Off the coast of Creta within a few hours sailing distance is a large island made mostly of sharp, jagged cliffs that peak into small mountains. Because of the dangerous coastline and the mountains that surround them, Carraig is able to keep itself rather secluded from the rest of the world as few ships feel like navigating to get to the few safe ports, giving them quite a good advantage to keep themselves safe from invaders. In ancient times, the people of the island were separated into large warring tribes, only coming together slowly over time as they began to find a niche for themselves in working for other countries as mercenaries to pad their armies. The Creig have built up a long and glorious reputation as being fierce warriors and tacticians, known for their tenacity in battle and policies against taking prisoners or leaving survivors. Swearing allegiance to none, Carraig has learned to survive solely on trade as the world moves to more civilized times, the majority of the country's populace working in blacksmithing, engineering and mechanics that contribute to the small nation's exports. With the world growing tense once more due to invasions and issues on the mainland, most of the population is wondering if they will keep their neutrality and carry on with their exports, resume sending battalions of mercenaries to other armies for pay, or if they, too, will be dragged into the struggles. At present, Carraig is at the forefront of most technological advances -- with the exception of weaponry -- having achieved stable space travel in the year 2016, after numerous earlier test flights.
