[quote=@Legion02] Just to keep stuff interesting, and fueled by the trade between Growi, GreviousKhan and Abefroeman, my guys could do some trading in the northern lands. Probably mostly very small shops in major Nothern Cities. [/quote] Yup, in fact, I see a possibility of trying to exploit said resources by other parties if Lord Zee is up to that idea. Also, a sneak peak into the fluff so far to keep everyone up to date. [hider=Imporatant landscapes] [b][u]The Webwood[/u][/b] The Webwood, or the black forest, is an absolutely massive forest located in the far north-lands. It is easily the largest and most famous woodland in all of Ethica, home to the most savage of beast and monsters alike. Few who enter the Webwood alone ever leave it again and to this day, only the Northern tribes have learned to navigate the crisscrossing paths of the Webwood. A thick vale of mist always surrounds the woodlands season round, growing thicker in the winter months and lighter in the early summer time. Worse still, thick roots that grow from the unnaturally large trees have grown into and around neighbors trees into tunnels and tangled masses of knots and barriers, making movement in a straight line from one point to the next nigh impossible. This, in addition to the wood's characteristic thickness that dulls all but the sharpest of axes and preternaturally wet foliage due to the mist, and you have a forest you cannot so much as properly light a fire in let alone clear a pathway. The Tribes that live here have eeked out a living from hunting and gathering and these tribes rarely stay in one place for long. Burning what deadwood they can find when able to using dung fires. Magic is thick in the Webwood and those shamans counted among the North-folk have learned to harness this untapped power. Those powerful enough even able to shape the very trees about them to hid their tracks or temporarily make new paths when needed. Beyond the mad tribesmen and the eerie mist of the Webwood there lies within beasts never before seen by most mortal eyes. Vilespawn of Azueral dwell within, along with carnivorous plants, dire bears, ice troll encampments, and even the odd gore cyclops make the Webwood easily the most dangerous place in Ethica. Some claim that to reach the heart of the forest is to find the largest tree in existence, some deem it a god, others claim its fruit grant immortality. Whether true or not, the dangerous beasts of this forbidden realm easily keep those curious away. To enter the Webwood is to enter another world entirely and - more than likely- forfeit your life.

Edit: Also as a side note, stay away from names with 'states' plural in it since technically you are a provincial state as it is within a larger nation. It would be like calling Florida the United States of Florida while it is in the Untied States of America.
