4. Culture: The Tilerian Federation is a land of mixed races, peoples, and identities. The original Tilerian race were a tall, fair skinned war driven people, who conquered those around them, and bent them to their wills. The ancient texts call this the 'Golden Age' of the Tilerian people. Modern history simply refers to it as a mistake. The Tilerian ancestors of old expanded without question or regard for others, assimilating cultures and people as nothing more than trinkets. This expansion came to an end when civil war and slave revolts wracked the ancient empire. A new generation of Tilerians, feeling sympathy for those their people had conquered, rallied with them and fought against their own government. The war was long and costly, with much of the Empires territory being lost. 

Only 200 years before the start of the Most Atrocious War did the civil war come to an end. The old guard were dead, and the new generation of Tilerian's rose to power. Made up of both ethnic Tilerian's and other races, the new Tilerian Federation rapidly set about rebuilding itself. Rather than specificity one culture or religion as dominant, the Federation instead declared that all religions were welcome, as long as they did not harm other citizens. This freedom of choice can be seen in the streets of Tilerian cities. Hundreds of different dress styles, colors, and languages can be heard. This has often led to some issues, but it is largely preferred over the past. 

The long term wars of their past have spawned new generations of pacifists, preferring peaceful negotiations to solve their problems. New alliances were formed with neighboring nations, and even the annexation of an ancient Imperial holding was secured, nearly doubling the size of the Federation. They were trusting of outsiders, and always willing to give them a chance. This mind set came back to haunt them when the war began. The Federation was located in such a position, that for warring powers to get to their opponents by land, most would have to go through Tilerian lands. The Federation was quick to declare neutrality in the war, preferring to not get involved. They provided aid to both sides in the war, sending humanitarian convoys to war ravaged areas. The pacifistic ways of the Federation came to an end the same day their neutrality did. On of the Pact nations, having grown tired of having to wait for permission to pass through Tilerian lands, decided to invade and simply secure it for themselves.

The Federation lost many lives before they rallied and fought back against their invaders. The ancient warlike ways and tactics of their ancestors were brought to bear against their enemies. Within a year, the entire invading army had been butchered to the last, with no survivors left. The Federation soon joined the other nations against the Pact Forces, not out of any connection or love for them, but simply because they were fighting the same foes. The Federation held their ground at great cost, but were eventually defeated in the war.

The atrocities the Federation experienced during the war has led to a more militaristic mind set for their people. Eyes turn outwards to avenging their dead, and rebuilding the ancient Empire of old.
