Four Worlds

A widespread term for the four Sword Worlds of:

• Colada
• Hrunting
• Joyeuse
• Tizon.

They are also known as the First Colonies. The name refers to their common heritage as the four worlds colonized shortly after the Founders arrived at Gram, using escort ships to keep in touch. The colonization project was a favorite of the navy element among the Founders, and the makeup of the colonies was heavily weighted towards navy personnel. Also, the small size of the populations necessitated a more balanced gender mix than on Gram. Consequently the cultures that developed on the First Colonies differed from the one that developed on Gram. Historically the Four Worlds have often sided with each other in political matters, especially after the formation of the Sword Worlds Confederation.
