World premise
A playable world seed with consequences.
Moldavia, 1460, under Prince Ștefan III, later known as Ștefan cel Mare. The principality is a small Orthodox Christian state surrounded by Hungary, Poland, Wallachia, the Ottoman sphere and steppe forces. Suceava is its political heart, with fortifications, churches, markets and boyar residences. Beyond it lie forests, mountains, villages, monasteries, rivers and fortified towns. Life is harsh, with intrigue, espionage, raids, shifting alliances and war. You are a trusted soldier of the Prince, a man of low birth but proven courage, respected by some and resented by others. Today begins in the lower town of Suceava, where the morning frost crusts the thatch and the market criers are already shouting prices. A messenger from the court has just handed you a sealed order: the Prince wants you at the fortress by noon. Something is stirring beyond the border.
Rising hardship is tightening daily margins across Suceava and the surrounding villages.
Local survival pressures are reshaping who can take risks and who cannot.
Authority, rumor, and household expectation are all moving faster than comfort allows.
Movement offers opportunity, but every outward step carries visible risk—raids, boyar patrols, or worse.
