexes can have varying levels of logistical sustainability.

This map will always include these logistical structures, which can provide various frontline needs.

Hollow Book

Hollow Book

At first glance, it appears to be a simple book. As you shift it between your hands, you feel something clanking around inside.

You tap the cover; It’s hollow.

Inside you find a hole carved out between the pages, revealing a generous amount of dried jerky bound with cedar twine. It smells delicious, but you know it’s worth too much to consume. Though your hunger might betray you.

It’s been ages since you’ve smelled decent meat.

A Brief History of Caoiva Vol. I

A Brief History of Caoiva Vol. I

You find a book titled “Volume I - A Brief History of Caoiva” and flip to a random page.

Carden Callahan, the fourth son of our first Archon, Iain Callahan, took it upon his shoulders to quell the riots in Whedon’s Row. The soldiers were reluctant to support him initially, due to his lack of experience in matters of warfare.

As unrest spread southwest to Ogmaran, Callahan, leading a small force of his own men, infiltrated the town and held it without shedding a drop of blood. Deft in the art of diplomacy, his silver tongue earned him a bevy of new followers. They commemorated his leadership with a name befitting the son of a legend.

Thus, the Brigade of the Eight Sons was formed. Callahan led them into battle, proudly bearing the honour of his brothers until his death at the hands of Velian rebels.
