Nation Name: Iaakan Entreaty
Color: Red, or orange, or even blue
Race: Aak
A strange reptilian species with a fondness for family, mathematics and good food
Racial Trait: Nothing too beyond human baseline, they have six arms total, with two strong and hardy arms and four near-vestigial arms, a tail, and lay eggs. Slightly stronger and tougher than your average human.
Lore: The Aak for millennia have wandered the world in large family-based clans, occasionally warring and splitting off from eachother, dying out and vanishing into the annals of history. Now however at a great Ireejak (Meeting of all Aak) several of the largest clans have converged on one spot and tied their families together through a series of marriages to ensure peace.
The Iaakan Entreaty (Every-Aak Entreaty) was formed as a result of this grand union, and now seeks to bring about a great prosperous future for all Aak-kind.

Jip. Understandably it can be a turn off, however this is my first game and I'd like to be able to communicate with the players outside of the thread to limit the amount of Out Of Context chatter we'd have to post here.

It's also the easiest way for us to do IC sessions and diplomatic discussions as you'll (hopefully) be interacting with other players.

There's no obligation to stay if you feel the game's not for you, or once it's done. And we're a pretty chilled albeit autistic lot. Either way, your decision is respected.

Nation Name: Squackus
Species: Birdmen (Seagull) . Refer to themselves as 'The Glarian'.
Biome: Coastal
Colour: Cyan
Fluff: About the size of a human teenager, these ragged birdmen have shrill voices, white plumage, and a burning desire for whatever the heck it is you just dropped there on the floor back there... was it chips?
In all seriousness, these people are not exactly stupid, but they are easily distracted and love food and drink. They spend alot of time along the coast, in small fishing villages that allow them get the seafood that makes up their diet. Much of their tools are made of things they dredge up from the sea, which they are very inventive with.
Capable of true flight, with diving capabilities to suit their needs, the average Glarian can carry "a fish THIS big!" for a short distance, usually enough to get them to shore, before getting tired.


>Action 1 - Build a dock
>Action 2 - Sturdier ships

Sunrise!
Or maybe it was sunset? Glarian's are not good timekeepers.
Squinting through fluffy white feathers, Stares-At-Sun did as his name said he would do, wondering what time of day it was, and whether it was worth it to go out and get a fish. Would it be one of the slimy grey fish that slithered up from the depths at night, or a tasty orange one that only left the reef's safety when dawn began to crack the night's hold?
He waited, extremely patiently, for a whole 5 seconds. To his dismay, the sun seemed fixated on merely hovering over the horizon, refusing to move up or down and confirm the time.
Squawking in frustration, he glided down to the flimsy dock of the sleepy fishing village he ruled over, and started, as all Glarian are wont to do when they get frustrated at the world, to cause a 'Ruckus'. He incited his fellow birdpeople, strutting around and bobbing his head, spouting platitudes and threats until everyone on the dock gave into the Ruckus. High pitched screeching, feathers flying everywhere, fish guts being scarfed down, vomited back up, or both at the same time, it was a deeply unpleasant affair, and the Glarian's loved it. It was only during a Ruckus that they could get some actual work done, the biggest of them all (that being Stares-At-Sun) urging them to build up the docks and boats that were the lifeblood of their people. He wanted fish, and he wanted them now!

Action 1: Assemble a Gyd (Aak word for a wheat equivalent crop) farm near Iaakon

Agriculture has been practiced at times and frequently throughout Aakish history, however with the settlement of a formal city expansive and permanent farming arrangements are made along the river.

Action 2: Set up an outpost on the marked triangle

Aak continue to move and set up homesteads, an outpost of sorts begins to form along the river to the south, attracting those that find Iaakon too bustling.

The name of this place is “Bariaakon” (Other Every-aak city), though at the moment it remains a humble homestead

Nation Name: Shattered Empire -The Sensei Khanate
Color: Gold
Race: Sensei
Racial Traits: A strange brutal race of only male warriors, created in an ancient blood ritual by a mad king. Their children grow fast, becoming men in only 13 - 15 years. The fathers control their sons through their blood, waning as they age until roughly 25.

They possess superhuman strength from as soon as they can walk, and while they are young great agility until they bulk up when older. They heal from the rigors of combat quicker than a normal man, small nicks and scrapes healed by the end of the battle, and the typical damages that hinder and slow an army lessened or negated.

The power comes at a price, either from an ailment of the heart or brain, Sensei only reach the ages of 50-58, with the great Karn reaching 60.

As years progressed, Sensei society has split into about 5 alternating major warbands, the Karnis- direct descendants of the First Father, controlling the majority of the Oasis and the capital of the Shattered Empire, the Kul'gatin, Raa'zac- an descendant warband of Karnis, warrior smiths by trade and need, they prowl the desert for old battlegrounds to gather whatever metal the victor has left behind (AA), the Haki- an exiled warband of misbegotten losers of duels that found power together, without honor and goes without respect from the other warbands, more akin to scattered border bandits, however they tend to be the ones capturing foreign women more often than not. The Tulac- masons and carvers of stone, strange Sensei content to help maintain and build Kul'gatin than comquer and seek glory. Lastly, the Untali- the cartlords, traversing great spans of the desert in covered wagons for their many sons, loot, or women, hauled by fearsome beasts of burden. They use the geography and their abilities to either trade or plunder from their neighbors what the environment will not provide. The fathers lead their sons in warbands, until they reach majority and choose to stay due to loyalty, a succession crisis and duel ensues, or they are exiled to form their new warband.

Nation Name: Huterangia
Color: Orange
Race: The Huterang
An arboreal and mostly peaceable people, the days of the Huterang monarchs ended when the last of their royal line died without an obvious heir. Rather then place any effort into searching one out and sifting through possible claims, the last royal's court re-convened as a parliament of the people (the people they represented being themselves) and took over governance of their people. In the generations since this parliament has become more generally representative - though there are always accusations over the placement of re-drawn boundaries and 'rotten' districts, by and large the system is generally thought to be working by the masses.

>Action 1: Fruit Plantations
Fruit, when in season, are a large part of the Huterang diet. And so the Huterang set themselves to the task of growing more, arranging plantings of their favourite sorts with seedlings to grow into plantations. The first will be planted to the north-west of our city with the o (if we get a second build in a single action like game 5, place the second to the south of Utpalem somewhere).

>Action 2: Utbanda
Moving northward through the forest along the coastline, the Huterang found their outpost of Utbanda close upon the banks where a small river meets the sea. (x)

Nation name: Rhayne
Color: Vibrant, practically neon, green
Race: Frogs. Spindly limbs and the like (Think greninja)
Racial Trait: Stealthy Psychics. Their muted colors give them the ability to hide in the most random of locations and they use this stealth to remain in a location and slowly worm their way into the minds of those in the area causing hallucinations and even minor paralysis. Their biggest drawback is that as the hallucinations get stronger, the sound of croaking becomes more prevalent often times leading to a position being compromised or at the very least giving those in the area some idea that they're near by. And once out of the range of a frog's influence the hallucinations stop entirely and the effects begin to fade, although repeated exposure to a frog can cause the hallucinations to come back and the longer they've been exposed to it the stronger the hallucinations becomes.
Lore: A nation hidden amongst a dense jungle. High in the treetops do they reside and although contact with them has been made a few times, it's said that no one has truly entered their capital outside of other like them. Those that get close having to face hallucinations, a miasma of psychic attacks plaguing movements. Despite this they are largely neutral, trying to collect info for their own benefit with no real desire for conflict.
Great assassins. Awful at direct conflict

Action 1: Develop stealth techniques.
As the nation flourishes, getting to know the surrounding area is the most important thing be it for hunting or trapping. These techniques can even potentially help other factors of life such as exploration as well as cultivation.

Action 2: Develop farms.
Small and quickly reproducing animals such as chicken supplemented alongside wheat will be enough to get things going. Soon enough expansion, but a basis is needed first

Nation Sudlunders
Color: Anything bluish or greyish
Race: Frostlings (Frostmen, Frostrolls, Frostgobs, some Frost Giants, frost witches)
Racial Trait:
Hail the Gods of Frost! (Gains magic and strength in cold climates and sacrifices. Nation relies on Frost-Flame which burns to create cold, rather than heat, which they use to manipulate metal and cook)
The Fires of Hel! (Weak to flame and heat. Cannot survive long in warmer climates without magical protection such as cloud cover or layers of ice)
Lore: From the frigid depths of the south they come. Scattered tribes of goblins, clans of man, savage bands of trolls, ogres, towering frost giants and the recluse witches of cold. They fight, they raid, they pillage, they plunder, all in the service of their dreaded Three Gods of Ice, and the lesser dieties of frost.

At their religious capital, the mountain stronghold of Fryholme, is the great and bottomless pit. Here they sacrifice anything they can, defeated warriors, meat and animals, and most precious of all, that which has magical or political significance among their enemies, for more favor from the Ice Gods, to spread the chilling cold or grant magical powers.

However, think them not merely savage barbarians incapable of diplomacy. Of the humans in particular, trade and mercenarial work is common, for among men do survive the longest beyond the cold before the dreaded stroke of heat claims their bodies, yet also is their lot to have fewer magic. Such it is that the men tend to be the more civilized of the Sudlunders, and scheme for power.

Nation Name: Jugemu
location : any coastal island off the main continent
Color: Any
Race: Tanuki
Racial Trait: The Tanuki is a race of humanoid racoon dogs. the tanukis are master of illusion magic are able to shapeshift into any race or animal, perfectly mimicking their external appearance but in exchange they are physically weak and absent-minded
Lore: For many centuries, the island of Sado where the tanuki lives are under the rule of the kitsune foxes, a race with similar but less specialized illusion magic that also allows them to control fire. with this power the foxes invaded the island of Sado and opressed the native tanuki who lived in fear that for their lives as the foxes consider tanuki hot pot a delicacy.

the tanuki would stay as the foxes slave until five centuries ago, when an unknown tanuki family gave birth to the mythical and legendary five brothers and sister. the tanuki five named Paipo, Shūringan, Gūrindai, Ponpokopii, Ponpokona waged guerilla war against their fox overlord and succesfully drove them out of the island of sado and founded the Jugemu clan. they ruled the island for a while until they mysteriously disappeared some three centuries ago. their descendant now rule the island in their place as a the chief of the tribal confederation along with other tanuki clans.

Long did the Kōgō, Daughter of the Sun Goddess, reign over this land. Under her rule did the Kitsune people grow wisened and fat off the spoils of fertile lands and bountiful forests. Not all, however, was well under such a reign. Some within the Imperial court plotted, schemed against she who was divine among mortals. The warlord, Matsura Hirauji rallied Daimyo and retainers loyal to him, and laid siege to the capital Minahoro. He was successful. The Emperess called for a ceasefire, knowing her vassals; loyal as they were, would surely perish to the superior forces of this self-proclaimed Shōgun. Hirauji knew any harm to the Kōgō was an offense to the Gods themselves, and thus the deal was struck. All things of the physical were to be ruled by the Shōgun, the Lord and Master of all within the Empire. The Kōgō herself would retain her title, but all power was simply stripped away; only commanding a small force of 100 loyal retainers for defense. It has been some time, and while Matsura Hirauji has passed from this world; his daughter Matsumae Rokuno shall now lead the Shōgunshoku for better, or for worse.

Physical and cultural description:
A people resembling humans with the ears and tails of Foxes, the Kitsune have a fairly martial culture, and rely a on magic to fight their battles alongside their martial arms; with many retainers being spellswords.

They are five to six foot in size, with a wide variation of outliers on each side of the spectrum. Males have shorter and far less bushy tails than the females on average; with retainers typically opting to have their tails completely severed both as a sign of devotion to their Daimyo, and to better fit within their armor. Tail size and hair color is determined by genetics; with the most common hair colors being jet black with the second most common being stark white. There are kitsune with auburn red, chestnut brown and gray hair color as well.

Kitsune are often excellent seamstresses making extremely high quality clothing, and in addition are master brewers; crafting the finest of rice wine, cherry wine and a type of cherry honey mead.

Kitsune are, as often stereotyped, attractive and very alluring, and as such Kitsune often take advantage of this stereotype to get what they want, or for political maneuvering. Oftentimes the daughters of Kitsune Daimyo will be married off to allies to strengthen relations between the lords; or for more ruthless men, married to rivals in order to have them assassinated, and by laws of succession have their authority transferred to their wives who often return said lands to their fathers. On occasion, these daughters grow a taste for the power they are granted, and instead choose to become vassals of the clan which had originally sired them. Even others still reject their original purpose and strike out on their own; knowing such an act would alienate themselves from their progenitors. As a result of such actions, a sizable portion of Kitsune Daimyo are female, however this does not by any means make them any less willing to use their own physical attributes nor those of their offspring to get what they want when they can. When they cannot attain what they wish via diplomacy, then war typically follows. Traditionally, Kitsune Daimyo favor a solid backbone of Retainer infantry, with formations of peasant levies to round out roles more suited to their status.

Nation name: Covenant of the Dag Dag
Location: Any forest that will be referred to as the forest of Dagaroth.
Color: Grey
Race: Gibilins who are are rosy pink in complexion once they come into this world to dark green as they age.
Racial Trait: The Gibilins are a small, cunning, and quick racer able to utilize the forest they rise in to blend in and move stealthily. They are also known for being adept at climbing and for their night vision.
Lore: The Dag Dag are a small tribe of gibilins who live in the deep forests of the world. They are a small and secretive people who are experts at hiding and sneaking. They are known for their skill at making weapons and traps, and for their love of mischief and trickery.

The gibilins of the Dagaroth forest are a peaceful people, but they are also very independent and fiercely protective of their homes and families. They are not afraid to fight if they must, but they much prefer to use their wits and their skills to get what they want.While the small gibilins are not a wealthy people, but they are content with what they have. They are happy to trade their skills and their knowledge for food and shelter, and they are always willing to help those in need.

The Dag Dag are led by a powerful shaman, who communes with the spirits of the aether that they worship. They believe that these spirits will one day lead them to victory over their enemies. They are a fearsome people, and those who cross them do so at their own peril.

(Posting on behalf of Acreon)
>>5236285

Action 1: The great shaman who represents the spirits of the aether who are the guardians of the forest and everything in it commissions totems to be carved and placed at various points in the forest to ward against evil spirits and anything that may harm the forest and to guide gibilins during hunts or if they ever get lost.

Action 2: A group of young gibilins, eager to prove themselves to their elders in order to become bondlins [a unit of archers], go out into the forest to track down and kill a troublesome pack of wolves that have been a nuisance to the covenant and hopefully return triumphant.

Nation Name: Salivanid Empire
Color: Red
Race: Viersperan
Racial Traits: Tough and Durable/Robust, Strong, Large, Eats over ten thousand calories per day, cannot stand the cold.
Capital: Metrin Kalan
Lore: The Viersperan are a serpent like people of noteworthy size that inhabit the deserts and oasis's of a land they call Salivanid and which their empire takes it's name from. Their are a number of more savage and less refined species that are similar to them which they consider to be descended from after ages of growth and change, though only the significantly smaller Poconthy's seem to show any real intelligence, although are in a far more tribal state than the current Viersperan's. In many way's the Poconthy's are a opposite of the Viersperan's, for the Viersperan's are large, strong, and very durable both in bones, scale and skin while struggling in cold environments and having what most other species would consider an insatiable apatite. While the Poconthy's are fast, frail, small, can survive just about everywhere even frozen lands, and are mostly scavengers. Still this connection between their smaller kin and the more savage creatures that are similar yet quite different to them has reinforced the view that they are a progression of their kind. Regardless, they believe these initial creatures were created by the goddess of sand, time, history and Serpents, Loreleilim and that this deity carefully guided their changes over eons. Similarly, they believe that the world has a cycle of being lush and alive and withering, and a major part of their religion is dedicated to preserving as much information as possible and in a way that could protect it from the endless sands of time so that even should they wither with the world the next bloom will be able to hear and read their stories. Their society is interestingly very communal, and all settlements are lead by a council of sorts, with a leader among them elected by this council.
[1/2]

>>5236554

This even extends to the higher levels of government where in the monarch always has a council of advisors at their side at all times, and similarly to the council the monarch is considered the leader of this group, and the heir is elected by this advisor council. The monarch and leading council of advisors role is to guide their lands and ensure the happiness and productivity of the people, and this is generally enforced somewhat by the clergy. Still, the moniker Emperor or Empress of the People is common. It generally helps that their monarch generally lives much like any other Viersperan in society until their assentation to the crown. Another key part of their society is their absolute distain for slothfulness, and it is considered one of the greatest sins in their faith for it doesn't create and merely wastes the time that was given. Naturally due to these cultural values, the society is very orderly, yet the arts are still respected, especially that of architecture, music, sculpting and gardening. Further of note, in Viersperan society, one doesn't have so much of a family as they do a community that they are a part of, though marriage and friendship between two individuals still exists. The biggest hurdle the society faces is ironically this communal life style, as it means that every exploration is generally done by many members of a community at once, and generally a Viersperan on their own is extremely rare. Further, two different communities will generally look out for themselves more than the other, which causes issues when crisis's strike and things like food becomes scarce...

>>5235871

Today was a grand day. While progress had gone slowly but steady, the city of Metrin Kalan could finally be truly considered a city and worthy of being a capital for the empire, making the communities that were a part of it quite pleased with their hard work. Still, while the Emperor of the People soon discussed their plans and idea's to the council there was one thing quickly settled upon that all understood. For the empire and it's people to prosper there had to be more food. As such, more food was to be secured. While the hunting of elephants, hippo's giraffes, and similar was quite useful for feeding communities, an idea came about that was quite simple. What if they removed the whole tracking and hunting thing entirely? What if they raised the creatures so as to be able to benefit from them far easier, and be able to know just how many there were? Not only would this defeat overhunting and make the process easier, but it'd mean that meat would be far easier to come by. And so, a few communities of hunters went out to try and capture these beasts and tame them, or at least simply keep them contained so they could be watched and more easily gotten. Other than this, much more farmland was needed for grain and other foods that could grow along the river. And so, a good deal of effort was put into the expansion of the farmlands, and making them able to produce more than just enough for the one's maintaining them.

>Action One: Attempt to capture and domesticate large animals. (Elephants, Hippo's, whatever else similar is nearby)

>Action Two: Clear out more farmland.

Nation Name: Godflesh Collegiate
Capital: Godskin Campus
Color: Black or Gold
Race: Humans (kinda'ish)
They are very pale and abbandoned by the Graces of the Gods those without a Colegium they are part off tend to be very frail otherwise their apperance is heavily dependant on the collegium they are part off.

History: The people of the Collegiate have been abbandoned by their creator God, cruel he was and demanded war and sacrifice of them. The people rose up in rebellion and tore his flesh appart some made his Eyes their own, some his maw, some his limbs, some his bones, some his skin and lastly only the dregs remained which one took too. The Collegiate is this built around 6 collegia with a Godflesh Bearer atop and underlings he shares his power with underneath. The Collegiate is split some wish to kill all Gods others merely wish to bring the conzept of death to create some empathy for mortals among the divines.

Ok just gonna past it here
The 6 collegia operate somewhat independantly though they meat and the head rotates

Collegium of the Eyes - clayvorance predicting the future, reading stars, crystal balls and tarot stuff
Collegium of the Maw - eating stuff and absorbing portion of it's power, most agressive one they wanna eat Gods gourge themselves on their flesh

Collegium of the Skin - they like to skin people, can wear people's skin to take on other's apperance otherwise just Godskin apostles from elden ring
Collegium of the Dregs - they are weak, but their power is dragging their opponent to their level. The stronger the pull of ones dregs the weaker you become when facing a follower of the dregs. Their Godfleshholder basically reduces any opponent to be equal in streangth to him so only skill matters

Colors: Blue (0, 132, 255) and Gold
Race: Humans
Lore: After centuries of division, the scattered human tribes of Illyria have finally recognized a single man as their king to create a land where humanity can stand together in front of a dangerous world. Whether by the swords of its knights, by the magic of its sorcerers, or by the faith of its priests, Illyria will be a nation to last the ages.

