About Fife[]
Fife is the most powerful of the five major continental regions of the planet Sark. Governed by the Great Squire of Fife, the continent of Fife was the de facto political center of Sark. Its Squire, the wealthiest and most ambitious of the five rulers, used its economic dominance—controlling a third of Florina's land and predominant mills and shipping—to spearhead efforts to end centuries of continental autonomy and unite Sark under his own leadership. This centralization was a key point of contention among the Squires. The continent's capital city was the site of the critical intercontinental conferences where the crisis of the missing Spatio-analyst and the threat to Florina were debated. Fife's aggressive policies and the revelations during these meetings ultimately led to the undermining of Sark's kyrt monopoly and the planet's political transformation.
