Consortium

Considered the first international alliance to emerge during the Age of Reclamation, the Tryvyum Trade Consortium consists of the Braided Tribes of Morydal, the Eternal Library of Cogys, and the Fountain of Purity of Ohedyn. Together, these three nations have been able to share their prosperity and rise above mere survival in this new world. Feats of engineering such as the Floatdocks that facilitate the exchange and trade of goods throughout the Tryvyum Sea as well as beneath it, the Rushfall Facility that powers the lifts from the Floatdocks to the city of Amyhra sitting on the cliffs above, and the towering structures of the Consulate and Lawspire are among just a few of what this alliance has accomplished since its formation with many more planned to make the island of Okanu all the safer for its civilized inhabitants.

Such an achievement is not without complications, however. Instead of becoming a joint nation, the Consortium began to evolve into its own state that cooperated with the other three nations. This has placed it in a precarious state where it needs the trade of the three nations to sustain its industry and quality of life in Amyhra but also needs to remain neutral or risk one of its societal pillars being removed. Without the technology of Cogys, the gems, metals, and Shards from the mines of Morydal, and the crops, herbs, and spices of Ohedyn, Amyhra would likely be unable to sustain itself, at least not for long. Furthermore, many believe that one or more of the nations revoking their trade would also result in a war, especially from Cogys as their control of key technologies such as the Powercoil, Seafarer, and nearly all Shard-based technologies, give them a significant advantage.

Despite this tension, the Consortium has continued to conduct its trade in general unease, though many believe that the prosperity of the alliance far outweighs what any single nation could gain if they decided to take full control. This does not prevent the Consulate, the political center of the Consortium, from roaring with arguments and debate over policy and trade, but substantial change rarely results, resigning it to more of a theatrical performance than a discourse over ethics and legislation. The Consort, the law enforcement branch of the Consortium, as well as the Coalition, its military branch, have taken on a similar stance, being prepared for a significant conflict that most believe will likely never come.
