HOMEWORLD:
Draon.
The planet Draon is a planet only slightly bigger than earth, caught just inside the goldilocks zone. It is covered in light blue oceans and two supercontinents but no other landmasses. The western supercontinent; Testros, was where Humanity developed first on this planet alone. The Eastern supercontinent; Alora, was where the Drao developed alongside Humans.

SUBSEQUENT COLONIES: N/A

Civilisation Description

CIVILIZATION DESCRIPTION:

The planet of Draon is populated by two different species, the Drao and the Humans.

DRAO: The Drao are vampire like Humanoids who feed from blood and meat but nothing else as plants and vegetables alone can not sustain them. They are usually around 5.5 to 6.5 feet tall but this can vary as the Drao are very diverse. They have three skin types, a pale white, a light blue or a light purple. In the past this was a reason for prejudice and racism amongst the Drao as the pale white colour was rare (found in only 20% of all Drao). The Drao can naturally have most hair colours except pure white or orange at birth. They have fangs that can extend from the gums which they use too drink from and tear up meat. They are in general faster and stronger than Human's but they do not possess super speed or super stregnth. The females are stronger and faster than the males of the species and are naturally born much more often (85:15 ratio of females to males). Due to this the Drao have seen Matriarchal societies since the very first civilisations on the planet. Drao are naturally aggressive and confrontational, they also have little regard for lesser life than there own as they believe they are superior to most life.

HUMANS: The Human's are usually 5 to 6 feet tall but this can very and in some cases Humans are born very short or very tall. They can live on meat like the Drao but also vegetables and plants which come in abundance on Testros. They can be born with pale white skin or lighter shades to dark skin and skin colours mixed between the two. Naturally can come with blonde hair, ginger hair, brown hair and black hair. Humans are most of the time Weaker and slower than Drao. When the Drao and Humans joined together, the Humans were given injections that cut down male birth rates to the same as Drao birth rates (75:25 Female to Male) and they integrated into the Matriarchal society. The Humans or Draon are usually less aggressive and more likely to try and find peaceful methods of ending conflict than the Drao. They possess the red blood that the Drao crave and need.

HISTORY:
The history of the people of Draon is measured with the dating system that used BU and AU ( Before and after unification). Both of the species evolved around the same time, 3000 BU give or take a few years. One the western continent Testros the Humans evolved by themselves and created there own great nations. On the eastern continent Alora, the Drao evolved with the Humans and became the predators of the land. They never formed into one great nation and instead over hundreds of years formed into tribes of nomads. By the year 2000 BU Humans on Alora were treated as animals and were mostly domesticated or killed as food. The Drao formed a religon and worshipped the godess Lilith who left her teachings behind in a holy book. Most tribes who didnt follow the religon were killed off by the tribes who did as the holy book preached that all Drao should be together as one great species. The holy book also taught that Humans were simply a food source to the Drao and should be treated as such. The Drao on Alora formed one great nation whose name shall not be spoken of any more.

800 years passed and the Humans on Testros were flourishing. They had built great cities and cultures and were thriving greatly. Technology was at the level of the dark ages and wasnt held back by religon. On Alora, it was a very different story. Due to the harsh treatment of Humans and reckless killing the Drao population was starving. They needed more Humans. In the year 1200 BU, the Drao first embarked from Alora in search of more food.

First contact between the Humans of Testros and the Drao was in 1189 BU. The only fifty boats in the world pulled onto the shores of the great western continent and met the great Humans of Testros. The Drao were scared by such a unified and advanced Humanity that they fleed at the first sign of aggression and went home to alert the queen at the time, Queen Nyx. They arrived in 1187 BU and brought with them news of a new abundance of food, but also a great threat to the Drao. Almost immediately war was declared and the process of building ships begun. They built ships, weapons and armour for 20 years until every able woman that could fit on the boats was on the boats. The year they pulled up on Testros shores for the second time was 1165 BU and this sparked the beggining of the Religous wars.

These wars were bloody and brutal and lasted for 1165 years. Technology advanced too the level of earths technology in 2016 (excluding nuclear weapons) in the year 200 BU. The last 200 years of the war were the bloodiest. Both species were killing eachother off and it looked like the war end with no winners. This all changed in 3 BU. Some people say it was the second coming of Lilith, which is the most accepted theory. Others say it was a Drao posing as her, trying to end the war which had raged far too long. Despite divided opinion everyone agrees that this is what ended the war. Lilith returned to the planet, to her people, and preached peace and equality. It was an uneasy alliance, but the Drao and Humans could not say no to god. The Drao had allways worshipped Lilith and now their faith was stronger. The Humans were close to collapse, and thanks to this god or whatever she was, had survived. Humanity joined the church of Lilith and worshipped her too. This was in the year 0 BU, or 2500.

Three years passed and the Humans and Drao had not fought since. There was still tension and hatred between the two but they learned to cooperate, for Lilith and for the planet. They rebuilt together and soon learned that allthough they would both do well on their own, they worked better together. Mixed Human and Drao society advanced further than both peoples ever thought possible. In the next 400 years they lived together. Laws dicated that both races were equal, although obviously there were some differences. Humans were required to give blood every three days to sustain the Drao. Human male birth rates were cut down so that they could properly fit within the Drao society. When a drao commits a crime, they are imprisoned or killed. When a Human commits a crime, they are imprisoned or put into slavery. The world is under the rule of Queen Emith in modern day. A fair but strong ruler. Now the year is 400 AU or 2900, and the people of Draon want expand.

Sorry I haven't got the ledgers up. Valentine's Day weekend plus a very romantically inclined fiancée makes this weekend a tough one for me! Give me a bit and I'll get them up!

Considering Voltus has the formula figured out you guys can probably get your ledgers figured out and I'll add them :D

Good luck in your quest for literacy. :)

[Theodorable]

OKAY.

This is what I need:

1. If you have been ACCEPTED but do not have a present ledger, PM me so I can get it up.

2. If you have posted an application but have been neither rejected or accepted, PM me as well.

The OOC is moving too fast for me to shift through it all.

EDIT
1. Added Kingdom of the Vaal ledger.
2. Added Isari Combine ledger.
3. Added New Arkadian Empire ledger.
4. Added Fioliun Empire.

Have I missed anything, anyone?

If the box by your empire's name is not checked it means you have not submitted a PM with your civilization's actions, please do so now. Then the next turn begins.
