Next Move

The Treaty of Madrid had secured Elysea's rule over Pan-America, but Marshal Armand Roux knew that their work was far from finished. Iberia had ceded its claims, but other European powers still had footholds in the region—the Germania and the Dutch Republic. While they had not yet made moves against Elysea, it was only a matter of time before they turned their attention to the rapidly growing colonial empire.

From his command post in Fort Saint-Louis, Roux stood over a massive map of Pan-America, studying the regions that remained beyond Elysea's control. To the north, the Germania had established small but well-defended settlements along the coast, trading furs and resources. To the south, the Dutch held several fortified outposts, supported by their powerful navy. The Wallachia, meanwhile, controlled a few strategic ports, acting as middlemen in the transatlantic trade.

Elysea's path to complete dominance would not come without resistance.
