[b]Domain(s)[/b]
[i]Storms and the Desert[/i]

[b]Domain Ability: [/b]
Gnagrul has the ability to call a storm, and roil the earth. When he call's a storm, he spends an extended amount of time preparing it, before sending it off. Spending three to four days to prepare a storm will make a decent thunderstorm. Spending a whole week will make a severe thunderstorm. Spending two weeks can create a deadly gust of wind, and lightning that he can focus better to hit certain objects. If he spends a whole month preparing a storm, he can create a disaster that can annihilate an entire landscape. The drawback is that when he prepares a storm, he must concentrate and exert his own power. 

To roil the earth, he expends a great deal of his strength to manipulate a single tectonic plate. He can shove it, pull it, push two of them together, or even tear one in two, creating a whole new plate. Like creating storms, it takes a greater deal of his strength. After pushing a plate, he is completely exhausted, and will be unable to act until he regenerates strength.

[b]Common Appearance:[/b] A Saytr with glowing eyes, red hair, a large beard, long white fangs, and the tail of a scorpion. Engraved in his left upper body are forks of white lightning. When he becomes angered, the lightning begins to shoot out from his body. 

He wears black iron shoulder pads, and carries a single butcher sword.

[b]Personality:[/b] Like the Desert, he is rugged and harsh. Like the Storm, he is quick to anger, and when he is, he lay's waste to all the world around him. 

[b]Direct or Indirect:[/b] Direct

[h3]Hamaara[/h3]

[b]Flag:[/b] An dot in the middle of an oval, meant to represent an eye. From the top of the oval, three lines go upward, with one line in the middle, and both lines on either side of it slightly shorter. Underneath the oval, a line goes horizontally, touching the bottom of the eyelid.

[b]Location on Map:[/b] The desert on that one fragmented continent to the west of the mainland, the part that is just barely touching it.

[b]Geographical Info:[/b] Long ago, Hamaara was a proud and prosperous nation, until it was invaded from the east. The island then cracked off the mainland, as was Gnagrul's doing.

[b]Capital City:[/b] Ruk, a city built into a massive volcanic mountain. The actual city itself is built at least two hundred miles from the top of the volcano. There are two layers to Ruk, the lowland and the mountainside. The lowland is a younger part of the city, coming to be as the population of the city expanded. It is made of districts of stone houses and tents, surrounded by a large stone wall. This is the poorer layer of Ruk, as it is mostly composed of refugee's to Gnagrul's constant rage. The mountainside is the older part of Ruk, made of hundreds of carved out caves, all surrounding the mountain. The mountainside is in a spiral formation, so any attackers that make it past the lowland will have to scale in the mountainside's built in path, meeting more and more resistance as they climb. The ruler of Ruk, and all of Hamaara, is Ajul.

Long ago, however, a child on the mountain was found by royal scouts, adjacent to a geyser. He was raised by Ajul himself, and was named Loard. As time grew, Loard demonstrated a knack for stormcalling, and has grown more powerful and aggressive as time passed. Loard has continuously challenged his father for the throne, though has been defeated each time. Now, Loard is more powerful than ever, and his father Ajul is wise to take caution.

[b]Culture Description:[/b]
Hamaara has a strong worship for Gnagrul, out of fear of his wrath. Many have been stripped of their home villages for so much as dishonoring the vengeful god, resulting in mass destruction and death. For this reason, many either live in Ruk, or as Nomads. Much of Hamaara's desert is composed of Saytr's, though a few other Beast races exist, such as Naga and Gnolls. There's also a small population of Humans, though they serve as a slave caste, with no rights. 

[b]Military Description:[/b]

[b]Government Description:[/b] 
Hamaara is ruled by one leader, the Sultan. The Sultan has direct rulership over Ruk, though other territories within Hamaara are ruled by smaller chieftans. To maintain power in Hamaara, a Sultan must constantly intimidate his subordinates. For instance, if Razorlash falls begins building an army larger than other territories, the Sultan would most likely take Ruk's army to Razorlash falls, and thin down the size of Razorlash's army, by either crushing it or forcing some of it's soldiers to join his. The next Sultan is typically determined by bloodline, though there are many rules should a Sultan die without an heir, or with multiple ones:
   1. Only a Satyr may become Sultan
   2. Only one born in Ruk may become Sultan
   3. If a Sultan dies, and has fathered more than one child, the eldest is to be favored
   4. If a Sultan Dies, and has fathered more than one child, female's are unfavored
   5. If a Sultan Dies, has fathered more than one child, and a child not favored to claim the throne challenges the expected heir, they have every right.

Foraging

Pride of War

[b]Flaws:[/b]
Arguable Claims- Ajul's throne is challenged by his own son, Loard. Though the tension between the two has drawn a single drop of blood, either of the two may lash at the other at any moment.
Flawed Leader II- Within Ruk, much of the populace are taking sides. Some believe Ajul to be a proper Sultan, while many believe Loard is the future for Hamaara.
Depleted Lands 2 (Forest and Fertile Farmlands)
Biased Law- Satyr's are the favored race in Hamaara. Behind them are Gnolls and Naga's, who are treated somewhat unfairly. At the shortest end of the stick are humans, who are not protected by law, and commonly serve as slaves.
