There are pockets of other races, such as humans and what not, but they are the minority. [hider=The Khoren] [img]http://image.naldzgraphics.net/2012/06/17-chamaro.jpg[/img] Avg. Lifespan: 400 years Birthrate: Low-medium The Khoren are a races of Lizardmen that reside within the mountains of Umbraisis. They are on average around 6'4, possess much denser muscle tissue then that of humans the makes them somewhat stronger and more durable, but they are rather slow and can't swim at all as a result. They are also cold-blooded, which is why their early settlements where located deeper inside of the mountains, in areas where thermal vents warmed the area. Their cave dwelling has also made their eyes somewhat sensitive to bright lights, though they have remedied that by creating tinted eyewear that blocks out enough light for them to see without difficulty. Their strength, durability, and size make it so that a Khoren is the last thing you'd want to go against in a Close quarters. The Khoren believe that there are spirits that reside in the bowels of the Earth and the infinite expanse of the sky. To this belief, they worship heir mountains as the place where both earth and sky meet, and they also believe that it is their duty to find a way to free the spirits of the earth from their prisons, whether they be of stone or of living matter, which is how their alchemical processes began. That belief has since been on the decline as the Khoren became more and more progress driven, but they always keep to some of their more sacred traditions and will always hold their mountains as precious places.

Lifespan: 40 years Birthrate: Very High, but so is their death rate The Navari are a race of humanity, usually having red or maroon hair and golden eyes as their defining characteristics. They are a savage race of nomadic hunters and warriors, known throughout Osetia for their lust for blood and battle. Their custom's reflect the harshness of the plains they lived in, filled with nothing but carnivorous beast that hunt each other in a violent cycle of death. The Navari embrace bloodshed as the only way to truly worship their Dragon God, Navarus, who only welcomes blood bathed warriors into his winged embrace after dying in a combat. To the Navari, to die in anyway other than fighting to kill something is disgraceful and an insult to Navarus, as well as a sign of general weakness in the individual for not being able to find a proper way to die.

They're a practical people, always looking for the next invention to assist in their survival. Their God, the Grand Owl in the common tongue, is one of survival and progress, asking for his followers to always look to the horizon and never stop soaring towards it. [/hider] Form of Government A representative government where there is a single ruler with most of the power, and an advising body that checks the ruler's powers, so as to keep it from becoming a dictatorship. The advising body bears representatives from all of the races and peoples, but the majorities naturally have more representatives and more political power. In terms of the one ruler, historically it has usually been usually been a Silme, given to the Khoren not caring for such matters outside of there own territory and the Navari being the minority when it comes to matters of Foreign diplomacy, as they only wish to expand and conquer. Current Leader(s) [hider=Ubileel Frostcutter] [img]https://ednene.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/old_elf2.jpg[/img] [/hider] Ubileel Frostcutter: The Prime Minister of the Umbraisis Notable Figures Jogun Silvhide: A survivor of the "Lost Mountain", he is the most influential of the Khoren in matters of politics, and is a very patient individual with a great amount of anger toward their southern neighbors. They took his him from his home, and he wishes to take his revenge upon their souls. Vaal'Naveros: A former Blood priest and at 65 years of age, he's currently the oldest living Navari that still follows their traditions by a far margin, and the oldest Navari Blood priest that has ever existed. He's a ruthless man with a shrewd mind mind and great ambition, and he's been able to translate his merciless tactics from the battlefield into the game of politics without losing any of his edge. He's the head representative of the Navari, and has kept the position against all contenders, since Navari representatives servre life terms, but anyone may come to challenge their right to life at anytime. Celese Frostcutter Navaea Frostcutter Aurora Frostcutter Silus Winddancer Marissa Navade Na'daevus Total Population Somewhere between 20 and 40 million people Nation's Location: A rather large section of land to the North and North-East of the Heavenly Empire Nation's Geography: The White Silver Tundra: The Bloodplains of Navaras: The Mountains of Khrunger'Kor The Lake of Sil'tuul Economy: Exports:Ores, Chemical components, Metals, and some fuel source I've yet to think of. Imports: Mainly food, as the country has problems with growing it's own food due to lack of fertile land. They have a few farms, and the Khoren have a thriving agriculture for themselves in the orm of Fungi farming, but that's not enough for the whole nation. Kauvria, cause we got some airships as well. Technology Overview As a whole, the nation is very progressive, but taken apart by the Races, The Silme are the most so, followed by the Khoren, then the Navari. The Silme are the most advanced, bearing all of the marvels that the world currently have to offer, but falling behind the Khoren when it comes to the the refinement and production of Alchemical and industrial technologies. The Khoren main effort is focused on that of Alchemy and industry, and anything else has fallen to the way side. This industry focus has caused them to have a good deal of modern necessities(such as indoor plumbing and refrigerators) as well, but as a whole their lives of the Khoren are simple and without anything they deem unneeded. The Navari are the most backward, forsaking anything that doesn't immediately have to do with the military on their daily lives. They stick to their traditions vigorously and are highly resistant to change and new technologies unless they are weapons, as they believe that the only progress that should ever be made is that in the way of battle and the hunt. This means that while they have firearms and vehicles, everything else is still very primitive. There have been a number of efforts to bring the Navari into the modern age as a whole, but they have ultimately been met with failure. Military Overview The Military is separated into three separate forces, The Khoren Spirit-Moulders, The Silme Stormwings, and The Navari Blood Legion. The Khoren Spirit-Moulders are in charge of all of the defensive measures of the cities in the Kingdoms, using the metals from their mountains to make thick walls mounted with Spirit Towers to rain down hell against any would dare to storm their shores. They also make up the heavy infantry and the bulk of artillery forces.
