“The events which transpired 5000 years ago; five years ago or five minutes ago, have determined what will happen five minutes from now; five years from now or 5,000 years from now. All history is a current event.” - John Henrik Clarke

Welcome to al-Mari Ifriq, a small city dreaming of its borders to reach the coast. Its dusty, unpaved roads and small districts set the unofficial borders, providing reminders of the minor squabbles initiated by surrounding maritime companies that vie for control of each other, the city, and the entire region of Odongo-Mauharim. Thus sets the grand African tale of Moorish Company Bosses, corsairs, and kingdoms involved in all manner of legitimate and illicit politics.
Join the adventure of three African states. The first, a city ruled by corsair politics. The second, a Kingdom on the brink of war. The last, a nomadic nation marked for enslavement. Corsairs. Revolutionary warriors. Merchants, slavers, and gangsters.
“...of every associate, of every enforcer, of every soldier, captain, and chief of districts, I am their chief.” - Ameer Las el-Behar, Beylerbey of The Griffin Company