1 & 2. The peasantry needs land to farm, and the Daimyo land to rule. Since the coup took place, much of our lands outside the capital have been neglected and abandoned; this of course must be fixed. We shall begin expansion into the wilderness, taming the grasslands and forests which cover the island. With new lands come content lords, new farms and of course, a larger population. Once the island is ours, then we may use that population to assist in greater efforts to expand the influence of the Shogun to new shores.

Nation Name: The Leakoan Republic
Capital Name: Leako
Color: Deep Purple
Race: Glikeich

Glikeich are large and extremely old crustaceans with a affinity for anything maritime/naval

Racial Trait: Glikeich are separated into multiple 'groups' due of their visible appearances and what jobs they work best at, as some could very well be able to use the nearby water as heatened projectiles when they are in water akin to pistol shrimps and some other very well can use some club like appendages to fuck up larger creatures akin to mantis shrimps and i go on , Glikeich are able to see more colors than most other races can due of a special adaption of their eyes.

The Glikeich strangely cannot use magic but in turn their outer shells allow them to be near immune to most types of magics, which make them frightening opponements to combat if you only have magic users that is... yet due of their longevity they reproduce rather slowly, not too slow but considerably slower than some other species


Lore: The Leakoan Republic is a Sprawling nation known for its complex trade routes, impressive slave markets and complex yet high quality naval building... The leakoan republic is quite ancient, with the first mention of "Leako" dating back to 2,000 years ago... since then the leakoan republic saw a massive decline since its golden age 200 years ago... which provoked the fall of their naval empire , yet the new government wish to exactly re-establish this once intercontinental spanning empire by any means necessary

Action 1: Expand South
We would expand deeper into the small (yet large compared to the much larger island ontop of my starting location) island by setting up outposts and settlements with some ports near the coasts

Action 2: Construct Shipyards
Due of our maritime nature, we decide to construct more naval shipyards to build construct more vessels for either commercial or military purposes

Nation Name: Kingdom of Dundee
Capital Name: Dun-Caver O' Fenne
Color: Brown
Race: Fenne. Desert-dwelling small humanoids with the ears and tail of foxes, as well as paw feet, hair colour tends to be pale brown, blonde and even white, skin colour is dark, teeth are sharp.
Racial Traits: Small (less strength, more agility), great hearing, padded feet (silent), short lifespan (around 50), frail (wounds more fatal), muffled magic (less magical ability, harder to magically detect).
Lore: The Clans of Dundee rose to prominence in the deserts, pushed out of home after home by larger monsters and peoples. The deserts were not kind, but the tunnelling arts of the Fenne let them get an edge on the surface threats while their excellent hearing and padded feet let them get the better of the burrowing ones. The Clans made underground dens, sheltering them, sometimes connecting several together, creating towns. These towns have enough security to start making surface structures, watch towers and forges, carving out a safe region for the Fennes on the surface. Eventually the first city would emerge, Dun-Caver, larger on the surface than underground, who used their military might and diplomacy to bring all Fennes under one banner, establishing the Kingdom of Dundee, ruled by the O' Fenne dynasty.

The Clan leaders of Dundee gather in the grand palace of Dun-Caver, attending the coronation of the new King. Overseen by High Seer Agnes, King Johan O' Fenne grants the crown of Dundee to his son Marcus, and with it, the reign of the entire kingdom.

Action 1: Crown Marcus O' Fenne the new King, a warrior king of high military prowess.
Crown Prince Marcus has studied under the finest tutors, but excelled in the military arts, becoming one of the greatest Lancers of Dundee. But he really proved himself when given the position of Marshal, taking down 5 rebellious Clans through tactical genius, personally impaling 2 of the Clan leaders while his army took down a third, making the remaining two surrender. Upon seeing his son with the severed head of a Clan leader in each hand, the King knew his son was ready for the crown and decided it best to have his son crowned while in his prime.

Action 2: Develop Warhook (military Billhook).
During Marcus' military career, he experimented with many different weapons, and used them even as Marshal. One weapon he discovered to be remarkably effective is what he calls the Warhook. It is a peasant's Bill, a blade with a reverse curve, for hooking around what you cut, put on a long shaft, with a spike going straight, for stabbing, and a spike opposite the Bill's edge, for armour piercing swings. This makes for a very versatile weapon, especially against larger opponents giving you reach and letting you hook body and limbs, so they have to yield or take additional damage. With Marcus now King there is no end to warriors who want to use this Warhook, and smiths producing them.

>action 1: develop animal shapeshifting
the tanuki are the classic omnivores, eating anything they can get their hands on including rodents, lizards, frogs, fruit, berries, insects, slugs, snails and other small invertebrates. while generally content with their small catch some tanuki managed to observe that certain animals are really good at gathering food, whether it is a bird able collect food in hard to a reach place or a big cat that is really good preying on other animals. the tanuki would soon learn to shapeshift into those creature, little by little gaining understanding of their movement and inner workings

>action 2: develop illusion magic - image projection
while other tanuki is learning how to shapeshift into animals, a certain tanuki storyteller found out that he can attract more watchers by using his innate magic not to shapeshift himself but rather by projecting images outside of his body. the projection image is rather crude and small, only covering the wooden plank the storyteller bought with him to tell stories. soon the tanuki become famous with his innovative storytelling where he narrates and showed his audience the scenes of his story with his magic. his stories "Demonic Foxes: The Tanuki Hotpot Horror Story" and "The Tanuki Five: How The Tanuki Brothers Drove Of the Foxes By Transforming Into A Huge Dragon" become a hit with the tanuki. soon various copycat storyteller would also learn how to project image in sado island.

Nation Name: Azimarius
Capital Name: Azimar
Color: Purple
Race: Azimarians(lizard niggas)
Racial Trait: Giga hella smart, but in mad scientist ways(i.e alchemy before "normal" science, magic over tools)
Lore: The Azimarians are a race of towering and hulking lizardfolk, born and raised in the dangerous swamps and jungles of their rainy homeland. The jungles of Azimar are rife with all sorts of more natural resources, but filled with many a dangerous predator, such that arguably the Azimarians arent even the top of their food chain. And yet the Azimarians grew the intelligence, and the brawn, to overcome their place in the ecosystem, cutting out a land of their own. They possess a heavily communal culture based on variations in scale coloration that at times can be inexplicably minute to outside observers, which allows them to thrive in their home but leads to much fighting and a large number of outcasts. Due to this, their natural hardiness, and other factors they have a most curious intelligence that leans more to the ethereal matters of the world than the practical. After all, what need of iron do they have with rending claws and hardy scales? Now as their race grows in number, so too do their proliclivities around and outside of Azimar.

Action 1: The Azimarian Communes each focus on their own struggles, but first and foremost is the procurement of food. They make sure to cleanse the more fruity jungle areas of the more dangerous predators, typically eating them as well of course, so they have food from both hunting and foraging(Unga more food)

2. With the jungle so overtly rife with life, its no surprise the Azimarians, with their strange intellect, seek to harvest its materials for their own benefit and the benefit of their respective communes(invent Alchemy)

>Nation Name:
Clan of Sagra
>Capital Name:
Daghatar
>Color:
Beige/White
>Race:
(Blessed) Humans
>Racial Trait:
The Sagran tribe are the descendants of the now ancient Hero, Rulo Sagra. Having been blessed with future sight, he has passed this gift down to his offspring who are capable of seeing seconds into the future at a time or potentially longer with deep training and inner peace.
>Lore:
Native to the arid planes, the Sagran Clan is a race that takes great pride in their history, honoring their founding ancestor and cherishing their gift. Taking after the hero Rulo, young men of the tribe often strive to become great warriors and horsemen, training the minds and bodies of themselves and their mounts to match the foresight of their gift. In a similar vein though many such risky careers which would be less desirable in other cultures are found flourishing in the tribe. Danger contraptions and chemicals excite the clan, who with their gift can often narrowly avoid otherwise sudden death from such dangerous pursuits.

>Action 1: Create Stables
Native to the plains, horsemanship is way of life to the clan. Grass grows freely to feed upon and sport has few places to hide from Sagran arrows. Whatever mountable beast resides natively to the area, courageous clansmen will surely tame and breed it.

>Action 2: Create Farmland
The tribe is larger than ever; Simple hunting is insufficient to support Rulo's people. Farmland is to be created and tended in the area surrounding Daghatar.

Nation Name: Aquileian Republic
Capital Name: Aquileia
Color: Purple
Race: Human
Racial Trait: Divine Ancestry
Lore: Humans, once native to the mountains and forests in the east long ago, were displaced by the unification of the Trolls in what is now Big Stone. Fleeing westward, these once disjointed and scattered peoples were united under several banners, as followers of heroic individuals who led the rest of them along their exodus. These four separated tribes converged at the western coast of the continent, and together united and founded the city of Aquileia, their new home, ruled by the families of the four heroes as a republic.
The founder of these four dynasties were venerated for their heroic deeds which lead to the unification of their peoples, and this veneration would quickly become divine in nature. The descendants of these four gods inherit their heirlooms, and their divine abilities with them.

>Action 1: Farmland
Our nation has no agrarian history, and consequently the development of the local land, no matter how fertile, has been quite slow. It is now the responsibility of the Senate to step in and organize the agricultural development of the city.

>Action 2: Ocean-Vessels
The wealthy Senators of the city relax on our shores, and can see with their own eyes the islands nearby. The ocean calls to our people, as it has since our exodus from the east. We must heed this call! Our small fishing vessels are made larger, able to hold more men and travel further distances.

Nation Name: Gragel Underempire
Capital Name: Gragel Waren
Color: Silver
Race: Kobolds
Racial Trait: Small, about half the height of a human on average; Rapid breeders; Ingenious inventers; Short lived; Inbuilt greed; Little Self Preservation.
Lore: Kobolds are a race many others may consider vermin or simply an insane race made by contradictions. The Kobolds are a race that breed rapidly and can live near 40 years; but rarely make it past 10 years of age. This is due to the Kobold's natural greed, kobold mating rituals require shiny or valuable objects, along with their high intelligence and lack of self preservation. This has lead to many a warren being wiped out by their own traps going wrong.
Gragel Waren is named after the patriarch and possibly the oldest Kobold at 45 years old. The waren was dug into the mountains and has only expanded as generations grew and other warrens were subjugated. Gragel then claimed to be king of the mountain and sought to claim all the mountains for himself.

Capital location: Eastern continent; southern mountain range.

1. Gragel need more shiny! Dig Deep; seek shiny! (search for resources)
2. Gragel need food! Others maybe need food; maybe they ate yesterday. More farms. Dig out more cave to raise mushroom and worms. (Build Farm)

(Did a major derp on the time period, very big derp, with my second action jumping time by 2k-3k years, this must be corrected.)

Action 2 Revised: Develop Warhook (Dagger Axe-Spear).
During Marcus' military career, he experimented with many different weapons, from swords to polearms, but one he became really effective with, was what he calls a War Hook. It is a shaft afixed with both a dagger style blade perpendicular with the shaft, near one end, with the tang going through the shaft, making an even more secure fit and acting as a partial counterweight, as well as a speartip on said end. This makes a polearm that can both stab and swing for massive damage, thanks to the long shaft. But the biggest feature is it's ability to hook onto larger enemies' bodies and limbs, even able to grab onto enemies who may be mounted and yank them off their mount. Now that Marcus is king, and has proven the effectiveness of his signature weapon, there is no end to warriors seeking their own Warhook, which makes there be no end to weaponsmiths trying to make these proto-halberds, testing all sorts of configurations, some even mounting several dagger blades perpendicular to the shaft, making double or even triple-dagger axes, before finally reaching a very similar design to the one Marcus O' Fenne used when he struck down the two rebellious Clan chiefs.

The glorious Aak inherit the world around us, but as they expand they come to notice movement of orange fur.

In Aak-tongue they are known as the Orgartanum, the tree peoples, a kind the Aak would prefer not getting into a scrap with so soon. A small family is sent to see about speaking to them, the tongues of the Aak’s neighbours being known to them.

Action 1: Clasticrete (Aakish Concrete)

A revolutionary formulation in Aakish architecture, Clasticrete is formed as a slurry before setting into place, as firm and unmoving as the mightiest stones.

The material quickly becomes popular among homesteaders, architects and begins cropping up in new works all across the Entreaty.

Of note in this era is the Venerable Mausoleum of Clastaa, remade with this new material as the centre of veneration for the Honoured Ancient who taught us to work stone into buildings in ancient times.

Action 2: Grand Visions (Settle another outpost)

Influential families convene on the great walkways for several days to convene, discuss and debate between themselves. Drink is had, bread is broken before a prevailing idea comes to the forefront of the Aak meet.

A grand nation of Aak, cities as far as eye can see. A terrible map is acquired, settlements are scrawled upon all the most appealing sites and arms are folded in consensus. The firstmost site to settle is marked as 1, and perhaps the most tenuous, the river near the mountain.

Families assemble their things, armed with knowledge of new building materials, to see about forming their new homestead upon fertile soil.

The name they choose for this place is Kaanon (Tower-city), though much like the last it is not yet so bustling.

1. continue developing animal shapeshifting
the tanuki continue developing their understanding of animals near them. While big cats and birds are simple enough to observe, more complex creature such as small insects and fishes needs a little bit more effort to be studied by the tanuki. (1/2)

2. build fisheries
having to hunt your food gets old after while and so a few tanukis built simple fisheries made of bamboo and root nets on the coast of Sado so they dont have to hunt further inland.

With the expansion of the various farmland in the empire, along with the attempts to tame creatures that could be utilized as a food source taking longer than expected, a greater deal of effort by the communities working the various farming settlements would swiftly work on ways to make the process easier and more productive. After all, until sizable creatures that could be tamed were found and captured all production of food relied upon the farms and hunting, and the farms were far more consistent. As such efforts to try and ensure more crops grew larger and healthier would be worked upon, so that the people of the Salivanid empire would not need to worry about famine or hunger. After all, if there was one way to cause issues and friction among the various communities that made up the empire it was a lack of food. Still, the search for various large animals and their taming would continue and carry on. It surely wouldn't take too much longer, right? Once food was sorted more important things to ensuring that the history of the empire would last would be able to be worked upon. Ideally, that would not be delayed for too long.

>Action One. Continue trying to tame Elephants, hippo's, ECT, or even just find them at this stage.

>Action Two. Agricultural advancements.

Life goes on in the Kingdom of Dundee, ruled by King Marcus' firm hand and Stewart Johan's wise counsel. The Clans know it best to not cause any trouble, for the military has never been stronger, so any uprising is sure to be short. Some less loyal Clans gather Warhook warriors to try and get a head start on the King's Army, but most see the writing on the wall. The fact this king was crowned at such a young age means the current Clan Chiefs will die of old age before any less competent King gets crowned. Still, the king is young, and Johan can only provide advice for so long until he keels over from old age, leaving Marcus the only one in command, and though he's a fine general, he's a yet unproven king.

Action 1: Establish outpost to the west, toward/at the coast (capital in desert on eastern continent). Name new outpost/region: Ocea-de.
The Fennes have been heavily reliant on cactus farming, out in the desert. Cacti rely on what little moisture the air holds in order to grow, the closer a desert is to water, the more moisture can be collected. While going to the savannas would give us a lot of food, we'd also have to deal with the beasts and people who drove us into the desert in the first place. But there are deserts to the west, toward the ocean, where there's much more moisture, but still isn't hospitable for our bigger oppressors.

Action 2: Develop Ostrich Riders (1/3).
The Fennes have hunted many beasts, bested and slain even mighty elephants and rhinos. But one intrigues them more than any other, the Ostrich. The Ostrich runs faster than even the wind, and especially faster than the short-legged Fennes, but they aren't skittish like the gazelles, no, the Ostrich is aggressive, warlike, and vicious, with powerful kicks that fell many a Fenne. If the Fennes could find a way to mount the Ostriches, they'd be a fighting force like none other, the terror of all other Fennes. But before all that, they first need to catch those birds, whether through hunting or through bait and trap.

>>5238289
Action 1: Construct a farm near the outpost

>With most of the island having been 'colonized' , the leakoans living there would need food other than fishes, crustaceans and other seafood, thus it would only be logical that we begun to set up a farm close to the outpost, said farm(Well rice field) would make constantly rice, which should keep the outpost well fed for a while

Action 2: Send out a ship to rediscover lands

>After the fall of the leakoan empire, the dream of reforming it is still in glikeichans minds, and thus a expedition constituing of a single ship, the 'Onchimede' would be sent toward a chain of islands that the leakoan empire once controlled, with hope of gaining them back...

As the peasantry begins to settle into the newly expanded land; the many clans who displayed their loyalty to the previous Shōgun now come to Shōgun Matsumae with their petitions to claim the new land as their own.

Having pledged his entire formation of spell-swords during the coup, this reward for their dedication to the cause of the Shōgunate is to be well shown to all.

To resolve this he wanders into the forest alone and scared just like his forebearers to speak with the spirit animals and seek their council on how to better commune with them and interpret their actions.

Having been granted permission the Allumni of the Godmuscle get on their way to look for fresh recruits among the Salivanids. Afterall they are really big and more-big means more-muscle.

They of course only recruit from nonbelievers and predominantly look for people with a talent for sports.

*edit: change action 2 to: build farm

I did not know expanding is not the way this is supposed to be played

Fluff: With food now stable for the mean time, what comes next is general education. Having a system of passing along knowledge is of great importance and it can even lead to new ideas that can benefit the society as a whole in the future.

1 action: Stealth Training
With basic training out of the way, games like hide and seek on a more professional level are to be played. There is no grand reward for it, but being able to hide away makes for far greater security than out right defense.

1 action: Develop Schooling
While yes it may benefit to have more selective teachings, having a set standard to learn is of great value. At least 2-3 days a week should have a sizable chunk of time set aside for those that are not fit to work yet to learn from an elder, and perhaps take something of note from them and make it better

>Action 1 - Complete Sturdier Ships
>Action 2 - Farm (Seafood)

Since time immemorial, Glarians have soared on the warm thermals over the sparkling waters, keen eyes searching for the telltale glint of fish in the shallow coasts. Tucked wings and rushings winds prelude the cold depths of the water, beak piercing the scaled skin of their soon-to-be meal. A couple quick flaps later, and the meal can be enjoyed, (or shared, however unwillingly) on the salty shore.

Now though, Glarian are as wont to use their hands and tools as their beaks and wings. Trawlings nets, baited lines, each has turned up more fish than one Glarian can catch on their own, and so the ever-hungry crowds turn to charting out fishing routes, searching for rich fishing grounds and plundering the depths. These new boats, larger and sturdier than before, will serve well.

What interesting future awaits these adventurous souls? That will have to wait, as their bellies can hardly be neglected for such distant matters.

Out here in the vast yet serene emptiness they feel at home, for they are as free as the land they walk.

