[@WolfHorns] As long as they can fly, you can have whatever kind of dragon you like. It sure would be interesting to see an aquatic type dragon.

Anyways, done with Fera, next up the Deep Kingdoms.

[hider][h3]Fera[/h3]
With vast deserts and savannahs in the north and dense jungles to the south, the region of Fera bears a dry climate with little rainfall and hot temperatures all year round. Such conditions are generally inhospitable to all but the various beastfolk tribes inhabiting the region, each one perfectly adapted to the environment they live in by design of the Elder Dragons who created them.

Even after the extermination of the Elder Dragons and the subsequent liberation of the beastfolk tribes, many remained in the areas they originally inhabited, marking the borders of their territories and leading to the current formation of Fera with its many different states. Any conflicts that arise tend to be kept within the tribe and territory they occur in, but for those that extend further, the Council of Elders step in as mediators and sometimes adjudicators with the Honour Guard serving as its military arm, a combined force of volunteers from every tribe in the nation.

It is these members of the Honour Guard who will be sent as Fera's contribution to the Sunpeak Alliance and though they all come from different tribes, they are dedicated to preserving the freedom and sovereignty of their people. They also share a spirit of competition with each tribe seeking to outdo the other, so they often hold joint training drills and tournaments. Each year, the winner of these tournaments is declared as the champion of the Honour Guard and receives a great sum of gold, crops and the equipment of their choice.

While every tribe's contribution is valuable, there are four who stand out from the rest as having contributed the most: the tribe of the lion, the bear, the wolf and the dragon. As it so happens, the current champion of the Honour Guard is a member of the lion tribe by the name of Shisom who will serve as the field marshal and act with the Council's authority in the war to come.

In terms of religion, the beastfolk mostly adopt the elven worship of Gaia and infusing it with a form of totemism where each tribe's totem usually reflects the animal they were hybridized from and serves as a conduit to the Allmother. In this way, they acknowledge the nature of their creation but credit it to Gaia, without whom the Elder Dragons could not have done without.

There are however disturbing reports of dragon cultists who worship the Elder Dragons as gods and engage in attempts to revive them from the dead, but so far none have been successful and such cultists are seen as a strange but minor fringe group. Best to be ignored or outright avoided.

In any case, with the Empire of Kovosia presenting a clear threat to allkind, the Honour Guard of Fera are eager to prove themselves in battle. To free the land from yet another tyrannical force and stand tall as liberators...

[i]Like their ancestors before them.[/i][/centre][/hider]

Also, a few minor edits for Norsinia and Yolta.

	- The preferred term for northerners is now 'highlander', not 'northlander'.
	- Northerners like to refer to southerners as 'sitters' on account of them sitting around all day (I was thinking of making it 'city folkers' but that sounded a bit too vulgar).
	- The capital city of Yolta has been renamed from 'Eto' to 'Kambuluk'.
	- The 'Ayjin' have been renamed to 'Anjin'.
	- Added a paragraph about the orcs who still follow the ways of their Vaimese ancestors, so there's some more lee way in terms of character ideas when it comes to orcs.
	- Just realized I forgot to name the capital city for Fera. I'll have to come up with one later.

And that's about it for now.
