Asura

A Game of Goblins

It was obvious to Muk Tukkish, as with all goblins, that the shinier something was, the more power it held. By that logic, the mushrooms which sprouted from the walls of this damp abode were rife with the stuff! Knowing that the consumption of an object gives you its power, the mighty chieftain waddled towards a particularly large bit of fungi and tore it free from the wall with his grubby fingers. Into his maw it went, disappearing among smacking lips and gnashing teeth... The gobs around him waited, watching carefully as their mighty leader spun to face them.

With a triumphant cackle, Muk Tukkish declared the power shrooms to be just that; full of power. Mimicking the strongest of their bunch, the gobs descended upon the fungi in great number, consuming the glowing blue shrooms with gusto. So great was the power of these shrooms, that even the waste produced by eating them glowed blue with the power! Well fed and quickly gaining a surplus of fancy filth, Muk Tukkish inadvertently avoided starvation and cannibalism for his small cadre of gobs!

But now... What would he do?

The Lythian League

The League of Lythian States

Nation Overview & Government

The League of Lythian States, normally referred to as the Lythian League or more commonly, Lythos, is a collective of tightly knit city-states. It is ruled by a council of elected aristocracy from each of the seven region of Lythos, with each state given three delegates to be assigned each year to ensure that every state is given accurate representation within the League. Elections for the these coveted seats occur at the start of each year, with the acting heads of each noble family campaigning and eventually elevating three if their own to attend the council for that particular year. The common man has no say in these elections, but the aristocracy makes sure to cater to the whims of the civilian population often enough to make them feel heard.

Geography

_{The geography of Lythos is fairly diverse, providing the nation with many distinctive regions. The western portion of the peninsula is dominated by the mineral rich Rgar mountains, which have long since separated the nation from the Continent, acting as a barrier to prevent invaders from the hostile, neighboring khanates from breaching Lythos. To the east, Sycalia sits upon the seas. Rich in forests and fertile soil, the landmass has long been known as ‘the Emerald Isle’ by mainlanders.}

Culture/Society

Economy/Industry

What resources do you import and export? Is your strength in industry or agriculture? Do you produce anything especially coveted or unique? Geography will play a role here. No state is wholly self-sufficient.

Military

Separated very specifically into two arms, the Lythian military takes the maxim “quality over quantity” to heart and for much of recent history, has been a defensive force. Protected from the threat of invasion by land through the Rgar mountains, the army of the League has afforded to forgo the bane of conscription many nations engaged in to fill their ranks.

The army itself is comprised entirely of volunteers, professional soldiers to the last. The majority of those whom enlist will find themselves serving as line infantrymen, while those who show aptitude are provided more specialty roles. Lythian skirmishers, whom operate close to their rank and file counterparts for safety, are known to be especially accurate and the bane of any forward advancing army and are renown for their ambush tactics among the rocky cliffs of Rgar. All armies of Lythos hold an artillery component, the finest guns of the Lythian industry making up the corp and allowing the ground troops significant support. While the age of cavalry is fast beginning to end, the Lythian army fields wings of light cavalry as support, the gems of which are the dragoons, whom have been molded through conflicts with the Khanate to more effectively utilize their unique mobility.

The other arm, the Lythian navy, is the more popular of the two. As much of Lythos is coastline, they are the first line of defense against external threat. Often tasked with the protection of civilian trade routes, the Lythian navy is comprised heavily of smaller corvette ships that favor the mobility required to hunt pirates without losing the firepower to bring such rogues down. Larger ships, largely forsaken in the past, have begun filling the ranks in increasing order in recent years. Frigates and ships-of-the-line are no longer an uncommon sight among the larger garrison ports along the Sycalian strait. The ships of Lythos, while more numerous than the army comparatively, remain quite high in quality. The practice of copper plating the bottoms of vessels is a testament to this, using vast quantities of the metal to fend off hull rot and thus, allow Lythian vessels to operate at sea for far longer than their purely wooden counterparts.

History

Self-explanatory. This doesn't need to be long; just informative. We encourage players to collaborate and create shared history, in fact, it is almost necessary. No nation exists in a vacuum.

Relations

As above. Collaborate with other players.

Characters

Optional section. Put any info about any special characters here: kings or queens, military leaders, and hero “badasses”.

A Game of Goblins

Deep beneath the earth, among caverns and tunnels crudely carved by stone and claw and tooth lay creatures most foul. Wretched, filthy and with a knack for finding themselves in the most precarious of situations, it is a wonder goblinkind has even managed to carve out a niche as the populace vermin humans of the surface consider them to be. Yet, for all their greed and vice, the goblins are a race of ambitious beings if nothing else. As they say, where there is a will, there is a way.

This axiom will need to prove true for the sniveling green gobs of the recently crowned Muktuk clan. Separated from their main horde by a cave in totally unrelated to their own deviancy, this group of twenty or so individuals, under the leadership of Chief Muk Tukkish I, set off into the dark, damp underworld to establish a civilization even the prissy pink skins above would be jealous of!

_______

Rules

-Each round will consist of posters submitting actions for the clan to take. The most popular choice among the various posters will win out.
-Don't post more than once a round.

_______

The tattered remains of clan Muktuk gather around their leader in the filthy wallow they have claimed as home. It is a fairly spacious cavern, devoid of much else than a few scraps of semi-luminescent fungi growing from the walls and a variety of rocks, large and small but none too good for eating, as many gobs quickly found. To the south of the cavern lay the crumbled remains of the tunnel which led these foul souls to their current living space, thick with rubble too heavy to move. To the north, three different tunnels branching deeper into the networks of caves the gobs call home, but none too explored.

Hungry, impatient and utterly lost, the scraggly goblinoids look to their fearsome leader for guidance. What does he say?
