==Description==
 
'''''House Marik (The Free Worlds League)''''' provides an overview of the history of the [[House Marik|Marik]] family and of the [[Free Worlds League]] up to [[3025]].
 
 
==Contents==
 
{{quote|''When the Civil War of [[3014]] was over, [[Captain-General of the Free Worlds League|Captain-General]] [[Janos Marik]] emerged triumphant.''
 
  
''But at what a cost...''
 
  
''Marik has lost his brother, his wife, and his confidence. The realm he rules, the [[Free Worlds League]], weakened by over two centuries of warfare with the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] and the [[Capellan Confederation]], is being torn apart by the diversity that was once its greatest strength.''
+
==Description==
 
+
The ''House Marik Sourcebook'' provides an overview of the history of the [[Marik]] family and of the [[Free Worlds League]] up to [[3025]].  
''Yet the winds of change blow throughout the [[Inner Sphere]]. Marik has entered into an alliance with the [[Draconis Combine]] and his former enemies the Capellans, an alliance that may tip the balance of power for centuries to come.''
+
 
 
''This [[ComStar]] report on [[House Marik]] and the Free Worlds League includes dozens of full-color illustrations depicting League personalities, daily life, and military regalia. Classified documents on League and various League factions' [[Free Worlds League Military|armed forces]], military structure, and political intrigues are also provided. In addition, the large history chapter stretches from the initial unification of the [[Marik Commonwealth]], the [[Principality of Regulus]], and the [[Duchy of Oriente]] to form the League through House Marik's consolidation of power and its position today as leader of the now divided Free Worlds League.''}}
