Updated with a color map. If anyone wants to start outlining a nation/ruler, post what you have in this thread and we can all discuss. Only things to keep in mind:

[list][*]The Rule of Cool, If you have a great idea outside of this outline or you just absolutely want to have it, we're going to use it.[/*][*]The Ikvari Empires influence was great, sympathizers still exist six centuries later.[/*][*]Religion is Polytheistic, although a somewhat popular monotheistic religion is emerging[/*][*]Technology is roughly equivalent to the age of Renaissance[/*][*]Use any inspiration for naming conventions from that era. Even if you want to travel outside Europe, just keep it consistant. I don't want any Tokugawa Ieysu's ruling over 'Black Wood' in 'Italia'.[/*][*]If your not sure, post it anyway we can talk about it.[/*][/list]
