Kaliszians and Tornians are very similar to one another due to the fact that before the great infection there were many Joinings between them. It brought great peace and prosperity to both Empires, making them strong and feared by others for it was known if you attacked one you attacked both.

Then a relative of the Kaliszian Emperor assisted Emperor Lucan in hiding his crimes against his female offspring in exchange for a better trade treaty and the prosperity the Kaliszians had taken for granted died away with nearly all their food bearing plants. Soon the strong, proud Kaliszians were reliant on the Tornians for feeding their people.
