September 2015 Challege: The Bankers Dance

[Diamond]

The years before the Great Guild War was a time of intrigue, when the four great banking Houses - the Cappadova, the Staravo, the Danici, and the Valdrid - engaged in a shadow war that, in some ways, was even more devastating than the actual war that followed. Each House had its tentacles of commerce and politics sunk deep into most of the city-states of the Saradan Peninsula and the Danshiel lands to the south of the Serpentine. In those days, the various Doges, Dukes, and Princes were puppets, moved by strings of finance, bribes, and blackmail.

I wanted to make sure I had a shot of getting this done before posting anything, so here's the first part. Next up will be city placement and borders.
