The Concord

The Concord is an empire created when the Ravening War ended 20 years ago, one that would see power passed amongst the six kingdoms of Calorum CC E1·00:00:00. Caramelinda explains that each kingdom gives 20 percent of its taxes raised and a full half of its warriors at arms to the empire CC E1·01:22:49 CC E1·01:28:11. She says the arrangement is meant so that no kingdom would have the strength to war against another without the others being called by oaths to protect their ally, and calls the result the Pax Calorum CC E1·01:28:11. She says the emperor is Gustavo Uvano and that Candia has grown during his 20 years as emperor CC E1·01:22:49 CC E1·01:28:11.

The Concord, also called the Concordant Empire, is the empire formed 20 years ago after the Ravening War, and Comida is its capital CC E1·00:00:00 CC E3·00:56:19. Brennan says it levies 20 percent of the taxes of every other kingdom CC E3·00:56:19. Calroy tells the party that Liam is not the princess of a nation of the Concord but the son of a Duke in open rebellion CC E4·01:45:47. Annabelle says the Concord has existed only 20 years and that something like 80 or 90 percent of Calorum has given over fealty CC E5·00:57:56. Gustavo tells Amethar that the Cornucopian Council is the heads of state CC E5·01:11:23.

In CC_06 Brennan's recap says that with the crown passing to Duke Joren Jawbreaker in open rebellion, Candia is immediately withdrawn from the Concord and in fact at war with it CC E6·00:00:57. Lord Rufus Applebottom tells Liam "you are no longer a part of the Concord" CC E6·00:22:07. In CC_12 Brennan describes an Imperial banner of the Concord among the banners of the camp the party observes CC E12·00:08:47. The priests reciting the charges against Duke Joren Jawbreaker before his hanging include "Open war against the Concord of Calorum" CC E12·00:23:30 CC E12·00:23:06. Brennan shows a map of the troop movements of the Imperial Concord and the Ceresian military CC E12·02:04:57.
