The years had been tough, and the people grew weak, until a noble youth took to the throne. He was kind, gracious, strong and merciful. He organized the tiny city state for years, staying out of the petty wars the other kingdoms delightlyfully partook in on a yearly basis wasting resources and man power. The king took pride in science, and in doing so developed weapons far superior to their neighbors, they used sword and shield and primitive musket. Where he now had basic pre-packaged shot, they could load their own flint lock devise and fire much quicker than the former.

Soon after they began testing and building constructs of war. Massive machines that required huge boilers and engines to power most were the size of a large single story house. They were armored with thick iron, and outfitted with large cannons. They lumbered slowly with up to six legs crawling across the earth, always infantry flanking their sides. The first kingdom fell within a day, they marched straight to the capitol, gave them a set of demands, promptly answered with a volly of musket fire and in response they advanced the war machines. The war constructs leveled the the walls and clambered through the holes they made. They brought down the kings keep with no troubles at all.

It raged on for two more years slowly taking each kingdom. Until all six kingdoms were successfully wrangled under the banner of the young king. And from here the steam collation was formed.

The city had been built long ago, designed against siege. It was a massive circle each ring could be used to see ones wealth. The closer to city center, the more powerful and wealthy the person was. At the absolute center was the hub of power. A mighty fortress, designed against ancient catapults, siege, and almost every natural disaster. But today it mostly served as a home for the royal family, and the steam guards homebase of operation ( Though officers and veteran NCOs were permitted.)

King Charles sat in a beautifully decorated room. Made of creamy white marble, expensive weavings and paintings adorned the walls. There was a silky black rug stretched out before him leading to the entrance. The throne he currently sat in was made of gold, bronze, silver and steal. The cushions made of black felt, and stuffed with down making a very comfortable seat, but it mattered not how nicely decorated, or designed the throne room was Charles simple disliked conducting business in such a manor and would often stand, shake hands and great who ever had business to do with him.

He wore a eloquent suit, tailored to perfection, it was all dark dark grey. Except for the small Pocket square which was violet. He stood slightly taller than most men in his country, he had a very athletic build from years of sporting, and other things of that nature. He kept a well groomed mustache and side burns, his brown hair perfectly parted to the left. He had a squared jaw and chisled features. Many women found him very attractive and as such had found himself an equally pleasing wife. Though she was no where to be found at the moment.

He snapped out of his small personal journey to another realm he stood and shook the hands of a very dirty looking merchent. "Morning your majesty, I'm here to ask about a petition for a guild to open up within the city. I believe it will bring much trade and honor to our country." The mans voice was raspy and seemed as dirty as his person. "Well then sir, please let me hear it." He asked with feigned interest. He often would just go through the motions of this meet and greet. It happens every day until Noon. "Ah yes, your majesty will be most pleased, I am looking g at starting a magic, exploration guild. We have ten people signed up for it thus far. All our paper work is in order. We wish to study magic so someday we can all use it or unlock its potential energy!" Finally he had something of worth upon his lap."I'll have to read up on it myself and inspect each members sheet. What would the countires profit be then?" He always was looking to expand his own pockets a little. Often times dabbling in Business ventures and such. "We would give everything to the government. We just want sanction to work for you." He cocked a brow at this " We would get rights and profjtst from inventions? " the man nodded with little eloquens"We just want you to contract us, a modest sum of money is all we want to help fuel our guild, we have no wish for the products we will make."Ah the catcher, they wanted to build weapons. "I'll have to see about it. You'll be contacted in three days with a desicion. " the man bowed and parted, he sat the rest of the day dealing with similar people. Finally at noon he left his chair and ventured out to find his lovely wife. "Oh wife of mine, what do you say we go for an outing with the boy? Maybe visit the country side in the new walker?" He had snuck up behind her giving her a loving kiss on the cheek. She was sitting on a small bench reading, facing out a massive window which overlooked the city.

Alexandra, was quite beautiful, she had straw colored hair, and bright green eyes. Her features were soft and smooth. She filled out what ever dress she wore and had a lovely curved figure. Her lips were not too plumb but not thin. She had a slightly up turned nose though it was small. She looked up to him smiling lightly "Husband, you know we have things to take care of here. But it has been a bit since we had any sort of ball or party. We could even Invite over some of our neighboring kingdoms? I do wish get better aquianted with them the idoriens of course, maybe some Orsini? Or maybe just to all the continental nations?" He nodded slightly and kissed her cheek again "I'll get the arrangements started love." With that he dissapeared down the hall way calling a Butler to send out letters to each nation that would allow an outside currior to enter. "Have it expressed that we're hosting a party with food of course and the following night we'll have a small business meeting if they so wish too" the man nodded and carried out his task.
