The Earl of Shirewood, a small principality tucked away underneath the forest nation of the Woodland Raccoon Federation. A dastardly man and hoarder of the rare and valuable Divine Machinery.

He plans to use the race this year (the 139th Year of the Age of Steam & Mana) as cover for his most evil scheme: to utilize a weapon constructed of Divine Machinery to overthrow the New Pantheon of Aurania and reinstate rule by the eldritch being Entropy.
