Grand Union

The Grand Union is an alliance consisting of all human-led nations of Caledon. The Grand Union was formed in 895 because of the threat that the Necromancer posed to all the human nations of the known world and was instrumental in their defeat. Originally conceived as a temporary military alliance, the Necromancer Wars lasted longer than the founders of the Union anticipated, and by the time the Wars were over, so much rebuilding needed to be done that the Union continued to be necessary. The Grand Union has persisted to the current day, though ceased to be a necessity around a century after its creation. The Grand Union still facilitates trade and exchange of ideas between its members, as well as informally enforcing a mutual peace, the so-called Grand Peace, which most advocates cite as reason enough to justify its continued existence.
