Welcome to the sixth week of Dawnpowers! Week 6 ends at 23:59 GMT on Sunday, the 9th of July. Please send your applications, techposts and expansions before then!

In the post-crisis era, new hegemons wield their sway over an increasingly interconnected world.

The *Qet-Šavaq continue to reign supreme in *Xanthea, as their qanats allow their influence to spread widely. New contacts threaten to upset the peace, however, even as the Qet tie Xanthea ever closer together.

In Tritonea, the Kemithātsan state of Narhetsikobon has grown, innovating new forms of warfare and statecraft. Meanwhile, Kemithātsan influence remains strong upon the Yelu, Serengeri, and Arhada.

In Gorgonea, the Aluwa increasingly wield influence: spreading their culture and practices both within Gorgonea and abroad.
