Grearland

Grearland is a small island nation located off the south coast of The Midland Plain. It has been an Imperial State since 2666 IC and is the primary exporter of coal, the main fuel for most Steam-powered machinery within the Empire. This strategic asset has made Grearland a valuable and sought-after territory for centuries.
However, in 3268 IC, the Grearland Revolt began as a people's uprising against Imperial rule. It started after Imperial forces were used as strikebreakers at the Grearland coal mines during the Season of Rain, leading to civil unrest and widespread rebellion. Many Grearlanders took up arms to fight against the Imperial aggressors, leading to a heated struggle for independence that is still ongoing today.
The Grearland Revolt is a significant event in the history of The Central Empire, as it challenged the established power structures and brought attention to the systemic inequalities faced by the people of Grearland. It has also inspired other anti-Imperial movements throughout the Empire, leading to a broader reevaluation of the Empire's policies and practices.
Despite the ongoing conflict, Grearland remains a vital part of the Empire's economy, and its coal exports are crucial to the functioning of the Empire's steam-powered infrastructure. The struggle for independence continues to shape the political and social landscape of both Grearland and the broader Empire.
