The game will begin in the early summer 22 years after the defeat of Queen Ileosa Arabasti. At the Council of the Fallen Queen, Seneschal Neolandus Kalepopolis with the aid and support of the Heroes of Korvosa dissolved the previously established Monarchy and breaking with tradition formed the Republic of Korvosa. The current city is ruled by a triumvirate of elected Consuls drawn from the three parties/ factions that currently make up the Senate (of which there are 21 members). The factions are evenly divided between the merchants/nobles (money), the guilds/religious leaders (labor/faith), and the popular faction (drawn from citizens of Korvosa by lottery). The Korvosan Guard is the current military arm of the city and handles civilian and military protection for both the lands and the bay the city overlooks. Korvosa has been rebuilt over the last 22 years and has recovered both in population and structurally from the abuse it sustained under the rule of Queen Ileosa. Over half of the city had to be rebuilt due to the fires it sustained during the riots following the Queen's rise to power and the plague that followed. The City currently has a base tax rate of 15% with 10% of the revenue going to city upkeep and 5% going to the dwarves of Kaer Maga to pay back the loan that had been arranged to aid in the cities recovery. It is expected that this loan will be paid back in full within the next three years.
The city in now looking to expand into the surrounding lands and forests to the North and East and reclaim this area from the brigands and beasts that have moved into the area over the last 20 years.
