Quoted from the original RP which has for reasons that will go unmentioned, transferred GMship to myself. Hazmat, the previous GM has left the thread and gone to pursue other avenues, therefore I am taking up position of Head-GM for the RP.

Hello, and welcome to Swords and Shields! Create your nation, make your race and get ready for some Medieval Warfare!

Rules for nation-making:
1. For the purposes of simplicity, there is no magic in this world. There are healers and alchemists, but conjuring fireballs and summoning demons is a big no-no
2. Keep your civilization balanced. No-one likes having to compete with uber-strong, mega-cultured gods
3. Keep it realistic. If your nation only has a couple of gold mines, gold will be unlikely to be a major export
4. Fantasy races are acceptable, but try and keep them roughly humanoid. All player races must be sentient. Custom animals are permitted.
5. Don't be a dick. We're here to have fun and craft a story, not to win a game. Please adhere to this one rule above all others.
