Worldview

Ironhold, the Mute March, the Crimson Flame, the White Tower, the Deepwood, the Blacksea, Sangold — seven realms divide the world between them, and all of them turn about the one Throne at the centre.

The living count their days by the Royal Era, reckoned from the year the kingdom was founded; the old scrolls use the Era of the Gods, which counts years so much earlier that no one remembers them.

The iron coin, the silver mark, the tomb gold — the right to strike coin lies with Ironhold alone. The Sangold League holds exchange, credit and transfer across borders, and cannot strike a single coin.