The initial attempt yields intriguing results, and it’s back to the kitchen for the mad lizards. Boiling, toiling, and occasionally foiling, they brew away the days into all sorts of concoctions and creations. One particular lizard “masterfully yet unintentionally” fumbled around in his lab with just the right chemicals and discovered a wildly mutagenic potion. Struck with the wildly unconventional idea to test this mutagen on a a bed of crops, the mad lizard feeds a bed of vegetables the brew. Nothing happens at first, and frustrated he retires for the day. The next morning, he notices a commotion around the crops he “watered” They’ve turned into man sized plants, but that’s the least surprising thing. This plant apparently “ate” a poor farmer that ended up as plant food thinking that the morning was going to be like any other, not knowing it’d be his last. Instead of excising the mad lizard, he is instead praised as a genius, and a new alchemical crop is created. (man eaters created, a plant that’ll eat a poor unsuspecting animal/people that gets too close and swells in size)

Their sights set on the animal kingdom, the Tanuki aim to become masterful scholars of their critter kin that call the island home as well in order to better learn how to imitate their forms. They further master their shapeshifting skills, but soon learn that there are limits to what they can achieve and that size does matter after all. The Tanuki cannot transform into creatures either much smaller than themselves, or much larger, the dimensional differences are just too extreme and the strain on the body too great. However with practice they learn to adopt the form of these creatures and shape into them them to the proportions of the average Tanuki.

The Salivanid are a determined folk, and continue on with their efforts to find beasts that can match them in stature. Finally they find worthy stock roaming across the landscapes which had traveled all the way to their oasis of all places on an old Migratory route. Giant beasts known as plains eaters waddle along. Apart from their huge shapes, they are generally unimposing creatures. However, the true threat lies in their strange physiology. Covered in hard scales, they are able to roll up into large ball and crush anything unfortunate enough to anger such a temperamental beast. After great struggles, and even some casualties, the beasts are finally corralled, but it’ll be fierce task to tame them. (2|3)

And while fruits of labor blossom at home, there is still the matter of their former glory needing to be reclaimed. With one eye on the future, and another on the horizon, the scouting party sets forth to map out their former territories once more.

Regardless, a steady stream is supplied and overtime the college finds itself with many willing, eager, and useful recruits (Immigration treaty).

Action 1: Make the Man Eaters edible.

The Man Eater Crop certainly has its uses as a deterrrent and generally a interesting crop, but some Azimarians are struck by more fanciful ideas. One of those is to make it so that some Man-Eaters are edible and taste, by virtue of converting whatever they eat into extra tasty nutrients. These Man-Eaters would be plopped into the more dangerous parts of the forest and harvested as they grow fatter from gobbling unsuspecting animals.

2. Build a city west.

As the Azimarian population grows a number of Communes leave or are forced out of generally overpopulated areas, and form a new Grand Commune(i.e city)where the many communes can go about their business and settle their feuds. Naturally these over time grow a distinct culture from the other Grand Commune they left. They name this the Inavar Grand Commune, while the old one of Azimar continues its growth. A bitter rivalry begins to form, for reasons yet unknown outside of some forms of overt stateism.

Lore Point; Heirloom, Blade of Milo Leodrike
As the scattered Aquileian tribes wandered west, through the harsh desert plains, the hero Milo made himself known. Gargantuan sand dwelling creatures, leftover from an ancient and savage time, eating men and women whole, bursting out of the sands in dusty explosions. The people scattered, unable to defend themselves, running for their lives. Amidst this chaos, the screaming of men and the growling of their quarry ceased for a moment, silence lingering in the air. A second, blinding sun shone at the peak of a nearby dune. Though this light was indeed not a sun, as during this moment of silence, the thunderous, bellowing shout of Milo Leodrike echoed through the sands. The light was indeed the reflection atop of his blade, raised above his head as he sat on his mount, a noble horse of the sands.
As his fellow men fled away from the beasts, he instead charged forth, alone, a scream so immense in volume, it is said to have partially deafened many of those he passed. The crowd watched, in awe, as Milo met those who threatened the existence of their nation on the battlefield, a single man against dozens of giant sand serpents, hulking horned quadrupeds, and feral lions. It is said that even as a normal man, Milo was able to fell ten of these beasts, his blade imbued not just with the power of the divine, but with the immeasurably infinite willpower of a mortal, felling those it touched as if they were themselves as strong as sand. After an hour of fighting, Milo's steed was felled, torn out from beneath him by one of the serpents. As his horse expired, the man continued to stand alone, the Aquileian spectators wanting to help, but unable, a force beyond their comprehension preventing them from even shielding their eyes from the blistering sun.
In yet another moment, the god of the mortal plane revealed himself, having taken the form of the horse, and imbuing Milo's blade with his power. Having changed his mind, he attempted to abandon Milo and his people, considering them to be now too weak to be deserving of his power. This godly aspect attempted to leave the mortal realm and ascend back into the heavens, though man would not let him go easily. Milo, abandoned by the god and now stripped of his loaned powers once more releases a shout from his lungs, yet despite lacking the temporary powers of a god, his guttural roar was this time even louder, and his blade once more engulfed itself if a blinding light, though this time not wrapped in soft, godly rays, but instead an intense and reddish-orange flame. The hopes of the Aquileian people were all laid within the aid of this divine aspect. A hope crushed as it attempted to flee.

>>5240753

The last hope for the survival of the new nation lay within the lone man standing in the midst of great beasts, a man now imbued with the power of mortal willpower and hope. This revelation surprised the god, as he turned around and observed this unprecedented turn of events. Milo leaped through the air, no longer a normal man, but a giant titan, with pointed ears and the teeth of a carnivore. The transformed Milo killed the aspect who attempted to leave him and his people for dead, and shortly annihilated the remaining beasts of the desert, turning the sands from an uninhabitable wasteland, to quiet and peaceful dune sea. It is said somewhere in the sands lays a "great glass circle", marking the place where the hero Milo first proved that the Aquileians make their own gods.
The descendants of Milo are the Leodrike dynasty, one of the four main aristocratic families of the republic. The carrier of the Blade of Milo is his direct descendant, male or female firstborn child. Named after their divine ancestor (Milo for males, Mila for females) they carry the same indominable willpower of their forefather. The Leodrikes are known for their headstrong nature and persistence to accomplish their goals, and consequently are the driving senatorial force behind societal reform and progression. Additionally, their personal retinue are renowned footsoldiers, shunning the use of horse cavalry in a symbolic rejection of the god who abandoned their people.

While image projection was a novel concept of storytelling for a while, its wasnt long until every other tanuki storyteller in the Sado learned it and began doing the same thing. a few years later another tanuki found a new idea to keep his storytelling fresh, he would learn to trick not only the eyes of listener but also its hearing. while normally the storyteller narrates the story with its own voice, this one particular storyteller managed to invoke the sound of a roaring tigers, flash of lighting, tsunami waves, tempesteous winds, burning flames and volcano explosion into his story. achieving a level of immersion never seen before in tanuki storytelling history. soon he become the hottest storyteller in Sado and others would learn to copy his trick.

2. Build an outpost (hunting camp) in the mainland to the south
Having tasted the meat of every animals nearby, tanuki hunters would shapeshift and fly/swim towards the mainland in an effort to search for a new, more delicious animal. in the coast, they built a small outpost that also function as a hunting camp where the tanuki hunters can temporarily rest and store their catch before heading back towards Sado island.

>Excerpt 1: The Great Hero, Rulo Sagra - Part 1
Following the collapse of the Empire of the Primordial Dragons and the rise of the beastfolk on the continent pushing humanity further and further East, there was little that humanity could do to defend itself. Plunged into chaos and surrounded by beastial creatures bred for war, humanity was finding itself on its last leg. The latest border of an ever shrinking domain, the tribes of the Steppe faced conflict and incursion almost daily, nearly finding themselves wiped out entirely before the emergence of a hero by the name of Rulo Sagra.

>Action 1: Create the Academy of War
As descendants of an ancient hero of war and humanity's vanguard against the beastial races, a culture promoting strength and preparedness is prominent among the clan. Studious and orderly people by nature, the academy is a natural addition to the city of Daghatar to aid young men and women in achieving their true potential and bringing honor to the clan.

>Action 2: Create the Academy of the Arts
Not ones to allow their lives to be dominated by fear or struggle, the Sagran clan who celebrate their culture and revel in their success often, performing plays, recounting tales and myths, and reminding the people of both their privilege's and responsibilities as a mighty Sagran. This is a place where history is preserved and celebrated so that it may inspire future stories worth remembering.

>>5240778
War is a splendid performance in its own right, and the arts themselves can be a cruel and unforgiving battlefield. Both seemingly worlds apart, yet valuable in their own way. The clan's of Sagra value both and create Academies to honor each. Many Sagrans would seek to study not one or the other, but instead see the value in attending both colleges. The result of this is a unique philosophy of brutish artisanry which is as deadly as it is captivating which, and attracts keen warriors with an eye for perfectionist expressionism. (If your nation's culture value is stronger, half of it will contribute to your military rating. If your military rating is stronger, half of it will contribute to your culture rating)

(First a correction on the map. Dun-Caver is supposed to be smack dab in the middle of the desert. Ocea-de should be where Dun-Caver currently is.)
The Ostriches become quite the sensation in Dun-Caver, though nobody manages to ride them, there are a fighting pits setup, where a brave Fenne, tries taking on an ostrich alone. They find that the Warhook quite effective, managing to hook around the ostrich's neck and legs. Marcus considers joining in, but the sheer death toll among the Fenne contenders is a bit much, even for him, now that he is king. Ostrich eggs become a delicacy for the royal family, and a whole new set of ostrich feather fans are fashioned, allowing them to remain cool, even in the sweltering desert.

Action 1 (Farm): Build Royal Desert Farm east of Dun-Caver.
As food use increases, supplying not only Dun-Caver but also the up and coming Ocea-de, farms start to rise to match. But even though these farms are highly profitable, they also take a long time to establish, during which many a farmer may go bankrupt. Marcus thus decides to make a Royal farm, soaking the startup cost with his plentiful coffers, and making even more money by selling the food from these farms, perhaps even growing some more luxurious crops, perhaps even raising some ostriches.

Action 2 (Military): Develop Rhino Armour (lamellar leather armour).
Fennes have ever been fragile people, wounds that would maim a beast can end up killing a Fenne. Marcus is keenly aware of this, and during his military career tested out many methods of minimizing damage to himself while retaining agility to be able to dodge. One result he found promising involves using leather scales sown together in an overlapping pattern, making it effectively twice as thick and in large panels which would be difficult to get in a single piece of uniform thickness. This leather is heavy though, so not even Marcus can run around with a full set of it, but he needs only wear a cuirass and bracers, to protect his centre of mass and the extremities of his arms, which he's swinging around. There's also attempts to make helmets, but they end up restricting sight and/or breathing, which is bad when you're running around a battlefield filled with trip-hazards. But if something handled the running and awareness of terrain for them, then the helmet would become more ideal.

But with all that excitement comes the question of exactly *what* to trade them. Foodstuffs are out of the question, Aquileia has enough for its own, and Illyria's food supplies are needed to ensure a steady increase in population. Then, a royal councilor has the idea: what about wood? The Aquileian lands are mostly grassy plains with little of this universal resource, while Illyria is chockful with dense forests to exploit. Henceforth, the plans for further agricultural development in Emerald Hills will be pushed back on schedule to establish a lumber mill in the neighboring pine forest. It will be outside the settlement's area of direct influence until it reaches, but the help of the domesticated horses is bound to make the job easier.

The Salivanid Empire had a fairly peaceful time for most of it's existence, however that has changed now. A number of strange folk of the south struck a number of farming communities of the Empire. Ironically, they didn't get much of what they came for, as while there was plenty of food to loot from the settlements, the women fought alongside the men of their communities, utilizing what tools they had available as makeshift weapons, and even in some cases taking the weapons of the raiders. Still, they were not soldiers, and even with their strength, size, and durability, the raiders had unnatural strength as well. And, unlike the people they were fighting, had proper combat experience and proper weapons. Of course, while they would get away with plenty of food and at least a few slaves, they likely took more casualties than they'd like, and once the news of the raid got to the capital, what few raiders weren't already returning home with plunder were forced back by Salivanid soldiers who actually knew the basics of combat unlike the poor villagers they struck.

Despite the raids, the Empire continued as it had, even if a shift for the safety of the people was likely in the near future. For the great plains eaters that were captured were viewed as potential beasts of not only burden and livestock to add to the food of the empire, but of war. Of course, that latter bit would need to be worked upon later, but first and foremost at the very least the Empire would soon have a far more stable food supply, and the agricultural advancements potentially could benefit from their taming. Still, work on better methods of growing food went on, just like before...Soon though things would change...For better or worse. Regardless the communities of proper soldiers would be on alert...

To say there is a "King" of the Glarians is downright a lie. What there is is a loose collection of families and tribes, whos members intermingle freely due to the ease of travel that one is granted by flight. As a result, word gets around fast, and so all the Glarians know of Sofronio Sofrosson. He 'ruled' by might, for he was bigger and better than any Glarian in living memory, with a wicked cunning to match. He 'gang', as it were, enforced a tenuous peace, a feat made both difficult and easy by Glarian nature. Difficult due to their impulsiveness, easy because a well-fed Glarian is one of least violent creatures in existence. With the new ships and ever-increasing tides of fish coming in, it looked like Sofronio was set to rule till the end of his days.

But well fed mortals, sated with safety and stability, turn to the one thing they truly exist for. Making more mortals.

Soon enough, the beaches and huts of Gremus see Glarians packed in far tighter than usual, bumping wings and beaks no matter where one goes. In a fit, Sofronio effectively banishes masses of the population at random, urging them across the narrow oceans so that both parties can finally get some damn room to spread their wings!

Oh so last turn was more of a scouting thing?
1.
Construct another farm, specializing in the harder to cultivate tropical fruits of the Oasis.

2.

The world stands to see another dawn, much to the surprise of all that dwelleth it. Yet for how long will this trend of peace? Mayhaps not long, for something unsettling stirs. The heavens fortell, the bone's forecast, and the dreamer sees that something comes over the horizon...

>Kefka of Azmiar
A fruitful use the Azimar have conceived for their new and strange little “pets”. Great care is taken in cultivating the maneaters. Time is spent carefully selecting promising specimens, feeding them choice and strong prey, and then crossbreeding the plants. It takes generations but finally the Crafty Lizards have birthed the ultimate crop! The end result is a rather invasive “crop”, resilient enough that it can be planted utterly carelessly and still thrive, giving even the biggest dullard a green thumb (until it gets bitten off, at least)! Less plant, more of a vegative beast at this point, these creatures grow like plants but are practically all meat. Further, the more they consume, the larger they become, becoming a mouth-watering feast that’s hard to pass up. Scattered in different places around the forest, they provide not only a good source of food, but safety that both feeds and defends the new Inavar Commune.(Farm and city built)

>>5240768
>Jugemu clan
Reality shatters. What is real? What is fake? Can one even be sure they’re just not an illusionary conjuration of a masterful trickster? Certainty is perhaps the greatest illusion which is utterly thrown out the window when a Tanuki is nearby. Guard your faculties well, for when one of these furballs tread in your presence, you may never be able to return to normality. And yet, the world will have no choice but to face these gods of mischief as they encroach upon the Western continent. Driven by their tastebuds, the Tanuki break shore and begin to carve out a small community for themselves on a world far larger than they have yet to imagine. What fascinating friends or foes await them? Time will tell.

>Ikaan Entreaty
In preparation for the future, a feast of fruit as varied as the number of the cities soon to dot the landscape are planted. Within a few years the fields are flourishing and the people are singing as they have more variety and stable food than ever before. A rich culinary scene begins to develop in the Entreaty, and aflood of mouth-watering dishes sweep across the lands, each seemingly more delightful than the last! These delicacies will surely reduce even the most stalwart of food critics to a defeated pulp. (Every farm contributes +0.5 to your culture rating.)

>Dundee
A Farm? In the middle of the desert? You’ve got to be kidding me. There’s no way they’d actually - and there it is. A-I.. They… what? I don’t know. Maybe they stumbled on a weirdly fertile pile of sand, or perhaps they’re just growing a really confused breed of plant that forgot it needed water. Whatever the reason is, they succeeded to build one. More based in the realm of reality, the development of the Rhino armor goes well. Certainly true to their name, it’s a thick layer of skin needed to protect the otherwise glass-statured Fenne. Yet one can’t help but chuckle a little at the sight of the one of these little furballs moving and running around like a stunted little stone golem.

>>5241067
>Kingdom of Illyria
The river of commerce flows within Port Royal, promising a royally enriching future for not only the city, but perhaps for the entire Kingdom. Weather or not that holds true, however, depends entirely on those who claim to be in charge. It wouldn’t take long however for exports to leave in droves from the port, as the lumber yard of Emerald hills provides not only enough for the young city, but a surplus to be sold off as well. Something the carpenters of Aquileia would most likely be very eager to buy as they’ve been working to expand their maritime efforts. (You can trade double the resources you actually have when dealing with allies).

>Huterangia
More important than sciences, gold, or even sex is: Food! And the people of Huterangia know this.Eager to feed nation, more farms are plowed into the land. First it’s business as usual. Ripe harvests are plucked, juicy meals are had, and the bellies of the 3 cities are satisfied. But recently, the farm to the South has noticed that some strange outcrops shooting up out from between the rice. At first seemingly just being a strange offshoot of some unknown fruits, some foodies decided to give these plants a try. They soon discovered the plant had no future in any dish, giving an utterly horrid taste. But this only masked it’s true value. Those that partook of it felt invigorated, neigh, healthier than before! Its effects are incredibly minor, but soon these crops are given to the sick and weary, aiding them on the path to recovery. Maybe… with a bit of study, these properties can be advanced? (Boon Fruit discovered).

>His Serene Highness, Prince Rendei I
The land fills with the people, and the people fill with the teachings of Father sky and Mother earth. But words of caution begin to circulate among the learned. The people are becoming too numerous, and spreading too far from the holy center of Ossenchis. The Father’s reach is vast, but that of our mortal forms is far too limited and we can’t keep watch over everyone. Even worse, the communities on our borders are reportedly beginning to *shudder* practice deviations of our teachings. NO! This CANNOT stand, lest the land fall to anarchy. (Build additional cities to expand further, or a sect deviant of your religion might find footing further out)

>Godflesh Collegiate
The muscle headed men of the Godflesh focus, concentrate, and conjure their sheer desire to “get swole” into… a magical rock. Though let not its bumble appearance fool you, for it is not just an amalgamation of stone, but the culmination of a Godmuscle’s pride. The creation of this spell is a rather trifling thing surprisingly, but as soon as it’s conceived it becomes a cultural hit. Not long after many Godmuscles proudly showed off their strength by conjuring the one thing that symbolizes their absolute limit, only to grow in size and show that they can become even stronger. Among their number it became a game of sorts as well for godmuscles to summon their “mountain” and try to lift each other’s until one reached their limit. Silly, but fun to watch. Ah, and somewhere between all these shenanigans a fish farm springs forth as well. That protein sure will go a far way.

>>5241990
>Salivanid Empire
A monolithic effort, but one that pays off in the end. The plains eaters have learned who the true masters of the plains are, and humble themselves before the Salivanid. Though let not their eased nature fool the casual onlooker, these are still short tempered behemoths Treat them as a friend, and you’ll know a companion more loyal than most. Anger it though, and you’ll know what piece of dunk caught under a cartwheel feels like. Perhaps in a twist of fate, these creatures also held with them the key the Empire had been seeking for in enriching their crops. The dung of these animals is extremely potent, not only in a smell that can knock even a Viersperan out cold, but in fertilizer power as well! (Farms give +1 food).

