Nation History

The Nation sort of... came together, many centuries ago, out of mutual necessity. The dwarves and gnomes were first, inhabiting the mountains. There are many books, thick, on the history and conflicts between them. Then came the birdmen, driven north by calamity. They made their homes in the trees and the tallest spires of rock. The dwarves, being underground, did not mind this. The birdmen kept watch along the borders, and the dwarves supplied what they could not easily find. The elves followed, organizing a tribal system within the impervious forests. They provided the means for agriculture and more effective ways to hunt, and so the Nation evolved further. Finally, the men came. Bitter men, and savage, hailing from the brutal northlands, riding fierce Barghest as savage as they. There was conflict, and blood was shed. All were unprepared for the winter that followed, however. It is still spoken of as the Great Cold. Waist-deep in snow and pelted by hail, the leaders of each tribes made their way to the Dwarven Halls, and together, they scripted an accord. Each race was to help each other, and from this flourished a nation. The dwarves taught the ways of architecture, and together, with the men’s ingenuity and intellect, they built watch towers, excavated hidden passages, hewed defenses and buildings from stone. The elves rendered the forests less impervious, and they built tree-houses and rope bridges. Equipped with weapons, they patrolled the borders. The gnomes brought knowledge on the arcane, and, after rigorous training, they raised a potent fighting force and many were sent into the Dark of the caverns, to eliminate the monstrous filth that plagued their kingdom. So they expanded. It continues in this manner now. Each race provides something, and the leaders of each counsel frequently among themselves to make sure it goes on this way.

General Information (more to be added)

It is (probably) located somewhere in the far north, two thousand meters above sea level. During winter, the weather is terrible and stormy and cold. During the other months, it is just damp. It spreads like a cone, from the highest point downwards. It is densely forested, and many humans choose to live in tree-houses. Rope bridges connect strategic locations, and actual ropes are used if you really need to get somewhere quick, though they aren’t recommended during storms. The dwarves have massive halls underground, and their tunnels stretch far and wide. Further, they are incredibly skilled craftsmen and artisans, often applying their knowledge of magic in their craft, for maximal results.

Command Profile

more commanders will be characterized ic. Too lazy to do them all right now.

Ruslan Timurovich Akinshin:
Great General of the humans, Ruslan comes from the long line of human rulers of the Nation, its fiercest warriors by tradition. In the past century, however, the Akinshin family has not valued fighting, and set its sights to consolidating the country they live in. In this field a remarkable leader, Ruslan has done much for his country. He helped engineer the labyrinthine defences that guard the lower levels of his kingdom, and codified the training manual his soldiers use. Further, Ruslan was one of the first to suggest the idea of secret passages within the kingdom for quick movement, which the dwarves have helped stretch to the borders of their kingdom. His interest for architecture is only rivaled by his love of Barghests. He’ll be often found racing his mighty steed, Itza, through the mountain passes with his guard.

Gorr “Stormquill” Faust:
Leading Magus of the Dwarves, he’s technically not the highest ranking officer, but ends up doing most of the work anyway, as Diran, the actual leader, has a penchant for alcohol which tends to get in the way of paperwork. A brilliant mind, Gorr is at the forefront of his country in terms of runesmithing and goleomancy. Is often found buried in paperwork, or wherever the smoke is coming from. Many rue the day the two locations are one and the same, though perhaps not as much as he.

Jan Bøssenbrek:
What you could call leaders of the elves, she was recently nominated by dint of nobody else wanting to take his position. Not at all dismayed, Jan happily spends most of her time hunting or climbing trees. Less moody and solitary than previous leaders, she is usually present at the council meetings. If she remembers. Jan has never discouraged communication or otherwise been disinclined to entertain a relationship with the other races. As long as she can keep on chasing deer.

Timaeus Greenthumb:
Great (in spirit making up for what he lacks in stature) General of the Gnomes, Timaeus is one of the many unremarkable leaders the Gnomes have had. Like his predecessors, Timaeus continues the gnomic policy of vicious monster-slaying. His troops train regularly and vehemently. Nobody knows why so much venom, but nobody really minds. Unlike his predecessors, he also harbors a love for flowers, and likes trekking for the most beautiful he can find. Sometimes Ruslan accompanies him, though Itza unfortunately often steps on the beautiful flowers in question. Small and quick to anger, Timaeus is the first to contest any decision taken in council meetings. Once shown reason, however, he will often add relevant information to the meeting. Don’t touch his flowers.

dialogues between Draza and Alhvaharyis are going to be fun. I'm assuming her aura is going to make him very disgruntled at first xD

Right on. I sent you my nation in pm, to check where I screwed up :P

(MISSIONS YAAAY)

Alhvaharyis is DEFINITELY interested in the mission Cease Fire, and as such I would like to participate in it

Anyone care to join me? c:

Fantasy Nations 2: A New Age (Kadaeux's Trait System)

and, excuse the really dumb question: provinces give us regiment points, which are the points we spend to determine our armies' units' type. so my capital city gives me 30 regiment points, that means 15 regiments of humans, for example. Is this correct?

Fantasy Nations 2: A New Age (Kadaeux's Trait System)

Yeah. Question, if a nation has no points in say, merchant traits, does that mean they have no merchants?

Fantasy Nations 2: A New Age (Kadaeux's Trait System)

ahh I see I see. Thanks for clearing that up.

Fantasy Nations 2: A New Age (Kadaeux's Trait System)

so wait, having 1 dragon is 10 points, and having 12 dragons is also 10 points? *blinks*

Fantasy Nations 2: A New Age (Kadaeux's Trait System)

oh oh oh dibs on a very mountainous country. Also, Kad, if there is exactly one dragon in your nation, is that still 10 points?
