Hmm. Name can be discussed in the interest check, I suppose.

For the map I had the idea to use an altered version of Cyprus. Maybe I will make the scale of the map larger for a bigger area, and throw in some of the old cities from Elysium. But anyways, I'd modify Cyprus by horizontally compressing it to be a big (long but narrow) valley with us starting on one end and this huge, rich valley with Amplus in the end. Between Amplus and us would be a lot more human settlements, as well as some of those minor nations. So in this way even the map would have clear progression: as we march foreards through the valley, it becomes less rural and the armies and cities we face get even bigger.

For the Keeper I was thinking of a powerful human warlock possessed by some sort of demon. Quick temper, evil, sadistic, extremely powerful magic, yet with a body fragile to the point that he has to send all his minions to do his fighting for him. As in for grandiose speeches, maybe he could just be one not much for words, but other than by summoning everyone to the dungeon heart for a nice sit down I'm not sure how he'd issue all the needed orders when he's ready for a new invasion.