>Gragel
Earth and fire, blood and sweat! The mountains roar with the clammer and skittering of numerous Kobolds as they bring their passion into the world. After months it is finally complete, the thing they’ve dreamed of for so long. A forge stands before them and she is by far the most beautiful thing the little critters have seen. But she’s not yet complete. No sir, not by a long shot for there’s still more that can be done. With one dream manifested, they set on to the next: the mega forge (trademark pending)! Who knows, with their ingenuity, and a few work related accidental deaths, they might just push the limits (1\2 forge expansion)

>>5242227
>The Squawking Ruckus
Banished? More like “free from your bull-guano!”. Good riddance say the Galarians as they flutter off to lands beyond. It’s a relatively short flight before they find a new place to call nest as they found Parala just across the channel. Enjoying their newfound freedom, they rejoice and cheer chanting how free and independent they before they realize… there’s no good food around here. For a minute they all just stare silently around before one’s stomach growls loudly enough to break the silence. Like a starting pistol just went off, they race to the shore and establish with relative ease a small fishery of their own. Guess if you want these scatterbrains to focus, there’s nothing quite like a good crab that’ll get them motivated.

Their former homes might have been stripped from them, but their innovations can never be taken! With a gleeful and somewhat spiteful disposition which is slightly terrifying to see in such a giant creature, the trolls work the land once more and bring forth the fruits of their labor

>Rhayney Daze
A center of education, the first of its kind. How wonderful. Guess the one thing that won’t be croaking in these lands is knowledge, eh? Eh? Anyways. Its walls are put to good use as not only does the elder’s wisdom carry over to the youth, it is a place for the inquisitive thinker to let his mind wander to new places. One of these particular frogmen, a scholar as well as a 4 time hide-and-seek champion allowed his mind to explore the more esoteric realm of magic and stumbled on to the idea of the branch of ignorance. Combining the stories the elders passed down of the little magical knowledge spread by word of mouth since the furthest ancient times, the Scholar spends the rest of his life pursuing this idea. Finally, a few years before his end, he succeeds in his life’s work and passes along the knowledge of ignorance magic to a few adepts in his final years.

>Leakoan Republic
Settling in the shadow of this ancient part of our great history feels like returning to the shores of our home. What spectacular, or frightful, things from our past lie hidden within, waiting to be returned to the light of the sun? For now, establishing the beachhead takes priority as we dig into the land and ocean alike, erecting a new outpost and harbor.

>Matsumae Shōgunshoku
The fact that we have left the sea an untamed beast for as long as we have is, quite frankly, a shameful display of the Kitsune! That changes TODAY. Throw everything at the waves.

(You’ve advanced in ship construction).

Raising both bow and livestock, the Clan of Sagra aims to not only thrive, but rule the steppes. Very few can claim to be as graceful a shot as a Clan rider, nor shepherd as fine a meat as that from their domesticated critters. Thus far, theyr reach is set to seize the land as far as the sky itself stretches!

Is there anything sweeter than the taste of fine wine? Actually, there is. The fresh ocean breeze carries a far more fulfilling aroma: that of adventure! As the roots of the vineyard settle into the land, so too does that of the Republic in new soil in the form of Milonis. Surely the oceans will be ours! As long as we don’t remember to drink and drive at the same time.

(Forgot to post the raid action, but I’ll mention it here)
Slowly the lands of the Sensei is transforming into a warmonger’s hidden paradise. Come for the tropical fruits, stay for the bloodthirsty raids. Truly quite the brochure. And now among the latest attractions stands tall the temple of Karn! Let warriors of all walks of life reach its steps and bow in reverence to his greatness! It’s magnificence, so grand, can’t help but inspire brutality in the sensei, and once more they gather their tools of war and head to raid the lands of the Salivanid.

Lore point: The Kikkawa

Long having been confidants and allies of the Matsura Clan; during Matsura Hirauji's coup against the Kōgō the Kikkawa Daimyo; Kikkawa Suguno cemented his Clan's staunch partnership with the Matsura. In recent times, they have been granted the fiefdom of Honraoi provenience, of which it's special soil has netted the clan quite the treasury. As a result, the already sizable clan has begun to elevate the more promising levy families to full Retainer status. More and more begin to don the O-Yoroi of the elite warriors of Kitsune society...

1. As the Kikkawa castle town of Honraoi continues to grow; so must the peasantry be fed! This all not to mention the rather unique properties of the soil here. Once trade is established with whatever Nanban exist, no doubt this will bring much into the coffers of the clan...and the Shōgunshoku as well, of course.
(Farm!)

2. With the northern mountains now at least partially under the control of the Shōgunshoku, mining can begin in earnest. No more will the blades of the Shōgun's retainers make due with Pig Iron.

The contact with the Aquilieans has made voices among the tribes realize how much the Illyrians have been lagging in terms of developing culture. Not wanting to be outshined by the Men of the Eagle, the King puts a plan to really turn this fledgling association of tribes into a *true* kingdom.

>Passive expansion: making it snake up the river
>Action 1 (Building/Industry): Build Mine (Stone Quarry) in Emerald Hill
A lot of stone will be necessary for the building plan, a resource the Illyrians are not used to using, at least not on such a scale. It was tempting to ask the Aquilieans for advice, with their sumptuous temples and palaces of marble, but the plan was to stand out culturally from them, not merely copy them. The Illyrians will just have to learn as it goes. For now, a quarry needs to be opened beforehand for the raw material. The western hills will make do.

>Action 2 (Exploration/Culture): Search for dragons in Northern Illyria
The true crux of the plan depended on dragons, said King Drak. There were gasps in the assembly of his councilors and ministers as he spoke those words, and a sudden spark in their eyes.
Dragons. The ones that started it all. Mighty, noble, terrifying, holy. Seemingly countless in their varieties. The apex predators among beasts both natural and magical. With the fall of the Ancients and the sinking of the mythical Isle of Drakehaven that served as their capital, how to communicate with these beasts has been lost, and there hasn't been any sighting of them in a thousand years. Some were even doubting their existence outside of the stories of the priests, but the existence of the Dragonblooded served as living proof that they once existed and may still today. Dragons are necessary if the Illyrians want any chance to rebuild a Dragon Empire worthy of the title. Legends speak of the mountains to the north, supposedly riddled like cheese with a system of caves and tunnels filled with troglodyte life where a colony of dragons could nest. The search will begin there and in the surrounding forests.

1. Continue forge upgrade 1/2
Trade Mark? Why trade Mark and who buy? No trade Mark; Mark make good jester. No greedy, get back to work on forge. Dig out more bigger furnace to smelt lot of metal into shiny all at once! Yes yes.
2. Build another farm at the southern warren
Who in charge at new warren? Scrump? What kind of name Scrump? Never matter, write scratch letter to Scrump warren to make farm. Ship them wood to make mushroom farms and fish from mountain river. They send fish back; fish delicious. mmm. Chef, make Gragel fish with mushroom sauce!

The farms east of Dun-Caver are vibrant and green, though also an extensive endeavor. Wells are dug for miles, to provide water, which needs be hauled by Fennes and the farther ones use Ostren (renaming the Ostriches) as beasts of burden. These miles of desert are tapped of water to support a farm measured in acres. Because of this the Royal Farm isn't as profitable as Marcus would like, but it does give him political leverage, and is the primary location for Ostre-raising.

Action 1 (Farm/Naval): Establish fishing ports at Ocea-de.
As people move to Ocea-de, some setup farms, some start hunting, but some start fishing at the shore. Fishing ends up way more rewarding than the meager pickings in the desert, as people develop crude spears, nets, rafts, etc. Whatever gets them to the fish and lets them catch said fish. The lack of naval technology does limit the amount of people that can fish, nevertheless the fishing boom ends up blindsiding Marcus, and gives the clans a way to compete with his Royal Farms. The vast influx of meat into the local diet also makes the Fennes of Ocea-de grow up hardier than their inland cousins and makes the population growth immense, which could threaten the O'fenne hegemony over the desert.

Action 2 (Military): Develop Ostre (renaming the Ostrich) saddle and harness, also train Ostre-riders.
With the Fennes gaining more control over the unruly Ostren, soon someone tries to mount one, and succeeds. The Ostren provide a ridiculous speed boost to the dimunitive Fennes, but then the Fenne falls off and the Ostre runs into the horison, never to be seen again. Marcus catches word of this and brings this Fenne, named Oscar, into his court. He hires the finest leatherworkers and has them develop a saddle and harness for the Ostren in the royal farm, as he has Oscar train riders, first of which is Marcus, who soon rides through Dun-Caver on one, with well groomed feathers and the finest saddle.

With Azimar and Inavar separated, the two Grand Communes begin going down separate paths of genius, as expected.

1. In the Azimar Commune, the lizards begin working on breakthroughs in self-applied magic, be it hardening their scales or letting acid drip from their claws. Enhancement Magic is pioneered by these fool-hardy geniuses(invent Enhancement Magic, self enhancing only, soon to be trademark of the capital of Azimar)

2. In the Ivanar Commune the lizards focus on the more natural arts of alchemy, slowly turning their practices into more organized formats of learning and science(Alchemy, plus more rigorous alchemical activity and organization of materials and experiments. Proper alchemy shall be Ivanar's trademark)

>>5243027

Throughout the Iaakan Entreaty even the poor eat like kings, it appears, the multi-limbed lizards often making lengthy trips to widen their pallete, marching south to sample the fruits of the orgartanum and north to meet the culinary skills of the Mor Colleganium.

Action 1: More cereal (A farm)

Over the years Gyd alone has grow comfortable and familiar, but the Aak continue their quest to domesticate crops, growing and cultivating plenty of new ones to hopefully find the next Gyd.

After a while, they believe they may indeed have found just that, a small farming community unveils a section of food items in the growing outpost of Kaanon that quickly spreads in popularity, each item made mostly of Zotes. Fit to feed livestock, be rolled into rolled zotes or simply be crushed into zotemeal, this versatile food may never eclipse the Gyd, but may act as a strong contender to it.

It’s taste is as one may expect, but the colour of the oats tends to “bleed” out and render anything made using them a distressing bloody red. Frequent and near-exclusive consumption may also pigment the skin, if the new pink glow of the Taka family is anything to go by.

Action 2: Fruit (farm, closer to Iaakon than the other farm)

Across the river empire a selection of fruits are cultivated for enjoyment and sustenance, the foremost of which are listed below.

Jammbat, an odd, stalky plant that grows a large fruiting seedcap, the inside of which is packed full of natural jam. The actual edibility of the plant is questionable, but the nutrition and delectability of its nectar is undeniable.

Imenityfroot is named for the many-eyed collegium folk, this plant looks from a distance to be a tree full of many fist-sized colourful eyes, staring about at their surroundings.
After removing the iris shaped seed from the middle, the fruit can be sliced or eaten whole for a remarkably tart and fairly sweet snack.

Barberries are an extremely sweet fruit that grows, as the name suggests, in thin rectangular bars by the bushel. They are a joy to devour whole, with a surprising amount of the flavour coming from the skins which when peeled, leave behind a rather bland, firm inside.
Aak favour leaving the skins on when mashing the Barberries into jam as a result, and early attempts at making a fruit wine have met with promising results.


Use my 2(?) expansion this turn to connect up to Kaanon

With the animals properly tamed and the raid recently endured, the Empire shifted it's efforts to that of defense. For while food and famine were of great worry, the recent work had ensured such would be harder to come by, and so far the greatest threat to the food supply was that of the southern barbarian raiders, or Velix Selin Keliro as called in Salivanid tongue. As such, two things were decreed of the utmost importance to the empire. Weapons, and the materials to make them. Of course, the latter was of greater importance to most, as without a strong metal, weapons and armor could not be made. And while surface deposits of iron and copper weren't too hard to find occasionally, greater quantities were needed so as to be able to not ruin tool production and to also naturally make actual armor for the Viersperan, just considering how much was needed to properly cover one fully or even partially. Still, a number of ideas for weapons that could easily deal with the smaller raiders were planned and thought of, along with weapons useful for fighting opponents of a more equal size. But one weapon of the latter category was actually able to be worked upon even now. The Lakin. Specifically Lakin Alvi il. Great War Bows. The arrow heads could very simply be made out of large flint stones, or even this step ignored and just made out of sharpened bits of wood. And given the size and strength of the Viersperan and the bow, it was likely that it didn't even need to penetrate armor if it managed to hit one of the Velix Selin Keliro to take them out of the fight. Still, it was best something was developed sooner rather than later, and this, combined with a few other plans, would ideally serve to aid in the future defense of the Empire. Ideally, once safe from the raiders, the focus could return to more productive and prosperous things. Though at the very least this work already would do well to increase productivity of tools and similar.

Throughout Iaakon influential families barter and debate with eachother, the first true noble houses arising from at first simple farmers, and then those who use their talents to buy and lord over yet more lands.

Wealth begins to be measured in acres, for power in the Entreaty flows not from its deep mines or thronged phalanxes, but from its soil.

In the concrete halls of Iaakon Ireejaks (Family-meets) seem to be called all the time, discontent rises over the current rather lax and aimless form of governance that currently persists in the nation, families even from far-away Kaanon need travel to the capital several times a year to give their input on important topics.

It would be inaccurate to say there is truly a democracy, but certainly a meeting of varied influential voices.

>Action 1: Otters (Culture?/Food?)
The rivers and coastlines of Huterangia are found by their Huterang settlers to be the home of a social and communicative species of small mammal that can be readily tempted with seafood. The Huterang soon bond with these otterly adorable creatures, finding them not only to be playful and cheerful companions that can easily lift a spirit; but also animals with a fair number of utility - their swiftness in the water allows easy capture of fish for themselves and those Huterang wishing to dabble in pescetarianism, whilst their nimbleness and sharp teeth also provide some modest additional protection of Huterang food through the predation of insects and rodents.

>Action 2: Boon Fruit (Science/Research)
The invigorating fruit discovery soon has the eyes of the intelligencia, with many herbalists, apothecaries and even the mysterious alchemists setting their minds to work unlocking the enormous potential in life improvement and medical potential that these fruits seem to offer the Huterang people.

An old people's have come to visit our land. Self described delicacies the Tanuki are a small hairy race which apparently hates kitsune (whatever that is). Whether or better or worse the first people they encountered were those of the Godmaw collegium and were easily won over by the foo requesting admission into the hallowed halls of the Collegium by own will! The wish shall be granted.

As agreed recruiters are sent to the nearby Tanuki town/outpost on the mainland to look for willing recruits wishing to learn the arts of cooking and eating! Soon really large and round tanuki will be walking around in the nearby area, but unlike obese humans they just look fluffy and adorable!

> Action 2: Fish for the desertfolk (build trade route to Sensei)

The trade route has been finalized and finally the trade route is to be buikt. Overseen by the Godeye Collegium the trade route will extend from the fish farm trough their College Town all the way to the Sensei capital delivering various marine products all the way to the oasis-city in the middle of the desert! Let us hope the trade is fruitful and cooperative and leads to a strong and united humanity in the west.

>Action 1 - Build Temple in Parala
>Action 2 - Build another sea-farm to the south of Gremus

The tiny town of Parala sees a new ruler in place, a Galarian who crowns herself with a headdress of shells and fish bones. Appearances, it seems, weigh heavily on her mind, and she is often heard complaining about the differences between Gremus and Palara to any featherhead who will listen.
"Look how much more they have, look how nice their hut-nests are, why can't we build such and such" and 101 other complaints seem to flow endlessly from her, her talent for whining matched only by her mastery of make-ups, oils and other trappings of personal beauty.

The incessant moaning drives the others to action, more to shut her up than anything else. The 'banished' set to building a grand site to behold, a large temple to the sky and waters jutting out from their growing village. At first it was a pity project, but as the days went by and the sea-shell adorned walls grew higher and higher, more feathery hands came to add their dues, marveling at the sight.

Meanwhile, Sofronio is pulling his feathers out. With more room to themselves, the forward thinking Galarians decided to... have more babies. At least a few families, showing (relative) smarts, decide to make their home further south along the coast. For now, Gremus is safe from overcrowding, but Sofronio anticipates there being more beaks to feed soon enough. In a stunning display of incompetence, he decides to order new fishing fleets, ensuring that even MORE food is available for the birds-yet-to-be, despite others insisting some other solution must exist besides flooding the nation with food.

>Excerpt 3: The Great Hero, Rulo Sagra - Part 3
Never one to shy away from the rewards of fame, Rulo was a prolific lover, bearing many children throughout the Steppe for decades until much of the Steppe was a direct descendant of the Sagra Dynasty. Although unintentional, this act of selfish hedonism would prove to be a great boon to the human race, passing on his gift to his children and his children's children, until the Sagra Clan had grown into it's own demographic, with significant influence over the region and a vast majority of the population carrying his gift.

>Action 1: Farms - Conscripted Farming
Although the clan had more than enough food to subsist at this point, a deep desire to expand and unite the Steppe motivated the Sagra clan to go beyond - encouraging large families and practicing a collectivist agricultural structure to support expansion. The notion of private property did not exist as strongly among the clan as it did in other civilizations; Although homes were owned individually, land itself belonged to the clan alone. Farmers did not own the plots they toiled in, nor did they choose their own hours; Although some volunteered and would go on to live successful careers as supervisors in the fields, most farmers worked under a sort of seasonal conscription - a punishment for opting out of the service.

>Action 2: Military - Develop Training: Resolute
The clan's boon is one of great power and potential - a gift to be revered for certain. Unlike the power of many other races however, it's power is not intrinsic like the blessing of great strength or speed might be. To effectively utilize their foresight, the Sagran body and mind must be honed rigorously. The first of such lessons in the growing Sagran "Book on War" is the doctrine of the resolute mind. The foresight of their gift means nothing if the time granted is wasted on fear or hesitation; The mind of a clan soldier must be unyielding and their actions must be immediate.

Fluff: And with knowledge prevalent, perhaps something can be done with it. It only makes sense to use the properly claimed river as a resource.

1 action: Culture; Food Preperation
How a meal tastes is important, But how a food looks is just as much so. Food is an art, and making one food look like another should be considered a true accomplishment. Perhaps.. if food is prepared we enough, it can even hide otherwise dangerous ingredients. But that’s for later. For now, it is to just look pretty.

1 action: Farm; Fish Farm
And while bread and various hunted animals make for great meals, fishing for additional meat properly should make for a great diversity in meals.

(Posting two turns on behalf of Acreon, because he missed his last turn.)
-Making up for missing last turn-

As the Gibilins continue to migrate around the Dagaroth forest, they live their lives as best they can under their nomadic lifestyle, however several Gibilins eager to prove themselves and to better themselves gather every fourth night to seek new innovations or improve current crafting or harvesting methods.

Action 1: (research) Find ways to harvest the bark from living trees in a shorter amount of time to meet the demand the tribes demand for wood.

Several Gibilins that attended the gatherings, saw that the tribe is ever growing and that the craftsmen who work and harvest and work the wood for the tribe's use,were having some difficulty finding dead or sick trees to harvest the wood from or the time consuming process of getting bark from live trees without cutting or injuring them.

Action 2:( scouting) Search for beasts of burden that can be used by the tribe.

-Current turn-

The Gibilins will search for beasts of burden using their hunters. The bondlins from the tribe depart into the woods not to hunt but to search the woods for beasts that may be used to help the tribe ferry items that may be heavy for them and to carry the sick and elderly.

Action 1: (economic) Find better ways to harvest leather from the animals brought back from each bondlins hunt.

Another group of young Bondlins, eager to out compete their brethren go around the camp consulting some elders and bondlins alike while practicing with whatever meager scraps of leather they were given to see if they can improve on the current methods used to harvest leather from the animals that were hunted.

Action 2: (magic) Follow up on the advice that was given by spirits that dwell within the forest.

