Our Founding

Founded in the ruined heart of our home, formerly "Louisville", We rose from the ashes of your global anarchy, a beacon amid the 11,606 fractured nations (as of our founding) that fight like wolves. we are born by the unity of our river and the strength of our forge, our ember, by the bastion of our towers and the diligence of our lord.

Our Currency

The official currency is the Talonmark. Not much to add to that part lol

Our Cities

Our capital, New Jefferson, stands rebuilt in the ruins of the old Jeffersontown in the eastern half of the ancient city, It was where Tiber was born and so as he united the anarchic tribes of louisville he named it as his capital of his Commonwealth.

Our Religion

The Riverfolk Faith, known to you as currenism, is a teacher that all of our lives are destined to flows like a river, shaped by the land, hardened by the forge, and always moving toward the Sea Beyond. Fire and water are not opposites, but brothers, no, twins: destruction and purification, collapse and renewal, chaos and order, they are hand and hand. 

It is from your anarchy that we were reborn. We who remembered their roots in the river. We who carried the Ember — the divine flame of unity and civilization forward.

We believe that each person is a spark in the current, tasked with shaping the course of their nation and burning away the rot of the world. You too can be a spark, it is never too late to believe in the highest of truths 

Our Forge

To us, the Forge is more than fire and metal. It is a trial, it is a womb, it is a shrine. It is the place where weakness is scorched away, it is where form is given to chaos. It is the Forge that turned driftwood into walls, rust into blades, and warbands into a nation. 

The Ember, the holy flame of unity and civilization, lives within the Forge and is so that our forge lives within us
