I have a question; I plan on playing a nation of Nyr'kiin but I'm curious as to what their hives are like. As in, are they just large cities? Or are they more like an actual beehive or ant colony? Are thry made of stone/wood/whatever or more organic materials (again, kinda like a beehive)?

I have imagined their cities to be very reminiscent of [url=http://assets.inhabitat.com/files/termiteskyscraper.jpg]termite colonies[/url]. In ancient times, when the Nyr'kiin were the dominant species on Azoth, these hives were numerous. I haven't decided on what they're made of - perhaps stone melted into putty by an enzyme secreted by the queens - something fairly durable that can also be built into that termite-mound shape. But after the Ghul ate their queens, no new hives have been established. There are the eroded remains of perhaps a dozen hives in Azoth, and only a handful of hives that are still inhabited today. Modern hives are but a shadow of their former glory, and are likely to be eroded and in general decline. There are two that anyone besides a scholar is likely to know of; the Sunken Hive - a deteriorated hive that is slowly sinking into the sea on the Sullied Coast. Somewhere beyond the settled world, there is rumor of a hive enslaved by a powerful and wicked Ghul known as the Dead Hive.
