So the Northern Frontier is economically devastated, but physically largely untouched.

The two nations of the Western Coalition, meanwhile, were likely the main stage of the conflicts, and took the brunt of the beating.  But, as the Northern Frontier is starving, who has food and raw resources to sell?

Both factions have something to gain by keeping the peace, but it's bitter.  It sets a good stage.  

So the question here is, how did this conflict get started?  The power imbalance comes from their resources, those Elementus stones(let's get some more description on that, I think), but who struck first?  Perhaps one of the other nations couldn't pay a debt, and the Frontier decided to take what they were owed by force in the form of land.  The other saw the opportunity to join forces and the Western Coalition was born.

How does the Fourtune Region come in to play here?(Is that a typo?  Is it Fortune or Fourtune?)  I am imagining it as a sort of virgin territory in a war torn world, who is resisting the push by the other three powers to colonize it.  The other three, meanwhile, are probably fighting over this virgin land.

So what kind of mechs are we working with?
