location location (as I imagine a bit of the rp will be flash-backy, and or they may return) 

The Ja'lan live on the isles and lands near the sea, and are renowned for their navy. They're usually in the sea, as much of what they need comes from there. 
the Ilim live in the plains, and tend to live underneath them, in cities not much unlike those depicted in fantasy games where dwarves live. They're an industrious people. 

Su'dims live in the south mountain range. Their royalty lives in a castle build on one of the tallest mountains they could find-they're the most religious, tied only by the Ja'lan, and claim that they need to be closest to the sky. They are known for the way they free-run from place to place with ease.  

lastly, the Ch'auth live in the northern mountains. They live on the tallest mountains in the world, and claim their god/dragon/thing lives in the volcanoes,where the old, weak,frail or condemned make a pilgrimage to die in peace. 

I'm imagining that among the 4 kingdoms, there is a land beyond the mountain ranges where those who are exiled- or just royals of "vanquished" families- go to hide. 

The default house relationships are as follows: 

Ja'lan& Ilim are like siblings 
Su'dims and ch'auth are archenemies (fighting over land since they were made) 
ja'lan and sudims get along peachy keen 
Ilim is neutral to Su'dims and ch'auth 
but we can change them. 

I imagine they get sent to the modern-day US- a stark change from the pre-industrial revolution tech (or dawn of the industrial revolution tech, in the case of the Ilim). 
I figure, the way memories are uncovered are split between the senses. one half of the pair gets sight, and smell exclusively, as the other gets taste and hearing exclusively, though touch is shared. Memories are brought about by items that either came into the world with them, or are almost identical to those items (in the case of food and some other things, I mean. cant eat gross expired food bleh; oh and also songs). 

I would imagine that they were tethered together loosely or something when they came to the new world (so they wouldn't be too separated), and that they speak a language different from every one else in the new world.

So, anyone want in? I can write male and female, any role. I'm at least semi-literate.
