The Concord of Archons is an alliance based on the wisdom of those who rule the nations within it.
For centuries, wars have raged between the kingdoms that emerged from the ruins of the ancient Dwarven empire. But dwarves were not the only ones involved in this endless series of battles, many of the peoples who lived in the neighborhood of the fallen empire fought for the ancient rulers' riches, mines and fertile lands. Ambition and fear reigned in the hearts of rulers and warlords from the snowy peaks of the Frost Mountains to the flame-scarred slopes of the Dragon Mountains. This continued until a wise and far-sighted ruler came to power in a kingdom named Bronze. Through his efforts, an alliance was forged with the Bronze Kingdom's most implacable rivals - the Minotaurs of the Foothills, the harsh dwarves of Hammerhold, and the people of the Marble Cities.
The Concord of Archons is neither a unified empire nor a religious order. It is a community where different peoples work together as parts of a single mechanism. Old grudges are not forgotten, but left in the past to stand in the face of what is to come. The Archons know that if they become enemies again, no one will survive.
