 * Chaos/Order Magic (Few mages, but relatively powerful)
 * Steampunk-ish tech level
 * Middling humor.

In the Kingdom of Yvonne, things are going pretty well. The Edward IV Railway System has just been completed, making it possible at last to get across the country in just a few days, not the weeks or months it took before. Every day, another expedition goes forth into the uncharted northern tundra, spreading civilization and uncovering new resources. And the Academy of Magic is making great strides in exploring the frontiers of arcane knowledge.

The goddess Yvonne, however, has not created an era of complete safety. The Chaos Guild is raising some trouble on the western border, though the Shield of Order has them contained for now. Diplomatic relations with the Revelry Union, to the southeast, are showing much strain, with accusations of theft levelled at both sides. Worse, Princess Erna has vanished, leaving King Gyre with no heir, and rumors say that the king himself has fallen ill.

As the kingdom stands on a knife edge between prosperity and ruin, a group of old friends meet once more. Most of them have not seen each other for several years, so the Festival of Stars--held once every ten years--was a perfect excuse to come together, share stories, and make plans.
