Two groups of people descended from the same original group. However, they have adopted different customs and religions and absolutely hate each other. Hot heads on both sides continually lead to an escalation of tensions. One guy tries to make his royal fiance happy by massacring people in a religious site. This leads to the other side killing the Queen's brother. Needless to say, the queen is not happy, and leads another attack. This goes on and on. The people have so much animosity that they just can't get along. Religion is very important, but becomes a differentiator rather than a uniter.
Meanwhile, there is a quest that has gone on to map and find key sites. Alas, violence and religious fanaticism continues to get in the way. There are also spies that are weeded out by their ability to read text, as well as a girl who sneaks on to a ship disguised as a man. And then there is the assassin who becomes an informant. It all makes for a very crazy society.
