Shessara

The Princes' Confederacy of Shessara

Shessara is a massive, feudally-organized state. There are five Princes who each lead seperate states within Shessara. Due to complexities of feudal oaths, one Prince has lordship over the others, and is the High Prince and ruler of Shessara. What many foreigners do not understand is that the High Prince is not a king, merely a feudal overlord. He has no rights outside of feudal oaths, and so is technically not in complete control of his country.

The aristocracy has modified itself with genetic engineering and so are stronger, smarter, faster, less prone to disease, etc., than the common people. Aristocrats who don the hereditary battle-armor of Shessara are called Knights. They are trained to fight with the ton-heavy suits, the chain-halberds and heavy machine guns of the Shessaran armor.

In times of war, each man is commanded by his feudal overlord. There is no formal order in the military, and no real rankings outside of alliegance. In Shessara, all are trained to fight from an early age, due to the interior feudal warfare, and so Shessara's armies are massive and experienced. The only problem Shessara encounters is in supplying their armies- usually they end up 'foraging'- basically taking anything they can find.
