Coming along. But you'd know that if you looked at page four more often.

After a look at the sheet so far, we feel your char fits better as a Mennonite. The picture you used - lamellar, fur hat/coat, Mongol/steppe-esque is much more evocative of Mennonite culture than Silesian.

This isn't a criticism, but an observation/suggestion. Like Dr Cruiser, we're more than willing to let you play the char you want. Also, have you read the recently updated culture sections in the OP? The changes may inspire alterations to your work, or not. Keep up the progress!

Question: Do you have ideas about capital cities of each county? It might be useful knowledge to lay out.

Sure we can do that.

Off the top of my head:

Roshad's capital city would have high building density, with ancient libraries and temples, as well as the meeting place of the Thinkers.

Kothar's capital is likely opulent and filled with the spoils of war.

Silesea likely wouldn't have a capital city, but rather several cities of importance, each belonging to a different tribe.

Mennon's capital would likely be the most fortified fife.

Baccum is without such a hierarchy and would only have settlements of note.

As in Gold's list, Kothar, Roshad and Mennon are the only civs with what we'd probably identify as a captial proper.

Roshad doesn't have a central government, as each city is govered by the Patron/Matron/Thinker trio, but there ought to be one 'de facto' city that kicks around more weight than the others. This one, as Gold stated, may act as the main councilhouse for the Thinkers and have the grandest archives and the most renouwned institutions. It may very well be the first of Roshad's cities.

Kothar and Mennon's captials are more traditional, in that they are homes of each nation's king/ruler. These are the jewels of both nations, and it is apparent from their opulence. Both are highly forified, large cities, with vast populations.

We can pull the names out of our asses if need be.

Heh. I think you should. It adds more realism to world and gives a place of note on the map.

Also, I do have personal reasons, concerning my character's bio, with which I'm mostly concerned with Roshad. I have an idea and for that idea, it would be helpful to have a name to put to the place.

I did mention I was making a steppe-influenced character before you guys settled on expanding your lore, which I did state beforehand in request that the lore you expand on not contradict what I was building. This is the exact opposite of that request. I’m not sure if I’m all that pleased about this. Especially since my character definitely does not fit structurally or thematically with Mennon given the whole centerpiece of the character’s concept is not someone who lives in a “feudal system” where a “monarch sits at the head”. My character was derived from Turkic and Hunnic tribes and tribal culture. I did not read the updates since I was busy all Saturday and I am just now getting home to reply to this information.

Hmm. Perhaps just say your tribe is from southern Mennon, since you aesthetically fit the part already, it can just be a nomadic tribe that borders on the fringe of Mennon lands.

This is the burden that the descendants of the southernmost tribe of Silesia, a nomadic people that have been among the most prominent among the tribal federation since its inception.

Silesea is different than Mennon. Mennon is all plains and steppe and lamellar. Silesea is settlements of rich merchant types and crazy politics. Western Mennon might even work better, more plains.

Fuck

I tried to send a PM, but when I clicked send, the page flashed and I don't think it sent. Worse, It deleted everything I was going to say.

Ugh, technology.
