Around a distant star orbits a gas giant, around that gas giant is a moon where water flows freely in streams, rivers, lakes, seas and oceans. Here the processes of chemistry have given rise of life and of natural selection have given rise to a rich and diverse biosphere with myriad species, one of which has developed its powerful brain to develop tools, advanced social behavior, agriculture and civilization. Across this moon's twelve continents hundreds of civilizations have emerged. They often don't get along.