The Gibilin shaman returned with great news to his people, when the next full moon was in effect the Gibilins shall celebrate this occasion and the shamans success to gleaming new wisdom regarding their protectors.Taking the animal spirits advice to heart they prepare various delicacies and games to occupy the members of the tribe where much song and dance will be held while the eldest amongst the Gibilins shall recall various tales of Giblin legends and the actions of heroes past who were aided by the spirit guardian, with the final event of the festival meant to appease the Spirits.The final event will be led by the shaman who will be draped in the skins of the mightiest predators the bondlins have slain while donning several necklaces made from the bones of prey animals with face markings made from the blood of animals, the shaman shall bang his drums while danced and sang around the bonfire following the rituals of his grandfathers.

>action 1 :Build ancestral shrines in Sado

The tanuki embarked on a project to build a grand ancestral shrines dedicated to the the five tanuki ancestor, the ancestral shrines will have one grand hall with five branching pavillion for each ancestor. the pavillion will be a place where the tanuki can perform their worship and submit an offering towards the specific ancestor.

The first pavillion is dedicated to Paipo <the dragon>, the eldest of the the five tanuki. He is divinely gifted with the art of shapeshifting. according to legend he once transformed into a huge dragon to defeat invading kitsune army. his preferred offering is a grilled eel.

The second pavillion is dedicated to Shūringan <the waves>. a genius in the art of illusion magic, he invoked a an illusion of giant tsunami waves to scare off a thousands of Kitsune naval reinforcement. his preferred offerings is ornate shells.

The third pavillion is dedicated Gūrindai <the mountain>, the largest of the five tanuki. after the tanuki suffered a disastrous defeat at the hands of the Kitsune, Gūrindai transformed into an immovable Mountain that blocked the path of the Kitsune army allowing the tanuki to retreats safely. his preferred offerings is a oddly shaped rocks.

The fourth pavillion is dedicated to Ponpokopii <the Maze>. the smartest of the five tanuki, she was in charge of the overall strategy of the tanuki forces. according to legend he created the stone sentinel maze, an array of rocks and boulders that trapped the kitsune army for 10 years. her preferred offering is a flower.

the fifth pavillion is dedicated for Ponpokonā <the keetle>. the youngest of the five tanuki, he is by all account an average tanuki not gifted in shapeshifting, magic, strength or intellect like his elder brother and sisters. but not a single storyteller would dare to call him as useless. after hearing reports of of kitsune army kidnapping tanuki childrens for their hotpot, Ponpokonā bravely sneaked into a Kitsune army camp by himself and shapeshifted himself into a tea kettle. at one point one of the kitsune used the teakettle to boil tea, not knowing it was a tanuki in disguise. Ponpokonā preservered, he endured the painful flames and finally he suceeded in rescuing all the tanuki chilrens after the kitsune left. his preffered offering is a tea cup.

>action 2: build another outpost (lumber camp) further down the river to the south
the tanuki hunters explored deeper into the mainland, finding the woods here sturdy and very suitable for construction. they build a lumber camp to cut the wood and floats it north to the first camp.

>Action 1: Study the ruin

The Leakoan settlers on said island would study the structure that once was a symbol of a leakoan empire... the island that said structure was discovered on will be named after the structure...that is if it has even a name

A trade route with the outlanders from the north is completed, where the wealth of the sea is brought in, and tropical citrus is sent out.

The snake men have defeated our warriors, what a great fight! Their arrows cut through the flesh of the Sensei in quick order, perhaps we could do something to stop that, atleast until we are close enough to swing an axe. A simple wooden board laminated with the scaled hide of the cart beasts serves as large shields for the Sensei, intended to be held aloft until close and then discarded.

The sun rises and the world still stands. Far have its children crawled, making strides the globe over, though humble are their achievements for they are nothing in the grand scheme of things.

<<<GLOBAL EVENT>>>

Despite this, there are forces beyond them that have taken an interest in this budding world, and thanks to the sins of the Godskin, they now have the cracks needed to slip into the world. Seems that killing a God does not come without consequence. Silently, without shaking the world or shattering the sky, strange gates appear outside the capitals of each nation in the dead of night.

The citizens are shocked, understandably so, for how could something so massive and ominous simply sneak up on them? There is a strange slab present at each one, and scrawled across it in the words of the nations is the following message

"Praise your patrons for they have deemed fitting of their attention! Given to you is a way to reach them, a door to their realm. But not freely is their favor given. The gate lies dormant, sealed, and only by proving yourself truly worthy to them by overcoming the trials set forth for you will the locks shatter and the pathway open. Beyond its reach lies gifts and treasures beyond your wildest, mortal fantasies! But we warned, this will be a trial of your entire nation. Once the gate is opened it cannot be closed, so ensure every man and woman is ready for that day."

>>5243041
>His Serene Highness, Prince Rendei I
Prudency is a virtue of the faithful, and never can one be caught lacking as it dishonors the great Father and Mother. Heeding the warnings, Prince Rendei the First quickly blesses the founding of another holy center. The wisdom of his years show, as along with this decree comes the commission of a farm. Truly a fruitful venture that will see not only the faith secured, but the faithful fed as well.

>>5243059
>Matsumae Shōgunshoku
The Shogunshoku strike into the Mountains of the north and find… copper. It may not be ideal, but still, something is better than nothing, right? Meanwhile the farm is built and a greater abundance of food is produced (crises) Maybe… too much food? Mountains of food begin to pile, most of it spoiling before ever being touched. The spirit of sloth infiltrates the lands. There is a bounty of food, so much so that there’s not enough mouths to eat it all. People become content, lazy even. “Why bother with work when we’ve got all the feed we ever need?” A common saying proliferating itself among the kitsune. Action needs to be taken soon, before idleness runs the country to the ground.

>>5243110
>Kingdom of Illyria
The first step to achieving magnificence is choosing the right material for the job. In order to erect monuments of splendor to leave the other nations in awe, a grand quarry is dug out of the lands of the emerald hill. This will prove vital in the completion of many monuments. Meanwhile explorers seek out traces of the Kingdom’s passed hidden outside of its borders. It takes many months, following folklore and fairy tails, but finally they find something promising. In the mountains to the North an ancient hold that hasn’t seen inhabitants since long ago still stands, a shadow of its former self. At first nothing seems to be extraordinary of it, until they find what appears to be the skeleton of an actual dragon resting within its hold. How exhilarating! Perhaps searching this place will reveal more on the grand beasts?

>>5243254
>Gragel
Fire and Farm, food for the furnace as well as for the everyday kobold. These are the tasks that the Gragel follow for this time, and unsurprisingly they find success. A farm blossoms in the land, but as much as good food is cause for celebration, the only hype among the kobolds today is that of their forge. Advancements in assembly and industry have lead to breakthroughs in the advancement of refinery and forging. Don’t believe me? That’s fine, actions speak louder than words, and the kobolds have produced something worth a thousand of them! With their improvements made, a ingenious kobold beyond eager to put the new tools to the test toiled day and night for nights on end to produce a grand object of incredible promise (Your forges now give +2 industry, as a bonus you have produced a mythical item).

>>5243564
>Dundee
The newfound fishery proves to be an explosive boon to the fledgling outpost of Ocea-de. Tired of the same old dried up and unfulfilling food of the capital, many flock to the newfound city and soon it’s numbers rival even that of Dun-Caver (Your city’s population explodes, upgrading it to a full fledged city). Thought for what it lacks in culinary variety, the capital makes up for in military development. The new saddles provide an important step in taming the Ostre and enabling the Fenne to ride them with surprising expertise. It’s not long after this discovery that the first ostre riders parade themselves through the streets of Dun-Caver. Surely these will prove a valuable asset in war.

>>5243728
>Kefka of Azimar
The concept of magic is vague, but not new to the Azimar. Folklore of ancient shamans and their feats have survived through word of mouth even into the common day. Yet the Azmiar have always been inclined towards the sciences (if one could call it that) as apposed to superstition. Yet, there are few who dare to dwell in this pseudo-science and investigate the art of Self enhancement. Initial trials prove that there might be some promise, but more study will be needed before a conclusion is met (1|2 for enhancement magic). Counter to their Amimarian counterparts, the Inavar delve deeper into the realm of natural sciences, seeking to uncover the secrets of alchemical knowledge. (you’ve built an alchemist’s lab)

>>5243777
Further expands the fields of the Entreaty, and have more food than they’d ever know what do with. They flourish, but too late do friendly hands reach Kaanon. For the longest time they’ve survived in near solitary conditions. Unable to rely on shipments of food that would spoil before they ever reached them, the people of the furthest outpost had to carve for themselves through foraging while fighting off the giant spiders that called this region home. After many generations however they have come to not only tame these foreing lands, but the very predators that chased after them .Finally, as their numbers swelled they asked themselves “What need have we of Iaakon? We have proved that we can survive by our own hand far outside of the mainland. What then hould we be beholden to them!?”. (Kaanon declares its independence, and has tamed giant spiders that hunted them in the passed).

>>5244117
>Salivanid Empire
The Empire had never been under the illusion that the world was a safe and merciful place. The passed raids of the Khanate have proven to their assumptions correct: That there are those out there hostile to their way of life. If they're caught lacking, the barbarians will surely plunder them into ruin. A fate best avoided. To this end, the military fields see themselves the focus of the Salivanid Empire. Great Bows are soon developed to further the mighty reach of their troops in war, delivering death from afar. Yet this alone would not be enough. Seeking to further their edge, they observe their lands for any advantage the earth might provide the with. Yet all that the earth holds for them is strength of wealth, not of might, as they discover a deposit of diamonds in their borders.

>>5244326
>Huterangia
Only one word can be used to describe these otter creatures: CUTE! Their adorableness factor accompanied with their practical uses means they soon become a sought after pet within the Huterangia. Ah! Even I want one now… Right, back on track. At the same time as this cultural trend, another wave sweeps the nation as the wondrous boon fruit find themselves in high demand. Seeking to exploit the wondrous property of this fruit, the greatest Huterangia minds dedicate themselves to unlocking its potential. Yet these efforts will not come easy, and it will take a lot of study and the advancement of unknown arts to achieve this (1|2 alchemy).

>>5244424
>Godflesh
A strange amalgamation the lands of the Godflesh have become as not only a wide variety of their own walk the streets, but now those of other nations even come to call those same roads home. Trade and immigration flourishes, and the days seem pretty normal. Until a horrible wound tears open off to the side of the capital! Alarms ring out and the troops amass as from this horrible scar pours forth creatures as varied as the Godflesh themselves! The city is overrun with panic in the first hour as no-one knows what to expect. Calmness begins to return steadily as these strange beasts seem un-bothered with the city and its residents, rather waiting patiently as-if seeking an audience. Obliged, officials from Godskin campus ride out to meet these beings. (To be continued via IC-diplo.)

A handful of settlers leave Bigstone at the behest of the oh-so wise chief who *totally* knows what he’s doing. Drur takes hold, tucking itself neatly within a cave not too far away from a scenic river in the plains. It’s a peaceful life out here, rather quite and contentful. Another farm is built to feed this newfound camp, but it attracts unexpected visitors that end up ruining fields! These are creatures known as Pison, towering swine roam the landscape, eating both beast and plant alike. Perhaps these creatures will make worthy companions, or a delightful snack for the trolls? (You discover a pack of Pison, giant pigs which have eaten your new farm! Decide their fate).

>Clan of Sagra
Anticipating the future is one thing, but anticipating that it might not go as planned or even as seen is another. One slight change can throw any expectations out of the window, and with it coherency. This is understandably unacceptable in the midst of a battle, and the troops begin to train to remain focussed even in the unlikely event that things will not unfold as they’ve perceived (1|2 battle cohesion)
Yet another farm occupies the land, this time worked by the conscripts who trespass on the code of honor and service. Many work their term as intended, but there are some free-spirited individuals that decide they’re better suited to individualism than clan service. Some of the conscripts manage to slip away from the conscription, exploiting predicted gaps in guard posts and shift changes using their future sight. (A criminal element begins to take hold. It is too small to bother with for now, but may grow to be a problem in the future)

>>5245108
>Rhayney Daze
Great care goes into preparing one’s dish, as first the eyes feast before the mouth ever takes the first bite. Many years of training and truly scrumptious are the results, for never before has the Daze known such delights. But the real value isn’t in the food itself, but the demand it brings. Masters in the culinary field will always find a place for themselves in any society. Something these masters of infiltration could surely use to their advantage… (Farms give +0.5 to your infiltration strength).

>>5245249
>Covenant of Dag Da
One cannot claim to be of the forest if he does not, in fact, work with it.
Special tools of stone and twine are crafted and employed, allowing for ease of harvesting bark by skinning trees even while the tribe is on the move
Dire wolves are not uncommon in these lands, preying not only on goblins alone but the spirits that dwell here. Strong, sturdy, and super dangerous, it will take effort to harness these beasts for your use.(1|2).
Skinning beasts is not a new art, but finesse is something yet to be learned. Masters of the hunt practice and finally perfect the clean skinning of their prey.
No sooner does this pay off, as the shamans practive the advice of the spirits. They garb themselves in the skin of beasts, painted in their blood, and walk as they would. Never before have they felt this connected to the land. For some it is just too intoxicating, and some shamans become utterly feral, running into the heart of the wilds, never to be seen again. For those that stay, a true, powerful connection to the land is made. (Shaman magic acquired, you can appeal to the spirits of the wild for boons. But be careful, not all will take kindly to being called by mortals).

>>5245267
>Jugemu Clan
The Tanuki begin a monumental task, one that would be even so to creatures twice their size. A great temple begins to take shape in their home land, and its foundations are laid. More work will be required to complete such grand work, but already it becomes clear the rewards will be worth it (1|2). The newfound outpost will prove valuable in providing the resources needed to expedite the construction.

>>5245411
As the slaves work to sprout potatoes and feed the new colony, the Glikeich work to uncover the secrets of the ruin. On the surface it appears to be no more than a fascinating piece of forgotten heritage. On the onset it appears that far more was lost than just land, the architectural knowledge alone is world ahead of whatever the Republick could possibly grasp in its current state. But more than a blas of the passed, something truly valuable is found. Clearing apart some of the rubble, a vault is exposed once more to the world. After strenuous effort, its shell is finally cracked and its contents revealed. A massive atlas carved within the walls of a grand chamber displays in vivid detail the world at large. As grand as this information is, even more valuable is the mystical property it holds. Different colored flames cover different sections of the atlas, including one showing the Republic as well. (You’ve discovered a massive world map, displaying the location and sprawl of the other nations)

>>5245505
>Sensei Khanate
As great and noble a pursuit as war is, there are times one must foster relations with an open hand, rather than brutalize them with a closed fist.Even the Khanate knows this, and take care to foster their first connection with another nation, surely bringing in to them a stream of wealth which will be sure to fuel their efforts. This is quickly proven true as the Sensei learn from their previous encounter, and employ the resources brought in from the Godflesh lands to craft for themselves heavy, sturdy shields to provide much needed defense against the ranged assault of their enemies.

>>5245508
>Republic of Aquileia
A wealth of culture is valuable, but where it fills the pride, coin is what fills one’s purse. The Republic follows their neighbor’s lead, eager to cash in on the wealth which is crossing regularly between the Kingdom and the Republic, and constructs a marketplace to facilitate this development. With the marketplace founded, goods are needed to attract those with tender. To this end, merchants scour the land in hopes that it holds riches they can offer to a hungry market and faithfully it returns their efforts graciously. A deposit of Emeralds is discovered West on the edge of a small forest.

>>5245776
The answer to such things is simple. We need to begin instigating ambition among the Daimyo. As their ambition grows, no doubt they will begin their petty wars amongst each other. Dead levy matter little anyways. However, the issue of Iron is pressing. Copper is completely useless! What can be made with copper that is better than the pig-iron already being used? Bah! Nothing would have been better...

Actions:

1. Metsuke. The agents of the Shōgun are established as her eyes and ears within the lands under her domain. If the peasants shirk their duties; the dutiful Metsuke will ensure their village is "visited" by the local Daimyo's retainers to sort things out. Remind the peasants who is their lord, and who their lord's lord is.

2. A source of quality Iron is to be located if we are to improve the civil and military infrastructure of the Shōgunshoku. The O-Yoroi is quickly being found to be expensive and time consuming for a method of warfare that Shōgun Matsumae seems to believe will go the way of the Kogo soon enough.

The ever-pouring grace of him above and her below do not cease for Leaux-Cándois nor for the house of Cándois, for in her late years Her Serene Highness has (after five sons and two miscarriages) a long awaited daughter. Prince Rendei, still spry for a man of such an age, is said to dote upon her more than all matters of state! So it is that for the first time since he took the throne, his ministers are the ones to decree that a port be built in the natural haven of le Cuipot du Osson i Sangoire.
But a more pressing issue draws the prince from his paternal revelries, the sudden appearance of a supposed gift from the gods fills the people and court equally with distrust. In the many years of worship, they have never before presented so obvious a gift, working through the favourable machinations of nature. The thing is a mocking abomination, ordered immediately to be destroyed, when no pick or axe can damage it their fears are all but confirmed, instead it will be walled up in dressed stone into which prayers for forgiveness to the Father of the Sky and Mother of the Earth are to be engraved.

Panic strikes the kingdom of Dundee, they have gained the attention of their gods, a most ill fortune. Fenne gods are neither kind nor merciful, the Fenne just excel in hiding from their wrath. Already people are blaming Marcus for being too overt, the gods have noticed his growing military strength, reaching for the sea, farming in the desert, even circumventing the Fennes' naturally low speed and lack of strength by making them ride Ostren. However, Marcus will not kneel, not to the divine apologists, not to the growing power of the O' Sea family to the west, and especially not to the cruel gods themselves. Johan didn't raise no coward.

Action 1 (Internal Trade): Build Royal Markets west of Dun-Caver.
While Dun-Caver is unable to compete with Ocea-de in obtaining high quality food, Dun-Caver still holds the advantage in wealth and population. Marcus assigns his father, Johan, to building the Royal Markets, through which all imports and exports flow, and cracking down on any trade with Ocea-de not going through the market. This gives the O' Fennes a lot of control over Ocea-de, able to restrict the flow of tools, clothes, Ostren, etc. Unfortunately this was Johan's final contribution, and he soon is bedridden from a minor illness, with Marcus at his side and draped in the finest Ostre-feathers, he has no regrets. As his father draws his final breath, Marcus wonders if it is truly just old age, or if the gods who made the gate have decided to snatch him away to try and humble Marcus.

Action 2 (Military Infrastructure): Build fort around the dormant gate.
Before any trial is to be even attempted, we first want to be secure. A fortress is built around the dormant gate, miles of underground tunnels, vast barracks and Ostre-pens, sandstone walls ward against inside and outside threats alike, a network of wells and even local farms to ensure it can weather a siege. New warriors are to train here and be tested here. Marcus will make regular visits to whip his men into shape, to make them strive for greater and greater prowess, develop new technology, and be ready for whatever exits the gate, and whatever disloyal Fenne that may try to seize it for themselves.

Gate Action: Check to see what is the first trial.
With a fortress setup around the gate, Marcus walks forth to inspect it personally, surrounded by a thousand of Dundee's finest warriors, riding Ostren, clad in heavy Rhino Armour and armed with War Hooks. Whatever comes out of the gate, they will be ready for it. He reads the slab personally, ensuring no disinformation from potentially weak-willed scholars seeking to trick him in favour of the cruel gods. Also he ensures the gods know Marcus is the lord of the earth, that down here, they obey him.

