<-- kingdom is a massive expanding kingdom that is near another massive expanding kingdom ontop of a mountain.


<------- both of these powers have consumed many tiny factions such as races, cults, wizards schools and so on. Whom, the most partinent have their leaders on seats of the small council of the king.


<----------the forest away from the mountains are dominated by elves, druids, treants and all that shit. They stop us doing stuff because we've been pretty much turning indepedent races and groups into slaves, proxy states, serfs, vessels and simply conquered them in expansion.


<-----war is on the horizon. Whatever method of life we have ,they have a different one. If we're kings and hate slavery. Their a ministry and love slavery ectr. Growing borders are starting to meet.


<--- each member of the council fills a slot: spy, naval, economy, defence, culture or whatever. Including some more respected, servile races and cults taken over.



<------- Both of these groups are trapped from moving outwards because of the massive forest and hostile forces blocking their path. The war machine is gearing up. The only other immediate people lands to grab is each others, unless they somehow eradicate the forest and its guardians.
