Gevaldi, The

Formerly the imperial naval force, shortly after the founding of Newhaven, Admiral Gevaldi attempted a military coup. He was defeated, but took those loyal to him and a large fleet and seceded. He formed The Gevaldi, a dynastic military dictatorship known for its colonization, use of slavery and its bitter rivalry with Newhaven. They possess dominant naval might known as "The Iron Net," utilizing gunpowder, firearms and cannons. Their capital is Ironhold, set in a sprawling island chain called Legion. Their current leader is Admiral Commander Gevaldi VI.

Having the largest navy at the time of their formation, they were able to explore the region without significant resistance, quickly amassing wealth after exploiting the resources of many islands. A rebellion broke out 50 years ago, led by Native Sons - an indigenous islander resistance movement, but was quelled. Although relations with The Consortium are tense, they maintain trade.
