[quote=@Flagg] [quote=@Forest Bandit] [quote=@Commodore Robot] If someone would like to make a consolidated map of the world that would be swell. I can make one as well but I'm rather busy at the moment so it will take some time. Just don't bother including Faze anywhere for reasons that are self evident [/quote] I can give it a crack. I'll only add the nations that have been moved to the characters tab, to avoid me confusing myself. If anyone else wants to do it, go ahead. MAP WAR I say. @Flagg So, lets iron out some framework. - Chee and Dratha have had their fair share of war in the past, but these conflicts have mostly been isolated to the locales, and have been rather small affairs. - Dratha numerical and technological superiority has driven the Chee northwards over the space of say, 500 years. This has left many ethnic Chee stuck in Dratha's northern territories. Rather than slaves, let's just say people of Chee descent face a bit of racism, and are treated by some as second class citizens? Enough to irk the Chee Nation, but not enough for it to want to war over. - Sun Worshippers vs the Sons of Night; although there is a certain level of mutual respect for opposing Gods, which has so far prevented any full scale holy war. That looks good to me, but I'm happy to compromise. To be honest, I can work with anything, so add/change what you want/need to :) [/quote] The only things I would add: - slavery is definitely permitted in [i]some[/i] parts of the Consanguinity, and some Chee are likely enslaved along with other non-Drathan peoples as well as some Drathans themselves (losers in local wars, etc). This state of affairs has been the status quo in Dratha for a long time, so while it may have caused wars in the past, it is unlikely to be a fresh outrage to the Chee. In other places there is likely a large Chee population- especially in the cities- where they face the sort of discrimination you mention. If you're totally against any Chee being enslaved, no problem. - It would be cool for there to have been like a Chee Attila in distant ages, who conquered much of the Dratha and who is still sortve a boogeyman/national hero in the southern continent, depending on one's persuasion. Perhaps this was the full scale holy war you mentioned? Like have one semi-mythical great war between the peoples, perhaps with the Chee winning spectacular victories, and then the history since has been one of slow Drathan success in pushing them back north. I feel like that fits the character of both nations nicely. Religious diffusion and the mutual coopting/borrowing of beliefs, cults and rituals by both groups have since cooled the religious animosity and generated a certain level of mutual respect and recognition, especially in contrast to new northern faiths, but religious tension is still around in a more muted way. Work for you? [/quote] Works just fine :) For reference, Targul Hrung is the bogeyman you're after. The last Chee to have unified the tribes in a war of conquest and other grand things. Been dead five centuries, and the Chee have seldom risen to his greatness in recent memory. If you don't eat your oxen testicles like a good boy, Targul Hrung will come get you in the night! Well that's that then. Looking forward to this starting.
