## **History**

At the turn of the 20th century, the Kingdom of Albion's new royal air force, commonly known as the Air Fleet, created a dramatic shift in the balance of global power. With its monopoly on a substance called Cavorite and the Air Fleet at its command, the Kingdom of Albion became the greatest world power since the Roman Empire.

However, a revolution called the London Revolution split the kingdom into East and West, with the London Wall separating the Kingdom of Albion from the Commonwealth of Albion. The revolution started when the proletariat of Albion grew angry at their country's ruling class for largely ignoring their plight, sparking the London Revolution in which the lower classes attempted to overthrow the royal family. Eventually, the two sides reached a stalemate, and the wall was erected through the middle of London, splitting Albion into two nations. Ten years later, London became the front line of a secret war between the nations' spies.
