Alright: new month, that means new topics to vote on for May. Reply with the letter corresponding to your vote in the comments below. Voting ends at 11:59 PM, April 19th.

A) Takara - A Brief History: An overview of the history of the Altrichs vam Takara, from its heavily contentious time of origin to its current status as a Great Power of the Infinite Sea.

B) Trade and Commerce: A description of the major trade routes in the Infinite Sea, as well as an overview of which power imports and exports what, and how this shapes their foreign policy.

C) Instructions for Travellers and Traders Pt I: Published by the Takaran Ministry of Barbarian Affairs, the Instructions for Travellers and Traders serves primarily as a factbook to give Takarans going abroad a basic understanding of the Infinite Sea's states. Part 1 includes the four Great Powers: Takara, Kian, M'hidyos, and Antar.

D) Garing, Gutierrez, and Truscott - A History: A brief history of GG&T, from its humble beginnings during the Petty Kingdoms era, through its establishment as a major armsmaking firm during the Wars of Unification, to its current status as the Unified Kingdom's largest gunmaker.

E) The Early History of the Unified Kingdom: An overview of the late Petty Kingdoms era, the Wars of Unification, and the establishment of Tierra as an independent naval and merchantile power. 

F) Hunter of Wolfswood, His Life: Printed en-masse, this pamphlet was printed and distributed by those backing the effort to raise Sir Enrique d'al Hunter, Viscount of Wolfswood, to the status of Sainted Martyr.

G) Antagia's Rebellion: An overview of the last years of the Octovian Empire, the rising of the houses of Antagia and Khorobirit, and the final fall of the Heirs of Saint Stanislaus.

H) The Saintly Martyrs: An overview of the worship of the Saints in the Northern Kingdoms, including biographies of selected Sainted Martyrs, iconography, and cosmology.

I) The Curtain of Storms - A Primer: Very little is known about the Curtain of Storms, mostly because there have been no successful attempts to explore it. This pamphlet, printed by the Halford Foundation, ties together shards of fact with webs of speculation, but that is more than what most can offer.

J) Old Calligia - What We Know: The Kian poet J'eanne Lieux once said that "The only thing we know about Old Calligia are the lies". While not entirely true, very little of the long-gone northern realm has survived. This essay from the University of San'heu attempts to put together the pieces.

K) Warfare Then and Now: A relatively broad overview of the history of war and warfare in the Infinite Sea, taken from a part of a Callindrian children's book.
