You are
Tengor Khenbish! You are the fresh new tribe chief of the Kallvol clan, after the death of your father in the battle of the Elysean Pass. Your advisor babbles things on the state of your clan, before presenting you a scroll, which makes things much clearer.

Stability: -
Army: -
Treasury: ++
Population: =
While your clan is tired from their constant migrations, you were able to seize good loot from the pillages of the Mayikprolollan and the Kathani province, leaving you as a quite wealthy chief.
The Kallvol clan is itself part of the Javolki Tribes, which makes the most population of the Imperrech, a loose coalition of tribes under the Javolki chief Cenware "Witch-Breaker".
A larger-than-life leader, Cenware united most of the tribes living in the deep continental forests, convincing them to leave their ancestral homelands as the Fog started pouring from the cold lands in the north. Since you were a child, you were part of the biggest migration of the history, crossing through the forests, evading the Fog as it came close.
As Cenware kept leading the refugees army to the west, you finally arrive to the Black Mountains, and its biggest pass, held by the Aversarian fortress: the Northern Gate. It was crossed without bloodshed, as none was manning the gate, letting the tribes pouring into the Kathani province.
Indeed, the empire stopped to exist about a century ago, after suffering from a civil war wich saw the two most powerful magis of their generation face each other, using devastating spells that killed half of the imperial population (and probably caused the Fog too, for what you know). Since the dissolution of the empire, the former imperial territory is the battleground of various warlords, magis, ex-governors and legionary legates. Those in the Kathani provinces had no interest holding an unused fortification on the frontier... Until it was too late.
In the northern part of Kathani, Cenware sacked the Mayikprolollan, the empire's university to learn and study magic, looting its knowledge and earning his nickname "Witch-Breaker" along the way. While rampaging through Kathani, he fred the slaves, for the empire was a slave state, claiming Aversarian purity and superiority, while enslaving or destroying the rest.
Now, the Imperrech stays at a crossroad. Cenware won another brilliant victory at the Elysean Pass in southern Kathani, crushing the coalition of aversarian warlords and remnants, destroying any hope of recovery for the empire and opening the door to the Elezean peninsula, original homeland of Aversaria and holding the empire's former capital, Oraispol.
To the west is the northern Shattered Coast and its many, many islands big or small, all occupied by the aversarian insular cousins.
The Black Mountains keep going to the north, until it leaves place to the Chevalien peninsula and its Marcher Lords. For now, this strategic intersection is controlled by a peculiar aversarian warlord, which call himself the "Black Sun", leading a coalition of northern legions' remnants and native mountain barbarians.
To the east is the Northern Gate, and beyond that, the Foglands, and who know what inside.
The tribes are divided. Most want to stay in Kathani. A strong minority want to keep following Cenware into Elezean, while few others want to try their luck in the west or the north.
A) We stay and dwell in Kathani, it is for the best
B) Let's follow Cenware to the south. Elezean has good fertile lands
C) To the north! We will challenge this "Black Sun"
D) Let's take ships and move west. These many islands seems promising
