[OOC] Rose Of The Nations

[Theodorable]

Nation Name: Ptolus

Population: 400,000

Religion(s): No distinct religion, worshipers of all sorts are welcome.

Government: Oligarchy (Oligarchs are people, most often from a country that emerged from Anarchy, of various important positions in power. There might be some actual monarchs involved but they'd share power with aristocrats, wealthy land owners, and perhaps other rulers, like guild owners, etcetera. Oligarchy's aren't necessarily violent, but it may be difficult to hold order since all the different factions, while technically a coherent and unified whole, are at least half-autonomous and attempting to strike things out on their own. A benefit to Oligarchy's is that it's possible to develop very politically advanced and culturally advanced nation states quicker than a nation could have grown other wise through having so many different voices heard.)

Geography: Tetrahedral island between the two landmasses. Mostly savannah, with a mountainous region near the center of the small island.

Size: 750 square miles.

History: Ptolus is not a sovereign kingdom, but rather an independent political city-state of sorts that adheres to the philosophical ideology of unification for the intents and purposes of studying and understanding magic. The city-state has a population of around 400,000 of whom 300,000 are active wizards, sorcerers, clerics and mages. Those not magically affluent serve as scribes, workers, and auxiliary roles or familial roles. Ptolus has races and ethnicities from all over the world where youngsters who are deemed magically affluent flock to the majestic city to learn their craft before returning home.

Ptolus is run by the Council of Savaya, upon whom are the greatest Archmages the world has ever known. These members (among also lesser affiliates of Ptolus) have renounced ties to their nations for the pursuit of mage. They are the governing body of Ptolus.

Connections
-- Kraal Thauken: The Wolfmen of Kraal Thauken make up less than 3% of the participating students of the arcane. However, the Council of Savaya employs the Kaandu Ferarus, magically imbued and enhanced Wolfmen who serve as sentinels on the island. They are protectors against rogue mages or those who attempt to flee with the secrets of Ptolus. The School of Enchantment maintains their sway over these Wolfmen, which releases their feral nature and makes them savage night time hunters. The School of Transmutation has increased the senses and characteristics: night vision, enhanced hearing, and sharpened claws.

Nation Name: Kraal Thauken

Population: Around 700,000

Religion(s): Though no deities are worshiped, the Thaukon people give thanks to the land, sea and sky for bringing them life. The three together is called the Trinitum, and prayers are given in thanks.

Government: Monarchy, though strength is respected over bloodlines. Once the current king (called a Rostor in Thoukon tongue) dies, a tournament is held, and the winner is crown the new Rostor. Individual settlements are watched over and taken care of by females, often elderly, who act as mayors, and the males and young, strong women are needed as soldiers or farmers.

Geography: The Thaukon inhabit a land that is mostly hills, mountains and valleys. Any land flat and fertile enough for farming or grazing is used as such, meaning that the Thaukon mostly live on hills or mountainsides.

Size: 13,500 Square Miles

Inhabitants: Kraal Thauken is run by a population of Wolf-men called the Thaukon who have been on this earth for as long as human records have been kept. They have a simple way of life, agriculture being only a recent addition to the previously hunter-gatherer culture. They are a very tribal people, though blood does not matter to them as much as strength. Village elders organize and take care of settlements, but it is the strong who are feared and respected. It is the strong whose order are followed by word of raven.

Is this ok?

[Theodorable]

Silver Carrot, I tried to add a little bit of a connection between Ptolus and Kraal Thauken. See if it works for you.

[Silver Carrot]

That's perfectly fine with me

[Theodorable]

Your people are a tribal so having a large quantity of them want to be mages or be magically affluent is difficult, but they'd make great bodyguards.

[Zurajai]

If people would be so kind to leave the chain of islands on the west side of the map free, Aspen and I have need of them! Thank you kindly!

[Silver Carrot]

I didn't even know we had a map. My people would either be to the far east, or in the center of the west continent anyway.

