[quote=@TheRedViper] Also, do centaurs qualify under beastmen or are they getting ignored due to the focus on original races? Just curious. [/quote] As the judge of which races get accepted and declined, I have asked to be ruthless in determining what makes the cut and what does not. And I will admit that I am somewhat torn on centaurs. On one hand, they're a race that is well adapted for the barren expanses and harsh climes of Azoth. But on the other hand, it is a bit jarring to see a world populated with original races (save for man, of course) and then have a race plucked right out of European mythology. In order to make centaurs work for Azoth, I need a convincing origin story: an etiology that makes centaurs seem like a natural evolution from this world rather than a contrived means of forcing your desired race into the roleplay. Pepperm1nts suggested something along the lines of a Red God playing a cruel joke on a tribe of humans, or a curse placed upon an ancient race of men by a Ghul. Even so, centaurs need to have a unique twist that makes them seem indigenous to the broken alien world of Azoth. If you can come up with something along those lines, I'll let you have centaurs. [quote=@TheRedViper] Are we allowed to lay claim to land yet or should we wait? [/quote] Flagg said to me that we are not interested in claiming borders and land in this RP. Drawing borders around a claim of land does not make a lot of sense in Azoth due to much of it being inhospitable. A better option for staking claims is to place a handful of your outposts/cities/fortresses on the map
