Renaissance Italy is a political powder keg.

Backstabbing dukes, adventuring mercenary companies, alchemical wonders, and incredible wealth are mixed into an explosive concoction. Italian plutocrats vie for power and control, while envious eyes look on from larger neighbours. Diplomacy, influence, intrigue, and money are wielded as keenly as the lances of heavy cavalry. Welcome to Machiavelli’s Renaissance: where you will rewrite the history of Europe.

This version of Europe does look slightly different from ones you've heard about before. Families of cat-folk, lizard-folk and others lead the cities. Horse-folk have no need of riders to go into battle. In the east, the Holy Rodent Empire fends off the advances of the Otterman Empire. The Cult of the Sacred Egg holds sway from its seat in Rome. But make no mistake - the residents of this world are every bit as ruthless and cut-throat as their human counterparts.