[orangebox]

Nation Name: Uarukiria

Population: 80,000

Religion(s): Animism and ancestor reverence. They praise the Earth Mother for their livelihood during life, and the Sky Father for their well-being afterlife. The Uarukirians are also seen to seek blessing from their ancestors, as they are culturally pious. The Phoenix was a warrior of old who unified the nomadic clans of Uaru, also receiving praise by present time Uarukirians.

Government: Monarchy - Queen of the Nation, Phoenix of Uarukiria. The throne is inherited through blood rights. According to tradition, only the females are able to receive the throne. After all, it is a general consensus that the Phoenix is of the fairer gender. All Queens are seen by the people of Uarukiria as the avatar of their goddess, the Phoenix.

Geography: The terrain surrounding Uarukiria is known to be mountainous; which is why the avians of Uarukiria deemed it as a safe haven where Onon is found. Of course every safe haven has it's drawbacks. The rugged, mountainous and perilous terrain was scarce in natural minerals. It was merely a mountain desert, void of any vegetation or small critters when the Uarukirians first settled. Though with the effort of the citizens, the rugged landscape had been transformed into the Bay City that is known as Onon. With infrastructures built closely among one another, decorating the rugged mountains with buildings, Onon was a sight to behold. Coupled by a stretch of a beautiful beach backed by sky scraping mountains, the Uarukirians turned it into a port city which focussed solely on trade and fishery.

Size: Approximately 1,000 square miles with some inhabitants still maintaining their nomadic lifestyles of old. A much more accurate size would be approximately 500 square miles.

---

Race: Uaru - the avian subspecies of Uarukiria looks exactly like how humans do, although generally shorter in height with one vibrant difference. These avians possess wings located on their hips, usually colored in a medley of hues with wingspans nearly twice of their own height. The wings of Uarukirians are often their pride and joy, utility-wise and aesthetic-wise. The physical and facial differences in gender are generally androgynous, but tend to be more on the feminine side.

Other avian subspecies co-exist as well, but are less likely to conform into a communal livelihood. They are the hunter-warrior avian subspecies, the Nekhiig. Boasting a larger wingspan and stronger physique in comparison, these avians excel in hunting large game. However, unlike their cousins the Nekhiig does not have colorful wings. Instead, they are only found in hues closer to the colors of the earth.

Strengths: They possess the ability to fly, but with limited distances depending on their stamina and carriage weight. Even though possessing a weaker physique, they are blessed with a nimble and dexterous body. Their eyesight are also similar to their much more primal cousins - the eagles, capable of vision with extreme distances.

Birdbrain? That's a clever myth spread by Uarukirians themselves. Who would've thought that the 'bird brains' themselves actually led everyone to firmly believe it? Unlike the myth, the Uarukirians have sharp minds capable of grasping logic easily. They are keen in the learning of language, and usually grasp multiple languages with ease and can converse eloquently. They are also perfectionists when it comes to craftsmanship. Due to their nomadic lifestyle, they are an adaptable race capable of living in harsh environments most of the time.

Weaknesses: The average Uarukirian has weaker physical strength compared to the average human. As such, they are not the best in melee combat. They are also a very passive race, usually friendly and naive in a sense. They enjoy merrymaking too much to be sometimes of productive use and are usually lazy. Coupled by the fact that they are perfectionists, avian-made crafts are generally hard to come by due to their whimsical pace. Their lifespan are shorter as well, with an average of about 50 years.

Other: The majority of the Uarukirians possesses an unnerving level of beauty, a double edged gift for they are highly sought after as well by slavers. Those with an aesthetic preference for human beauty tend to seek Uarukirians for pleasure. However, Uarukirians tend to use it to their own advantage.

[Zurajai]

Why does everyone have such low populations?

[Silver Carrot]

Mine's supposed to be quite low, as mine are a tribespeople. I hope everyone else didn't just copy me.
