The Brestian surprise attack resulted in a brutal conflict known as "The Three-Year War." The war's outcome was essentially decided at the Baleares Naval Battle, in which a weak Vespanolan "Red" Navy miraculously defeated the mighty Brestian fleet. Nearby Vespanola relieved the country's debts, and in the process annexed all of Oporuto's holdings in Orpesia and Granado Espada.įollowing the annexation, Vespanola was attacked by their mortal enemy to the northwest, Brestia. Oporuto threw all their economic resources into the development of the new world, and spent their country into bankruptcy. The world was named Granado Espada after its discoverer. Their trade with resource-rich Katai had been cut off by the armies of Targa, Illier, and Vespanola to the East, and to the West they were blocked by the dreadful Dark Sea.Īn Oporutan explorer named Ferrucio Espada ventured across the Dark Sea in search of an ocean route to Katai, and instead he discovered a new world. Oporuto was starving, and in need of an economic uplift. The story begins in the old world of Orpesia, with the country of Oporuto.
