Kaiser is right. You will start off with basicly 200-300 in numbers depending on the overall growth of your race. You cannot claim specific regions, especially not such a huge area on the map for yourself. You start with but a single settlement.
I advice you to carefully read the OOC to be fully aware of how this RP will start. If you feel like I haven't explained it well enough, I'll be glad to add more information!

Also, Kaiser, I like your intro post but it's super duper long! All you really had to do was choose dwarves :P the massive background can go here in the character section! Although I wont discourage you from writing these posts, you obviously put a lot of thought and inspiration into this. Well done.
Oh and... How many men, women and children? If any children at all, that is.

[b]Edit:[/b] Also ultikana can you specify the averages, weaknesses and strengths of the minotaur? Their growth, tech, etc?

[b]Edit 2:[/b] Kaiser, when you mean tundra, do you really mean the eastern peninsula and not the western one? Seeing as east is leaf-tree and grass plains while west is pineforest and hills.
