Calradia: Imperial Age - Dragoon Edition mod for Mount & Blade: Warband

Welcome to Calradia, the year is 1717, and the smell of sulfur hangs in the air. Musket fire and cannonades echo across the land as Calradia is once again beset by war. Our story begins in the declining Calradian Empire of the 18th century, it's borders bombarded ceaselessly by countless enemies that surround them.

The Calradian Empire's territory recedes by the month, it's grip weakened by the continuing distrust of the current ruling dynasty who were placed on the throne after the last monarch perished without an heir. The Empire has only managed to avoid civil war through the tireless labour of diplomats and the iron-fist rule of the landed nobility. Loyalist levies are raised around the capital of Veluca, veteran Grenadier Guards steel themselves for combat, and mighty Culverins are built in the cannon foundries of the realm.

The Kingdom of Swadia was once the most opulent and powerful demesne in the Calradian Empire afforded the decadent title of Grand Duchy, but now it stands independent of the Imperial Dynasty after a swift and costly war of independence. With coffers full of gold, trade ships ships abound for the New World, and armies equipped with the newest weaponry available, the Swadians make ready for war!

The Vaegir Empire, a mighty force to be reckoned with, yearning to bear it's claws in battle once more. It's soldiers skilled in combat, boasting keen marksmen who pick off foes from afar, and battle-hardened veterans from countless frays with the Calradian Empire.

The Nordbund, once a minor vassal kingdom on the periphery of the Vaegir Empire, now a bustling martial electorate defended by professional soldiers who are tested in battle, tested by nature, and always stalwart and fearless in the face of death. After gaining their independence from the paws of the Vaegirs, they suddenly find themselves surrounded by the fiercest of foes.

The Kingdom of Silesia, a new force in the Calradian theater of war formed from the remnants of the Calradian Empire's shattered eastern plains. Distinct cavalrymen born of Swadian stock and skilled in horsemanship, dressed in dashing uniforms typical for those easterners who once stood under the Calradian banner against the fiercest nomad foe.

Nomadic Vaegirs known as the Cossavians have for decades been spilling out into the Steppes where Khuzait and Khergit once ruled, now it is home to fierce and swift horsemen who bring fire and sword to those who infringe on their freedom. The Cossavian horseman is the backbone of their army, but alongside deadly cavalry forces are fierce infantrymen skilled with muskets and sabers.
