The weight of time has laid heavy on the borderlands of Garmont and Vicaria, two neighbours who have lived next to each other for hundreds of years; but still they are wary of one another.
Vicaria, where the winds of magic still linger. An ancient culture of old gods and superstitious customs. Their many disparate clans are united by a theocracy of druidic mystics who dictate all aspects of everyday life.
Garmont, a land of fine wines, good food and hard days tending the fields. Where the rigid feudal ladder is strained under the weight of vying nobles claiming power, while peasants serve their lords with diligence or face punishment.
Both cultures are stuck between tradition and modernity, the new and the old gods, the world they aspire to and the reality they live.
Every year, six cantons and clans from across these lands gather for A Dance of Ribbons to welcome in the new season, and, for a few days, enjoy peace and revelry. The Dance brings hope of new treaties, of peaceful ritual, and an exchange of faith, politics, culture and food.
The Dance is meant to be a place of fun and good tidings, but in the past six years each canton and clan has experienced a plague; The Great Glut, The Dancing Sickness, The Slowing, The Hunt...
For six years it has been an Endless Spring.
Sometimes, there is too much of a good thing...

Setting: While our wonderful land is set in a fantasy setting, the cultures and ideas that we play with, including fashion, sit around the early Renaissance to late 17th century. Some of our cultures are inspired by real world places, but we want to emphasise the inspiration part. They are not a one-to-one recreation. There is almost no tech, but there is word of magic brewing in the lands...