>>5246148
The prime pantheon of Dundee is different from most, made up of three cruel gods, who have brought nothing but devastation to the Fennes, and continue to curse them with misfortune and suffering. There is no love for these gods, just desperate weaklings seeking to curry favour with their abusers.
The Celestial Lion, Sol Infernus, god of sunlight and drought, ravages the lands with his radiance, drying out lakes and burning the skin of those who stay in his light for too long. Some may pray to him for mercy, most just dig shelters. The Bestial Lord, Prima Brutus, god of beasts and slaughter, hunts any who stray from the desert, and some even for leaving their foxholes, for not even the desert is entirely safe from her hunger. Some pray to her for mercy, to not be slaughtered in their hunt for survival, though many know it futile, for she only favours the strong. The Dragon God, Rex Hominum, god of humans and greed, usurped the fertile lands around the desert in favour of the larger humans, driving the Fennes into the desert in the first place, seizing the great wealth the Fennes once had. He is the most hated among the gods, but there are worshipers who seek to evade the sword of conquest, or even those who seek to become humans and be accepted as an equal... after selling out all of their kin.

With gods like these, there is no need for devils, yet, there is one, a niche god, weaker but going against the flow.
The Cat of the Moon, Noctis Serene, goddess of night, moonlight, mercy, the morning dew, subterfuge, caverns, cats and cacti. She brings a break from Sol Infernus' baleful light, bringing in the dew one finds in the morning. She hides the Fennes from the beasts of Prima Brutus, giving them the caverns of Dun-Caver, even being the one to allow the taming of the Ostren. She also helped distract Rex Hominum and his humans long enough to permit an orderly migration into the desert, shrouded them from detection once gone, and taught them how to survive, as long as no Sand Cat is harmed. For the favour of Noctis Serene is earned by sparing her beloved Sand Cats, even more dimunitive than the Fennes, and from which they learned to hunt that which is not seen, but instead heard, underground prey. Noctis Serene does not have the power to directly oppose any of the prime pantheon, but instead tricks them, convincing Sol to make night, Prima to make bonds and Rex to deprive the desert of resources.

So while the Fennes say all the gods are cruel, just like all rules, it has an exception. Noctis Serene is beloved by all who believe in her, so perhaps the gate was sent by her, to let the Fennes break the cycle of suffering.
If so, one would expect the gate to be a monolith as black as the moonless night, but which lights in moonlight, with different passages depending on the phases of the moon. It cannot all be read at once, but has to be compiled over the course of a month, before the final piece slots into place, revealing the message.

Sadly Gragel passed away but his son, the one with the most shiny, rises to the throne to receive the mythical item; a scepter spear mix made of iron mixed with the bones of predators and in the shape of a kobold claw holding a sphere of polished stone with a blade at the bottom of the scepter. With a quick declaration of 'Me in charge now' Gragel II rises to the throne.

1. Research tunnel fighting tactics
Gragel the second quickly got to work revolutionizing the military that his father left ignored for quite some time. With the empire actually growing into something of real use the military would need to actually protect the territory from traitors and invaders. As such he pits teams together using practice weapons and hones his strategy for fighting in the kobold tunnels; mainly relying on a core of heavily armored and large shielded swordsmen at the front and using long spears over the shoulders of those at the front to strike at a safe distance. Units will fight and lead enemies down hallways into crossroads where different units wait to flank the enemy from three sides. Spear soldiers can also be replaced with bow soldiers to strike at a farther distance if they are wary of getting into position.
2. Open the door.
While whatever 'patron' may have wished some preparation from the kobolds before they opened the door it forgot how unwise the kobolds truly were as it tempted the small creatures with words of shiny as, like all others, the warning of danger fell on deaf eardrums. The door is opened under no command but the collective screeches of "My Shiny! Mine!"

Kaanonite Crisis (57 AAC) (After Aak Confederation)

The effective secession of Kaanon from Iaakon and the refusal of their leading families to attend the Ireejak is met at first with laughter, and then disbelief. What was as surprising was the fact that this was allowed, there was no system of governance that prevented such outright succession. The Ireejak was voluntary, one could not be forced to attend, and so with no legal recourse save the thin bureaucracy that caused the secession to begin with, Aak took to the streets.

A period of intense chaos enveloped the city for a time, different groups using intimidation and violence to have their voices heard, given the Ireejak was no longer an effective solution. Too many voices, not enough done.

In the aftermath of the crisis the foundations for a new and proper government are laid, one in which every family may cast a vote to elect one family to a position of unparalleled power over Aakkind.

Time will tell how this reformation affects the agrarian Aak way of life, but for now many are simply pleased to see a return to stability.

Aaktion 1: City

A new city emplaced on a three-pointed river, this settlement is known as Triiodon, for both the rivers and the three pronged spears used to fish in them.

This is a city founded after the restructuring of Aak governance, and as such is the first to be actually planned out in any significant way. Local Ireejak halls for petty governance, districts for the affluent and less fortunate, it could be said that Triiodon will form into a city most expressive of the wealth imbalances of this era.

Aaktion 2: Farm (Toweryaak dairy)

There is no greater friend to Aak-kind than the trusty Toweryaak. Gigantic, soft, docile and hardy, they sadly did not follow the Aak to their new home, preferring to stick near the mountains.

This group of particularly displaced Toweryaak was spotted not too far from the new city site however, giving the Triiodonites a perfect opportunity to domesticate these beasts and acquire delicious Yaak milk and for their culinary endeavours.

Dragon bones. Dragon bones. *Dragon bones*. When the message reached the capital after months, it felt as if Asteros himself had stuck a claw in the clock of time. Disbelief. Euphoria. Hysteria. The dragons were real. *The dragons were real*. The word leaks, people run in the streets singing hosannas. They were so far still, yet so tantalizingly close.
The appearance of the trial grounds only brings more confusion. The to=iming seemed oddly perfect. Had the Primordial Dragons seen the discovery and sent a challenge in response? Or was this a trickery of the Fell One? Of some other dark force? Or was it a sign from something completely unknown?

>Capital Passive Expansion: Depends. If Kulpy allows, south. If not, east.
>Action 1 (Expansion): Establish settlement "Wyrm's Rest" in the indicated crossed spot in pic related
The discovery of the lost hold, and the dragon skeleton inside, sent a number of Port Royal's population into great fervor. It was a holy site, according to them, no doubt. A whole portion of individuals that were just waiting for an order to go forth and colonize beyond Emerald Hill suddenly had the perfect excuse. The caravan seems to spawn from nowhere in barely a week. King Drak barely has the time to meet them and give them his blessing before they leave. The young monarch watches them disappear in the horizon under the light of the dawn, a slight smile on his face and a warm, fuzzy feeling in his heart.

>Action 2 (Exploration/Culture/Religion): Search for dragons, part 2/?
Now, to the matter of the trial ground. All the most eminent dragon priests in the capital gather around it to discuss along with King Drak and General Syzjarr. The stone says: "You'll need the fires of hell to sear through the first lock. Nothing made by mortal means will suffice." Obviously, it meant dragons; the dragon imagery everywhere in the structure made it obvious. But what type of dragon? The dragons most associated with fire were the warrior scions of Solarion. Some priests suggest that "of Hell" could mean from under the earth, like the volcanic sons and daughters of Bahamut. Yet some others say that it could mean from a realm beyond Death, which would mean the ephemera-wielding shadow wyrms of Morn the Silent. The green and blue of the eyes of the dragonheads on top of the red could also hint at Leviathan and Yggdrasil. King Drak says that they may as well search for anything remotely draconic at this point. And yes, he insists, even the spawn of the Fell One, if only for good measure. The order is given: the search parties shall drastically increase in number; the search area shall expand to all lands west and north of Port Royal and even a bit east. A specific search party is told to follow in the wake of the settlers to Wyrm's Rest and investigate the ruined hold; there gotta be something in there, maybe a map of something.

>Action 1: Gunungtam
With a number of Huterang having recently moved to live on and around the great mountain, it is only natural that the lands around the mountain's rising base are soon earmarked for a new settlement. The outpost of Gunungtam is founded, and whilst most Huterang settlements hold some degree of vertical spread; it is wondered by some of the settlers just how more 'upward' the mountain alongside them might allow their young town to someday rise.

>Action 2: Farm
And as the people of all towns need to be fed, some land close to the new site of Gunungtam is given over to farming. Traditional crops will be planted of course, but also a local fruiting plant of the slightly higher altitude - bulbous red orbs that are not as sweet as most fruits, yet hold a delicious tang all of their own. It's always good to have a speciality to trade with the neighbours.

>Passive expansion
With the north and west now filing up with Huterang and towns, it is south along the coast from Utpalem that is now the easiest route for Huterang families seeking a place of their own.

>GLOBAL EVENT
The Huterang scratch the other sides of their head at this strange appearance, and the strange pronunciation upon it. Patrons? Realm? What? The knowledgeable take a break from their studies to examine this curiosity in greater detail, though the warning makes them wary of preceding any further.

1. Finish the self enhancement magic.

2. The Ivanar Azimarians natural aptitude for alchemy results in the creation of a number of stable potions for their uses. Amongst them rises a class of Alchemical Overseers, who run the Alchemy labs throughout the Grand Commune. They order about those beneath them and organize proper strains of potions, powders, and other drugs.

>>5245785

The strange gate which came about was to be for the most part guarded and ignored after an agreement with the god slayers of the north. Despite this though, given the potential dangers of another raid and the new bows, the Salivanid Empire would have it's archers train day in and day out to perfect their accuracy as best they could against smaller targets. The power of one of their bows was grand enough to be on par with siege weapons of some of the other races. Despite this, the targets were oft small, and while a well placed shot could kill or incapacitate a few enemies, they still needed to hit in order to do such a thing. Still, the training would not only ensure greater accuracy but also greater fire rate, and ensure that a good number of the strong bladed troops would struggle to reach the line before they were felled, and a good thing too given the fact no metals were found. Other than this, a forward outpost to defend the river from potential poisoning by the raiders and to act as a early warning of future raids given the general direction the Velix Selin Keliro seemed to come from. This outpost would be set up around the small village of Aldin Alvi, though with it the village would slowly grow to be something more...

>Action One. Train Archers.

>Action Two. Build an outpost near the start of the river called Aldin Alvi.

The 3 black circles drawn, if it's 2 just then 2 not sure farm built applies the turn it is built or the turn after.

> Action 1: Build farm where I drew farm
Trade with the Sensei has increased demand for food and where there is demand supply must be met... additionally those of the Godmaw hope that building a farm closer to the Aak will make the crops grow as tasty as theirs.

> Red Sword of Rage (military action apparently)
A red-crystal sword proportional in size to the rage and hatred the user feels. If a cut with it penetrates the skin it will do to the enemy damage equivalent to what the user is wishing to do. The user has to imagine every cut.

Best among the Godskin Allumni can one experience a weeks-long torture session with a single cut. This power thus works best against those truly hated and Godskin students practice how to do meditations of rage which allow them to over time develop pure hatred and loathing towards anyone they desire. The skin they graft onto themselves helps with the meditations as they feel the full range of trouch trough it. Thus make themselves experience excruciating pain by tearing it.

It also is useful in duels as victims of skinning are often left alive so strikes from rage blades of other Godskin students often hit multiple fake layers of skin damaging only the people in the torture chambers of the other multiple times before getting to the true skin.

The Red Blade works like this:
- if you cut trough someone's skin it inflicts on them torture equivalent to what you wish you could do to them emotionally so from your rage/hatred

Grafting skin of others onto yourself means if the skin is cut by a red blade the person whose skin it was actually experiences the torture. Otherwise the grafted skin is used to torture themselves during rage-meditations
Godskin students meditate to increase their rage and hatred which often leads to self mutilation due to wishing to feel pain they feel the grafted skin akin their own tearing it apart.

>Build a Castle in the eastern mountain peak, as it is far from our current sphere of influence it will likely be independent
The Sudlungers are not yet a true nation, not in the united sense. They are a collection of races, a cultural group, worshipping the same gods but, for now, under different allegiances.

Glacius is the home of the frostmen, humans of blue skin and red eyes. But the Giants seek their own home, away from the crowded lands where they often must battle with the humans for seals and mammoth meat. They head east, to build Jottunburg, to become an ancestral castle capital for the giants

>Build a settlement in the northern craggs, as it is far from our current sphere of influence it will likely be independent
The Ogres and Trolls too conflict with the more civilized men, who drive them north into the craggs. There they will build a collection of caves, a new settlement, that will become the famed Ogreheim

>The Giants build a mammoth farm near Jottunberg
Mammoths are a vital animal for the Giants, able to be both ridden and eaten and milked and shaved for fur pelts, their bones and tusks make tools and weapons, and their meat is savory. They are strong to do labour, and carry big blocks for their mighty castles. The giants gather and start to herd these creatures, to tame them for their use.

>Action 1 - Citywide Cleanup [Culture? Health?]
>Action 2 - Faster Ships [Military]

It starts in Parala, the shiny new temple espoused by the whiny Galarian women, who has crowned herself Highest Priestess Levana and taken up personal residence in the Temple. She grabs others by the feathers, dragging them around and pointing at the rotten fish guts, littered bones, and 101 other messes that Galarian life leaves all over the city.

"Clean it!" She squawks, improvised brushes and dried sea sponges being pressed into unwilling wings. "I want this place looking shiny! Shinier than anything in Gremus!!!"

Of course, an unhappy Galarian can just take wing, and soon enough the news of the grand project comes to Sofronion's ear. In a fit of rash competitiveness, he gives much the same order, and so begins The Great Scrubbing!

Meanwhile, more level-headed Galarians are pre-occupied with what's really important.
FISHING.
Of course, the new boats, much better than the old rickety fishing ships, have worked wonders. And yet...
The nearby waters sees so many Galarian boats trying to plumb the sea, it can be hard to even cast a net out! But who wants to waste half a day going somewhere farther away for some quiet and proper fishing? Faster ships will solve this, the Galarians looking to mimic their own wings for the sails, and the sleek shape of the fish they so covet for the hulls.

with the work on on the grand tanuki ancestral shrines nearing completion the tanuki sets to work on decoration. an argument was made on what kind of material should be used to decorate the grand ancestral shrines (each pavillion will be decorated with illustration depicting the respective ancestors legendary feats) , while the debate is ongoing someone mentioned that a tanuki hunters discovered a new kind of of paint in the mainland outpost. the idea is to mix and knead together soot (from burning local woods) with natural glues from fishskin which is then slowly dried and turned into inksticks. to make ink, the inkstink just needs to be grind and mixed with a little bit of water. the tanuki found ink the perfect material to decorate their ancestral shrines as it easily sticks to wood and is strong enough to endure local climate. soon a new batch of tanuki was sent to to build an ink manufactury near the southernmost outpost.

Fear: the greatest tool in any ruler’s arsenal. The people spring back to work under heavy handed guidance, but be careful not to tighten your grip too much, or the people just might snap. The search for iron is a desperate one. Search as they might, only one location is found to be promising at the most northern most point of the island, most likely the only Iron on the island. What’s worse is that it is incredibly poor quality and will need exceptional handling to make anything usable out of it.

A truly wise man is Prince Rendei to recognise that there is nothing more important than family, for is that not the only thing to truly prioritize in one’s life? The ministers might see it differently, but the Prince has guided them faithfully over the course of his long and prosperous reign, and see nothing wrong with allowing him his parental indulgence. By their instruction the port is built, but the gate itself can’t go overlooked. Further proving his prudency, the prince orders it entombed. For the time being there is nothing else that can be done than simply keeping out of sight and out of mind, but problems swept under the rug are sure to fester in one way or another…

A powerful military is one thing, but one can’t discount the battlefield which is the market. In a wise move, the first one is built in Dun-Caver. The coin from this is well spent to erect a fort around the suspicious gate that’s perched itself right on their backyard. Cautiously though, it is examined to reveal the first trial:
In every era there is a great hero that embodies the nation of the time. Prove yourselves to be as great as you boast, and give rise to a champion that slew beasts many would deem impossible to kill.

Discovery of the ruins and the fossil within drives the Kingdom into a frenzy, and for good reason. The city of Wyrm’s Rest doesn’t take long to spring up as thousands flock to this now sacred land, trying to find a little piece of the former fairy tail for themselves. The explorers investigate the sight further, and at first it doesn’t look like there’s anything of any particular interest here further. That was until one of them noticed something extraordinary about the cave the ruin was built into: This place wasn’t shaped by the hands of man! Investigating the dragon’s remains confirms this hunch further, as its resting posture is asif it had closed something and collapsed shortly after. Examining the wall at the back it becomes clear what it was doing, the dragon had sealed something deeper in by bending the earth itself! With vigor the party dig into and after a month of exhausting excavation they finally breached through the thick layer of earth and discovered something worth more than a castle of gold. It was a nursery! The dragon had sealed in dozens of its eggs, even better they were in prime condition, as if waiting in stasis to be re-discovered. Perhaps the fire of life can be rekindled in them once more…

Perhaps in the future it’ll be worth investigating, but first more important matters must be addressed.

Extraordinary claims requires extraordinary evidence, and desperately the ruins are studied for such answers. Yet little is found, except for a previously overlooked room hidden away by more rubble. Within it little is found, mostly books to tarnished by time to be of any value save for one which appeared to be a journal. Most of the pages are ruined, some still have scattered words here and there but without context they’re meaningless. There is one thing of value though, a small drawing of island just east of the homeland. There a location is marked on its southern shores, perhaps something worth investigating?

Of course. The Iron is little better than the pig iron we have been using. Still, the tried and true technique of folding the metal several times will have to do in order to keep the metal up to snuff. However, there are other ways in which the smiths have been experimenting with in order to improve the quality of the metal...

1. The more superstitious smiths have done as some oracles do, and use bones. They believe the Kami of the animals will imbue the weapon with their strength. While the Shōgun and Kogo both seem quite skeptical of the supernatural origins of the metal; there is absolutely grounds to say the metal is made better. While this is the case, it is very clear that more work needs to be done in order to truly isolate what in the bones makes the metal stronger, and how to use that to get the most out of it...
(Steel 1/?)
2. The retainers of the Daimyo have always been an integral part of Kitsune society. Ours has always been a martial culture; and it is time that we act upon it. A revamp of the social class system is in order; one that places the Retainer firmly above the merchant and the peasant below them. They shall be those who serve. Samurai. A warrior's honor and duty is to be respected, and emphasized above all else, even between class. An honorable levy is to be seen as better than a dishonorable Ronin. The system shall be as such:

1. The Shōgun
2. The Daimyo
3. Samurai
4. Ashigaru (Volunteer peasant soldiers)
5. Merchants
6. Peasants

> (magic) Create Broken Abstraction school of magic
The broken abstraction school of magic allows one to pull abstract concepts such as emotions, ideals and nonphysical properties into the realm of what you can touch... and break. A solidified concept always embodies what is is, rage a sword, magic a staff and homesickness a home. Each abstraction can only have one physical form which varies in size and shape on the 'strength' of the harnessed desire/value/property. If the solidified abstraction is destroyed the used temporarily looses it. If one's red blade is broken they will be unable to feel rage and hatred for a few days after.

> Most basic spells associated with the school
Crystal Staff of Magic - a staff appears neat to user allowing him to harness and controll his magic more precisely (minor effect no mechanic impact just fluff). When combating enemy mages can be materialized and destroyed making them incapable of using magic for a time. (this one is the mechanical thing)

Golden Orb of Divinity - a gods divinity is crystalized in form of an orb. If the orb is destroyed the god can be killed.

Golden Thread of Prayer - a spell which solidifies the genuine prayer and belif of a faithful into their divine into a thin thread which connects the two, possibly allowing a member of the Collegiate to find their path to the god.

Pink brew of wellbeing - a pink liquid which represents a persons health and wellbeing. Many members of the collegiate collect it into bottles when they feel particularly good slightly weakening themselves so they have a supply for days when they feel sick or get wounded. (can only be used on yourself)

> The Collegiate-Jugemu Borderwar
Tanuki students at the Godmaw Collegium are temporarily detained and put in Godflesh custody unless they agree to aid in the wareffort on the side of the Godflesh Collegiate.

After the Tanuki have encroached on our land and broken our border-agreement we have deemed it necessary to retake what is ours and establish a safe east-west border at the river.

The grand strategy is as follows. The Blue Arrows represent our navy. The Collegiate Navy shall launch a surprise attack on the Tanuki capital port attempting to destroy as many transport ships as possible and retreat as soon as the situation turns dire. After that the navy is to perform hit and run attacks against the Tanuki navy mainly against their transport ships to prevent their capital-army from coming onto the mainland.
The ships shall be staffed by the Godmaw which know the Tanuki best, the Godeye because trough their divine eyes and divination abilities they have the best chance to see trough tanuki illusions and lastly the tanuki defectors who agreed to aid the Collegiate. They also shall assist in seeing trough the illusions.

The dark red army (thin line) is a tiny force from the Collegium of The Goddregs. They shall poison the river which fuels both of the mainland Tanuki cities. With both food imports from the mainland cut off and the river poisoned the cities should be starving. Admittedly though the poison is likely diluted heavily in the river so unlikely to be lethal maybe will give them diarrhea or weaken them.

The main army so the armies from the 2 cities are to secure to create defensible positions along the 2 rivers. (thin red line)
There should not be much resistance on the east-banks of the river hopefully. Tactics will mostly consist of Godbone shieldbearers in the front, Godeye archers in the back, Godmaw used like warelephants, Goddregs used as saboteurs, Godskin used as charge and light cavalry and Godmuscle used in a generalist role. Either throwing rocks at the enemy or engaging in direct melee combat. To dissaude Tanuki from using illusions prisoners will be taken alive when possible and brought to the battlefield in cages or tied to poles and will torture them to reveal if they currently see illusion magic being used. The Godskin are really good at torture.

There is vigorous debate, on what the trial means, who sent the trial, and if we should even entertain a trial from the cruel gods. Yet there is the issue of what god made this gate. The swords that make up it would indicate it's Rex Hominum, but he would never make statues of Fennes, he only ever favours humans. Delving into the records of minor gods grants us no insight either. Though the patron is unknown, the possibility that it's associated with Rex' greed cannot be ignored. Then Marcus says that if it is Rex who try to influence them, they shall rebuke him, by fulfilling the trial with the slaughter and subjugation of his beloved humanity, they shall also rebuke Prima Brutus by slaughtering beasts and Sol Infernus by doing it during the day, showing defiance to all of the prime pantheon, the vile trinity.

Action 1 (Naval Technology): Develop Outrigger Canoe.
The Fennes of Ocea-de have made many an experimental raft, even making floating islands, but these all strain under one thing: Scarcity of wood. But while some try to make bigger and bigger rafts, some make smaller ones, using minimal amounts of resources. They make canoes, dugout from a single log, letting them paddle out and fish farther out. Some even take the material dug out and fashion it into an outrigger, providing much needed stability as they venture further out, where the waters are rough. Though they are no match for the open sea, it is more than sufficient for the Bay of Fenne, even enough to make a stable sail-craft.

Action 2 (Military subjugation): Launch the Fenne crusade to the southwest, with King Marcus leading it personally, subjugate the humans along the way and arrange them into a subservient horde.
The trial speaks of great beasts, but what beast is greater than man? Even the mighty elephant is hunted by man. The time for vengeance is nigh, Marcus shall take his army and ride for the lands of mankind, slaughtering beasts and men along the way. Of course, should they submit, we shall take the chiefs' daughters and make them part of King Marcus' harem, where he shall attempt to sire half-Fenne heirs, who are to inherit the tribes after the current chiefs' deaths, rather than the current heirs.

Actions 1 and 2: Admugann Architecture

The invention of concrete was just the start of the renovation of Aak cities, for these industrious people never cease to strive to make their lives better.
The Aak become masters of their urban environment, these city loving people doing their best to make their structures stand taller and mightier. Each new building is a planned work, engineered and constructed using cutting edge techniques and early calculations.

Even relatively unimportant buildings become testaments to the wealth and ingenuity of the Aak, who in their wisdom live and work now in multi-storey buildings, homes and workplaces, there are now more Aak living together in these cities than ever before as family estates grow into entire miniature districts.

The characterising feature of the Admugann architectual style beyond its improvements to structure and stability are faces on every building, and buildings built in the shape of faces. Aak place special weight on the value of faces, believing that perhaps an ancestor might view through them from the afterlife. By giving a face to buildings, the ancestors may watch over and protect their descendants. It serves also as a deterrant to crime in their presence, the Aak are superstitious people and many a criminal would think twice before comitting an offence before the very eyes of their ancestors.

Aak neighborhoods are decorated with plenty of plants and trees, constant reminders of their love of agriculture. To outsiders Iaakon may appear a jewel of stone and vine, a garden metropolis.


Passively expand up north to prepare to connect up to a new city.

Meanwhile the Aak grapple with this message from this gate, murmurs of what it could mean cast all around. The only true conclusion is that it is a message from the ancestors, perhaps even the very first Aak ever, wishing the Aak well and united, and promising rewards if we prosper.

With this knowledge in mind, the Aak senate makes a second great plan to woo the Kaanonites back into the fold.

Aak society is rather straightforward, intents declared not in secret but with immense pomp and circumstance. It is on some level expected for the scale of every wooing attempt to be larger than the previous, although that is usually for attracting a mate rather than an independent citystate…

Eggs. Dragon eggs. Live ones. They say the priest accompanying the miners passed out from the sight. As the word spread to the Wyrm's Rest settlers, the digging party was quickly reconverted into guards to prevent the over-eager faithful from raiding the place.

>Passive expansion: from Emerald Hill towards north-east
>Action 1 (Building/Religion/Culture): Build Temple at Ruin's entrance
However, this is only a temporary measure, and a permanent solution is needed. For King Drak, the answer is obvious: if the people want to show their faith, let them. A grand holy temple dedicated to Bahamut the Land Father shall be built across the only pathway to the ruined hold. The ruins themselves shall be declared holy ground, only accessible with authorization from the temple priests, all selected as people of trust. The priests of the other Primordial Dragons in Port Royal, especially Azura's, will grumble, but the practical reasons will be enough to convince them to play along for now.

>Action 2 (Research/Culture): Awaken the Dragon eggs
Now, unto the matter of the eggs. King Drak immediately ensembles a crew of various retainers, priests, and other nobles, all Dragonblooded of the purest traceable ancestry, including himself, to examine the eggs in person. Dragonblooded were said to be spiritually close to the mighty beasts and thus are bound to be vital in finding a way to break the stasis placed on them. What Drak is keeping to himself, however, is that he may already have an idea... (TO BE ROLEPLAYED IN IC CHAT)

1. Finish up tunnel warfare tactics (1/2)
Draw up designs, put the forge to work, make sure all that comes to the bear of soldiers are made to kill those that defy us.
2. Religious reformation.
Gragel II reads the message from the door again and rubs between his eyes then puts down the charcoal rubbing. He speaks to the shamans of the city to compare the shit ton of gods that they venerate; like that cave bear that killed off a family some years ago. After some heavy bribery and some discussion it was finally narrowed down that there were three true gods: That of Creation, That of Destruction, and That of the Eternal Struggle and Change. For the ease of worship these are known as Creation, Ruin, and Chaos. Of the gods Choas cares more of the day to day lives of mortals but both Creation and Ruin will intercede when they desire. All gods make the world work and are forces without form; but can be depicted with forms if desired. Creation and Ruin are the primordial gods and Change was born from their fighting long before the world was born; with the world being born by Change. Stagnation is the greatest sin and a little bit of chaos should be thrown into the mix every now and again so that growth can begin. With the changes made the shamans are sent out to make sure that the, usually uncaring, masses are shown the proper way.

Electoral representatives from Gunungtam and the surrounding regions now take their place in the Parliament of Huterangia and add their voices to the calls that this gate be left alone for now. If there is any uncertainty as to if we are ready, then we are not yet ready. A subcommittee is appointed to look into defining some criteria that might help define when the Huterang as a people might be ready to consider preliminary investigations into the nature of the object and if it might someday be considered safe to give further consideration. Kicked into the long grass by parliamentary process, it is decided to focus elsewhere on things with more apparent interest or use.

>Action 1: Boon Fruit (2nd part)
Research into the boon fruit is resumed by all concerned after the temporary focus elsewhere, let our learned ones unlock the hoped-for marvels and miracles this fruit promises our people.

>Action 2: A port for Utpalem
As a city close to both the coast and the banks of the Palemgai river, it is only fitting that a port is to be built upon the latter just before it flows into the sea itself. Not only will it allow Fishertangs and their pet Otters to cast their lines and nets wider across the sea, but an increase of shipping would make journeys along both river and coastline faster then mere walking or brachiating would allow them to be.

>Passive expansion
With a new port to see the Huterang on their way, expansion along the coastline continues.

In the Salivanid Empire, one of the most important roles in society is that of the humble Abdilan Ak Kul. The Keeper of Records. Each community has one, and under them are Dibi Kul, Assistant Keeper. There are many Dibi Kul under the Abdilan Ak Kul, and their job is simply to record everything of important note that happens. From harvests, trade deals to disputes. All of these minor events are written down and kept, so that the various communities in the Empire can have their whole personal histories preserved for their children many years down the line to learn from. In a sense, they also serve a somewhat bureocratic role, and are responsible partially for mesuring how much was gained in a harvest, or how much ore was extracted, but this is a more secondary part of their main job. Lately, with the settlement of a new city, and a number of large communities having some split off to found their own new communities elsewhere, the role has become more and more important and has solidified itself in the functions of government just as it had the culture of the people of the Empire. And it was clear to see that the nation was likely to be the most well documented in the world, as everything from petty disputes to grand meetings of peoples would be recorded.

Other than this, with the expansion of the Empire and the new settlement, along with the plains eaters, further farms were created along the river. Unlike the previous, these were mostly focused on ranching and taking care of the plains eaters alongside the preparation of the meat from them. It was undoubtable that there would be more in time but they were important none the less.

However, something else of curiosity happened to the Empire, as one of the community members of the raided settlements returned with a strange trophy, along with what seemed to be one of the raiders kind. Regardless, they were naturally accepted back home with open arms by what remained, if anything. Worst case scenario they were to be integrated into another community where they found a new home. Regardless, the trophy that was with them would be kept, and likely brought to the community of soldiers in the capital. It was their reward for their valiant defense after all. It told one thing to the Empire however. The Velix Selin Keliro were a warlike people and respected those which could best them. Perhaps, in a way, they could be reasoned with in some ways, although likely in combat and shows of strength, as seemed to be the trend of the neighbors of the Empire.

>Action 1 - Build City - Xylos
>Action 2 - Establish 1st Magic[Waves] (Temple in Parala)

Sofronio has been, well, not PHYSICALLY beating people, but certainly very demanding in making sure that Gremus doesn't get crowded again. In flocks of 10 and 20 do the Galarians soar south, following the coast where the fish are plentiful, or swooping into the trees to give nuts and the occasional squirrel a try. These lackadaisical exiles eventually congregate, as Galarians are wont to do, and inadvertently found a new city! Lacking the open coasts the other two cities have, these Galarians make their homes amid the trees, roosting among their roots or in their branches.

Wierdos.

Back in civilized lands, Levanna, unfortunatly, is at it again. The Temple sees constant re-imagining, many Galarians whispering that her manic episodes would be so much less frequent if she just settled down with a nice guy and laid some eggs. Regardless, she squawks the loudest, and her fish bones are the shiniest, so the work must be done! Eventually, she seems satisfied (for now) and dubs this a Temple to the Waves. Hopefully this will stop her crazy behavior for a while.

Oh, wait, no, there she goes. Now she's whispering something about the power of water in the hearts of our people or something? I guess we've all noticed a general rise in quality of life, Galarians being healthier and having more fluffy feathers than their forefathers, but that's probably because we worked so hard to clean the city! There's now way 'magic' or whatever she's whispering is responsible for it.

R...right?

Fluff: Who would have though that by just croaking louder one could gain a more potent effect. But if that is the case. What happens if it’s orchestrated? To have high and lows of croaking to weave something truly fantastical... and with coal found, the grand merchants that lead the land send their numbers to make claims to it. Coal to burn making food both easier to cook and homes warm.

1 action: Coal mine
Working in the coal mines. Dangerous yes, but with ideas of potentially using those psionic disturbances to both the advantage and disadvantage of miners is something that is thought of.

1 action: Magic: Psionic control
Perhaps there is a way to make it so that the mind is affected in such a way that it sees certain things instead of just whatever insanity is normally caused. The shadows in the corners potentially becoming other members of society instead of some terrifying beast that one mistakingly runs from. At the same time.. it can also be used to craft entirely false scenarios... potentially perfect for sneaking around. Who’s to say a person will notice a door opening and closing with this expansion to magic. Or.. potentially fail notice as their comrades disappear one by one until none are left.

(Posting on behalf of Acreon)
The Gibilins, after the appearance of the portal thought they were under attack from one of their venerable forest spirits as such after those that prepared to defend themselves while those that ran away in fear eventually after the tribe determined that the portal was not a spirit but a structure of sorts came together under the Shamans guidance who studied the text and deliberated with his apprentices where it was decided that a constant watch would be kept on the structure to provide the tribe enough time to flee in the forest if it was nefarious.

Action 1: (Exploration) Departing into the forest the Shaman will look for psychedelic mushrooms.
The shaman donning his anima skins once more with some of his apprentices depart into the forest to search for new flora that may aid the shaman for the next meeting with their revered spirits.

Action 2: (Military research) The bonlinds start training themselves through various training regimen and exercises to practice their stealth for future hunts.
Taking the initiative to better themselves the hunters of the Gibilins, otherwise known as the Bonlinds start training themselves and their recruits in the art of stealth by moving as quietly as they in the forest during mock hunts and stealing tokens given to them by their elders with those that have the most tokens being placed at the front of the formation.

Action 3: (Exploration) Some of the eldest gathering Gibswomen depart into the forest with the shaman to search for poisonous plants.
With the shamans departure several gathering Gibswomen depart with the group as well to help with the identification of various plants and collect those needed with of the Gibswomen looking for poisonous plants that may user by the Bonlinds or themselves if they needed to.

Action 4: (Exploration) Departing once more the Bonlinds go out into the forest to observe the animal populations west of their current location.

Action 1: Form a roaming "caste" of independant Warrior-Alchemists, The Waymakers(Culture/Military action)

As time passess the strange madness of the Azimar and their peculiarties causes a steadily growing number of arguments, disagreements, and fights. These range from individual Azimar getting on the wrong side of their informal commune leaders, to growing tensions between the Grand Communes of Azimar and Ivanar. These clashes soon grow bloody, and from them a growing culture of warrior grows in Azimar society, the Waymakers. These Azimar, often the losers of their bouts or those embarassed, are wanderers who travel the land. They experiment in the ways of alchemy without constraint, and are soon used by "wealthy" Commune Azimar as a form of hired mercenary, paid in drugs, food, and whatever else a service is worth at the time.

2. Build Alchemical Labs(Buildings, Science, Culture, Industry)

In both Grand Communes begin to grow a number of Alchemical Laboratories, centers of experimentation, production, and creation that are led by the smartest or at least strongest Azimar amongst a group. In the Grand Commune of Azimar, these Labs experiment with utilizing alchemy to alter the body and mind with growing permanence, Enhancement Alchemies running rife. Some are left disfigured from these practices, others mutated, and others stronger and better. The results are rarely stable, but the Azimarians indulge their madness at a grander scale. This though drives a great rift between them and the Ivanar Commune, whom which a growing scholarly attribute takes hold. Their labs are centers of order, of science, of production of alchemies of all kind. Invaritably, meeting of the two Communes is quick to cause disputes, clashes, and more. But the cities yet still grow as the Azimars sciences grow with their ambitions.

>Excerpt 4: The City of Daghatar, resting place of Rulo Sagra
Despite his non-monogamous nature, the hero Rulo Sagra was a loving man; Deeply compassionate towards humanity, his family, and the people of the steppe. As he aged and his lifestyle of celebrating by day and battling by night came to a halt, he slowly reeled in his ways and came to settle in the lowest corner of the steppe, just outside of the tree line. Built atop his wealth and fame, the first city of the Steppe was founding around his dwelling, a city named Daghatar after his childhood mentor. Sagra's descendants would flock to this new civilization, each one of them lulled by an unusual desire for the orderliness and structure that his domain had to offer.

>Action 1: Military - Develop Training: Resolute (2/2)
The young men spend their youth being told of the wonders they'll achieve as a soldier; An aspiration for every young boy, just as the youth of lesser nations may aspire for wealth or fame. Of course, not every young boy can fulfill this childhood fantasy. The training of the clan is ruthless and systematic, breaking down the spirit of the soldiers so that they can be build anew from the remnants of their old selves. Though still a virtuous people, preaching love, community, and honor, any weaknesses of the mind such as fear, hesitation, and pride are crushed early on in boot camp.

>Action 2: Magic - Develop Lighting Magic (1/2)
A strange form of magic begins to be explored within the School of War in Daghatar. Led by a professor by the name of Angelo Sangra, the practice of channeling lightning through their bodies and utilizing it to empower their weapons and hasten their steps becomes the center of academic research and experimentation.
>Global Event: Refusal
The courageous soldiers and leaders of the clan are initially excited by the prospect of the portal, but are turned away by the statement that it would be a trial for the entire nation. Though confident to face the trials on their own, the family-loving clansmen lack the heart to expose their young, old, or otherwise unwell members to such chaos.

>>5252415
>Action 3: Magic - Develop Lighting Magic (2/2)
After thorough study and a number of case studies that would be unacceptably dangerous to a more danger-prone race, a breakthrough would occur in Daghatar's Academy of War. In the skies above, it would appear as if the dorms were under constant attack by the gods itself, with crackling red lightning propelling arrows into the sky. Scorch marks littered the halls as overzealous students zipped and bolted on electric steps.

>Action 4: Farm - On the Frontier
As intended by a previous agenda, the population of Daghatar was beginning to swell and with it, the nation's prosperity. Still, space was running low in the capitol city; Hoping to prevent overpopulation, the first settlers are sent out from the city to setup the beginnings of what they hoped would grow into a settlement in the near future.

Exciting it is to see another day. What wonderful mischief will its children conduct this dawn?

<<<GLOBAL EVENT>>>

From the wound of reality springs forth one more intrepid and mysterious soul.
Across the world each nation is visited by a mysterious figure, traveling land to land. He simply introduces himself as the collector and claims he is no fanciful being or deity, just a humble dealer of fine goods and services.

In exchange for wealth and other possessions of value he is willing to offer parts of his collection to those with the means. He goes as suddenly as he arrives, and though nothing else is knowable of the being, one thing seems certain: He'll always show up for anyone looking to deal.

No other nation can claim they hold the same level of architectural mastery as the Aak do with each building practically a work of art. With food a feast for the stomach, and astonishing design a feast for the eyes, the Aak culture is richer than ever.

>>5250830
A temple springs up at the door of the old ruin to venerate the dragons and honor the parted one that led to this amazing re-discovery. Even more blessed is this monument as none other than King Drak himself exit with 12 hatchlings of the holy beasts themselves right behind him, following as if they’ve known each other in past lives. The day is considered a holy day to commemorate the return of the dragons!

>Leakoan Republic
Following the hints of the journal, the Leakoan republic beach themselves on new shores to find another remnant of the past. Scouting across the southern tip of the island, they approach a lonely mountain hiding something rather interesting. Carved into its southern face is another massive stone vault. Opening this will require considerable effort. Though sadly the homeland doesn’t reveal anything worthwhile. Hints of the former empire dot the landscape here and there, though only crumbling architecture and rotten monuments.

Kulva’trexs, otherwise referred to as the cart beasts of the Khanate, are a vicious and stout breed of animal. It’s no wonder that brutalists such as the Sensei would take a liking to them.

Yet a little too comfortable grow the people themselves. Mountains of food pile faster than they can be eaten, and the spirit of gluttony finds a perch within the souls of Daghatar. Unless new cities are found, and soon, their chairs aren't the only thing the people will be crushing under the weight of their newfound girth.

>Action 1: Utdurama
Exploration and the expansion of Huterang settlement to the south and along the coast has revealed to the Huterang another fine river running from the mountains to the coast, through jungle and cooler coastal forest. And with a smaller river also reaching the shore, it is a simple matter for the Huterang to decide that this site is eminently suitable for a new outpost to ensure their control of this waterway from spring to mouth. The town of Utdurama thereby is founded.

>Action 2: A farm for Utdurama
And of course, every Huterang needs to eat, and every climate has that slight bit of variance in the local plant-life to allow new additions to the Huterang diet. Just upriver from Utdurama, the temperate-forest climate allows for new plantations of apples and pears.

>Passive Expansion
And as Utdurama has been founded, Huterang coming in on ships from Utpalem will also settle in the area on the river and coastal lands around Utdurama.

1. Begin construction of the holy forge. 1/5
Gragel II reads over the plaque even more carefully and comes to realize that they aren't asking for an upgrade to the forges; but an even bigger temple forge. He grumbles as he can already feel the weight of his coffers go down. Luckily scouts have been reporting lava tubes being spotted outside of Scrump warren to the great joy of those around. Volcanic activity has always been considered holy due to it's great awe and a volcano temple would be a great one indeed. With gusto Gragel II orders the tubes followed to the main volcanic complex, come to find it's dormant and one of the tallest mountains in the nearby range, and begin to dig out the necessary infrastructure to construct a great forge heated by the volcanic lava.
2. Research Cement
With the great project needing greater construction techniques and quicklime has been a long known thing. With some funding the use of lime to make a quick hardening plaster and cement come to light; and with it the creation of support structures for bigger constructions can be made.

When King Drak rode on his horse into Port Royal followed by the wyrmlings, the inhabitants first couldn't believe their eyes. There they were, the beasts of myth, following him like they would a brother. To them, he seemed like a saint amount mortals. Once alone in his quarters, he takes a deep sigh. He'd rather not have the people, Primordials forbid, start worshipping him as a god. He had enough troubles with the clergy as it was.

>Passive expansion: Keep the path northeast from Emerald Hill to Wyrm's Rest.
>Action 1 (Research): Research Dragon Taming.
Now, to the task of how to tame the wyrms. Most dragons start as mostly mindless, sentient but not sapient beings. While they will gradually learn proper intelligence and speech as they age, for now they were no more intelligent than any human newborn; and much more bestial and temperamental. The Dragonborn needed to learn how to fully use their innate spiritual connection to dragons to teach the wyrms how to obey orders even through situations of panic, not act out when made to bear heavy loads, and follow basic commands, including (and the thing that interested King Drak the most) making use of the Host of the Land's shared ability to shape earth and stone with their wills. That last part would be crucial for any large-scale architectural endeavors.

>Action 2 (Building/Food): Establish Hunting Grounds west of Wyrm's Rest.
In the backdrop of all of this, a problem starts brewing back in Wyrm's Rest. The reserves picked along the original pioneer rush were beginning to dry up, and foraging and small-time hunting would only bring them so far. While this was originally a pilgrimage of the faithful, even the most zealous needed food. However, the rocky valley was unsuited for large-scale crop farming like in Port Royal and especially Emerald Hill. A request to Port Royal for orders was at first considered but shut down by the city council. They didn't need to query the King for every little thing! Plus, the answer was already there: beyond the west end of the valley was a great woodland. Nothing like the pine forests east of Emerald Hill, but a proper tangle of oak and other deciduous trees, with prey a plenty. Surely, as more faithful followers of the dragons as any other, the people of Wyrm's Rest should avoid the modern trappings of agriculture, and gear towards a more natural approach to living off the land: good-fashioned hunting, as Yggdrasil, Primordial Dragon of the Wild, intended it.

Marcus' army cuts swathes through the barbarian ranks, humanity has gotten complacent in their hegemony, they have become fat and weak. Thousands of slaves are taken and sent back, but some of the tribes surrender, they are not enslaved, instead their daughters are taken into Marcus' harem, a political marriage, except humans are not considered the equal to Fennes, so he can have as many human concubines as he wants, and little do they know the true intention behind this marriage, the siring of half-Fenne heirs who will inherit the tribes instead of the human heirs. However, as he subjugates the human barbarians he notices they are becoming more and more densely populated the further west he gets. An interrogation brings to his ears that there is a kingdom over to the west, and worse yet, they are worshipers of the dragons. They are Rex Hominum's subjects, Marcus' sworn enemies.

Action 1 (Building/Expansion): Establish the city of Rive-de at the river southwest of Dun-Caver.
As the lands to the southwest are conquered, Fenne settlers follow, taking advantage of the opening provided, they flock to the river, around which the lands are especially fertile. These lands will give birth to many a well-fed Fenne, contesting the O' Sea family's influence. Members of the royal family are given lands in the area, and a vast number of human slaves to do their bidding, building Fenne palaces and working Fenne farms. They can also seize additonal slaves from the unaffiliated tribes in the area, as humans may be faster than Fennes, but they are no match for Ostren.

Action 2 (Raid): The army moves northwest-west, onward to the Kingdom of Illyria, to Port Royal. Raid them.
The dragon worshipers are near, as Marcus' army continues, the resistance is more organised, symbols start becoming more draconic, and eventually, horsemen are encountered. The horsemen of Illyria are no match for the Ostre-riders of Dundee, for not only are their weapons and armour inferior to our own, but they are merely novices at the saddle, while the Fennes are experienced mounted lancers. Still, the armies are a problem, they have infantry that matches our own, making up for their lack of weapons and armour technology with size and numbers. Fortunate for us that they quickly break when hit in the rear by the warhooks of the Ostre-riders. Marcus' military tactics is ultimately what wins the battles, he is a Warrior King for good reason, and as he grows older, where his prowess in single combat wanes, his tactical genius becomes more prominent.

Fomorian Reformation (64 AAC)

Seven long years have passed of weak central leadership, excess, and not a terribly small amount of indulgence and architectural renovation.

At last tensions boil over and the Ireejak at Iaakon descends into a brawl, a limp, rather ineffectual brawl. The combatants tire themselves out before doing any real harm to eachother, and after a good long while look around and resolve never to mention this incident to anyone.

Perhaps they had gotten lazy, complacent.

The great ancestor Fomorius was consulted the very next day after a bit of a lie in, that legendary figure, Fomorius whose family had endured one hundred years of siege by tides on tides of malevolent creatures, demonic yaak, traitorous Aak, savage Imenity and three hundred foot tall Orgartanum, and who slew them all, each and every. Perhaps the Kaanonites were right, it could pay to be better prepared for war. Especially if the Huterang start growing back to their old size…

Action 1 and 2: Fomorian Martial Physique (Mixed magical/martial developments)

The Aak species has little record of magical prowess. They are not unable, or mundane creatures, but it is a quirk of their psychology that makes something so indirect as ritualistic or chant based magic alien to them.

If an Aak wishes something dead, he will generally use the tools at hand, which often end up being his many hands or whatever he happens to be holding in them.

Magic always ends up being demonstrated in some form or another however, and there is no shortage of tales of miraculous or superaakish feats in Aak legend, what few realised was that these incidents were the Aak performing physically based martial magic, unknowingly at least.

Striking with impossible force, cutting things that were not hit, dodging javelin hails, all of these examples of the magic the Aak are most naturally inclined to.
The Fomorian Reformation brings this realisation into light, the first and most fundamental of its teachings is to build up the body, such that one may leap buildings and shatter trees.

In truth there is rather little talent or skill on display despite this being referred to as a martial art, discipline is set aside once the realisation hits the general populace that they can simply learn how to deflect spears with their chest.

The most notable event of the Fomorian Reformation besides this was a group of “Martial Artists” later known as the Reformers breaking into the senate tower and beating everyone up, then promptly leaving.

This prompted the actual event named the Fomorian Reformation, where the Aak government was thrown into yet another bout of chaos and uncertainty.

This Turn
Action 1
>Find anything and everything that could entice this stranger to give something, see if he has anything magical that could speed up the expansion of the realm
The prospect of magical artefacts, treasures and relics calls to everyone! Especially the humans. All the sudlunder races seem to enter upheaval as they begin to raid and scavenge and loot for anything and everything that might entice this stranger. The giants carve into the mountain deep, searching for gold and jewels, and the goblins scour ancient dungeons and tombs for relics, while humans simply forge intricate works and craftsmanship.

Even the Ice Witches seem to be roused, peering into their frozen crystal balls what this stranger could be and what might they offer for more magical power.

>Passive
Humans being the organizers of the race generally prefer to stay close to the giants, and begin expanding eastward to make better trade ties with them

One of the things the people of the Salivanid Empire valued in regards to beauty and arts was that of Foiliendin, the art of growing and tending to decorative plants in a manner that makes them look truly beautiful. Naturally, with the new trade and lands along with holding more farms, more plants are able to be used for this purpose. And as one might expect from the Salivanid people, the creation of gardens tended to by all as a nice place to relax early in the morning before work or late at night after it would come about. Naturally, most of them would be tended to in the spare time of those who wished to work upon them, though most often it would be the work of the youngest and oldest in a community, especially in communities who mainly worked exhaustive and hard jobs such as mining. Usually, these gardens were in central plaza's of the villages or districts that the community lived in, and were a pleasant sight for all to gaze upon.

The second main thing that came about was another art that the Empire valued. Architecture. The art of making bigger, better and greater constructions. Really, it was extremely useful for the empire. Not only were it's artistic applications great, but the practical applications of expanding upon their knowledge on what worked for structural integrity were quite valuable for the creation of larger structures and defensive ones. Though there was other things that the Emperor of the People had in mind with this, especially given the fondness of the former...But of course, these things would take time. But time was something the empire seemed to have now that the threat of raids seemed to be reduced...

>Action One. Communal Gardens.

>Action 2 - Build a farm (not a fishery this time) down by Xylos

Levanna is, most birds agree, clinically insane. This doesn't stop her ruling the roost, as it were, for she is still very much in possession of the biggest seashell, and that's not really something you can argue with when it comes to a political forum. Indeed, her usual attire of fishbones, pearls, and other sea-goodies has given way almost wholly to shell-related paraphernalia. This fashion swap started ever since she found that really big shell, washed up on the beach by her house no less, so the two events may be related. She damn near cradles the thing, whispering into it before putting it up to her ears for a good long listen.

Xylos, meanwhile, has started to form it's own culture. Rather, stereotypes are building up, as they usually do.
Everyone knows a bird from Gremus is 'going to actually get some work done for once' and take pride in their no-nonsense attitude. They see themselves as the stock template of Galarian life, after all.
The Paralan are a bunch of meat heads, and all of them are health-nuts to a T. Being a fairly spiritual people, not usually seen among other birds, also makes them quite odd.
Lastly, it seems everyone agrees that the Xylians are an even wierder bunch, and more strangely, really super proud about it.
This latest endeavor is a perfect example, that thing where they stick seeds in the ground and wait for the plants to grow in orderly rows? It's just a perfect example of their contrarian ways. The feathery bastards even had the audacity to give the practice a super fancy name, something like... A Great Culture? How snobby can you get...

The chief cracks his knuckles and stretches, smiling lazily at his “court”
“Me am tired. Me am go sleep. No one do thing while am sleep or crack skull and shit in it”, a clear show of authority that was welcomed with approving grunts and oaths to take skulls and shit in them to honor the great chief’s unparalleled charisma.
A few hours later into a deep slumber, which lasted for a week.
-one week later-
The chief awakens from his slumber, chiefly angry that no one did anything while he slept, furiously ordering for “more” to be built.
The court, keen to not have their skulls made into shitcarriers, urgently sends out orders for more farms and a new settlement to be raised

Fluff: Like a melody it is... but.. what if it was an actual melody. A song to be performed, to be witnessed. A grand show for those that live here to know that they need not fear every odd illusion that comes their way.

1 action: Culture: Psionic Performance
A song, a tale! A grand performance! Weaved by those who have practiced their croaking to tell a great story. An event much like an Opera, the only difference being everyone gets a unique show as their mind interprets the events, a story that can be retold and retold and seem different every time with the right mind set.

1 action: Structure: Performance hall
A grand building where sound can really echo, so that hearing is clear and that each person can enjoy the performance to its fullest

Our nation has been crippled out people humiliated... but in a way that feels oddly... exhilarating. A remainder that while Godslayers we still are mortals. A God once beseeched by rot and aragonce rots away, but we, we have been granted a new chance a way out of our decadence and slumber. A chance to once more work hard towards greatness and not to just rest on past glory.

On our maps hencefourth the the Godeye Collegium (city) shall be known as the Paleeye Grave

Our rebirth shall begin:

> Action 1: Expanded Vision (magic? military?)
What use has one for the Eyes of a god when one can't even see trough silly illusions? We focused so hard on looking into the future we see little in the present.

The Godeye Collegium now in nomadic exile shall cultivate towards 'expanded vision'. To see what a normal mortal does not. Ultraviolet colors, radio-waves, infrared, maybe traces of a soul or mana circulating in the body if we get lucky. Why? Because an ilussion can only depict what the caster knows exists a caster unaware of ultraviolet patterns on a flower will not include it on his cast ilussion of it. It won't help us tell apart a tanuki transformed into an animal/person as that's true polymorphy, but most plain illusions should be apparent to us as such rather quickly.

> Action 2: White Skull Mask (military)
The signature spell of the Godbone Collegium.

White Skull Mask - crystalisation of the unbrekable will and desire to protect of the Godbone Students. The Mask creates a strong draw to the front of the Godbone student. Making any opponent they face forced to take them head on having to break trough the immovable fortress which they are rather than walk around it. Each godbone may only 'pull agro' on one person and the target needs to be looking at the Godbone.

(Pretty much. As an added, anyone looking at their faces will get pulled in as well. So if you're standing far away and cant make out shit, you're fine. If you see it through a looking glass, doesn't matter if it's a continent away, you want to go fight it for some reason)

With the blood still warm, a new prince is elected. Hail, His Serene Highness, Prince Dehromont I of the house of du Bontescan! As a display that no rivalry shall exist as a noble Prince reigns, a competition to design the most stunning mausoleum for the three royal houses is launched. Alongside this most vain of projects, the ministers of His new Highness convince him of the need of the founding of new seats of authority in the south-west. Acting on his own prerogative, as is his royal right, the Prince makes his declaration before the Court Assembly. By the grace of the Father almighty of the Sky, his joyous consort the Mother of the Earth, and their issue the Dawn which refreshes the world each morn, His Serene Highness the Prince does hereby decree the immediate construction of the Noble Tomb of Our Most Beloved Princes and Their Families, as so designed by (there is a large space initially left blank upon the parchment, where the winner's name is to be written in) on the northern shore of the Cuipot d'Osson i Sangoire, and the increase of our authority by the founding of the seat of Orvide upon the river Oré ( commonly "du Rendei") on the shores of le Varé d'Apil.

Just actions, lore will follow shortly.

Action 1: Continued Aak developments lead to the founding of another city, Diiodon, at the place where the two rivers to the north meet.

It serves as a good opportunity for us to sort our our border properly with the Godflesh, along the curving river to the mountains, and from there splitting the mountains evenly between the Aak and the Godflesh.

Action 2: Trade route with the Orgartanum (Huterang)

Aak convoys riding mighty spiders cart endless foodstuffs, trinkets and materials to the markets of the Orgartanum, and in return with carts loaded with equally valued goods.

Trade between the two nations is established, a reassurance of peace and co-operation in the future now that the Aakish realms are fully unified.

>Action 1 (Expansion): Establish the city of Bonefort at the indicated spot on the map
After the raid, the plain barbarians realize that they are too broken to continue staying independent. Several tribes declare themselves vassals to the kingdoms of Illyria, hoping for protection and strength. They establish a shared city that could be a more actively defendable position if another attack occurs.
>Action 2 (Trade): Establish Trade Route with Aquileia
Money will be required to repair the damages, and this will work nicely to close the gap between our two people, too.
>Unique Action: only known to QM

The Kaanonite Trials (64 AAC)

The last of the delegations to the senate bore fruit in the declaration of a series of contests, from the Kaanonites delivered to the Iaakan to prove our worth, impressed by our improvement and valour they demanded a challenge once for each time we have come to them.

The first of the great contests was a martial affair, a display of skill rather than raw strength and vigour. The traditional weapon of the Aak, the mighty spear, was to be tossed to strike a series of targets.

The Kaanonites and Iaakonians perform each admirably, until a seeming accident leads to one spear coming apart in mid air.

Though no fault of his own, it seems the Iaakon warrior is doomed until he takes many steps back to observe, breathe deep, and release his final spear.

It is said it rocketed with such force that it pierced the target, and carried on going to skewer the last of his targets, and finally embed in his opponents bullseye.

The Iaakon claim the first round, but that was only the beginning.

The second round began without delay, without any sense of pause, the Kaanonites seemed to live lives in the moment, every moment.

A game of sorts, one of courage, contestants brought into battle against a fearsome and mighty mountain spider, blunt weapons and shields given as the only means to cow the beasts.
This of the matches was clearly in the Kaanonites favour, but of course it would be, and would need to be overcome to prove the worth of the Entreaty.

Blows are traded, each warrior defending themselves valiantly against the trained predator, but after a few minutes the Iaakonian is overwhelmed, wrestling with the beast from the floor keeping its maw from his neck.

Calls are made to submit, to admit defeat and allow themselves to be pulled out, but none are heeded, the spider eventually wrenched off of him by the Kaanonite organisers and forced back.

The second game was concluded with a Kaanonite victory over his spider, but few could doubt the bravery with which the other Aak had fought.

The last of the great contests and the one to break the tie was that of a simple race, surely expected to be a simple affair at first, but this race was across no ordinary terrain, occurring across the mountainous peaks near the city of Kaanon where the frightening and dangerous spiders made their nests.

The racers bounded across, the Kaanonites using their knowledge of terrain to make their way through the land, the Iaakonian barrelling their way across the landscape leaping great bounds and down clear paths, each taking their own route and needing to contend with the cold and the wildlife.

For hours they made their own ways across, until at last their paths crossed again linking them up as they sped downhill.

The racers were ambushed by the mountain spiders, the wild beasts crawling up from unseen caverns to feed.

>>5256531
A battle ensues, stuck back to back fending off the creatures until a gap in their pack breaks, a last burst forward both take only for the slightly slower Kaanonite to be caught by a beast in hiding.

The Iaakonian stops at the lack of the sound of one running beside him, turning back to aid his contestant in defeating the foe.

That day they crossed the line as equals on equal terms, but the Kaanonite ceded the victory to Iaakon.

The arrangement was made, Iaakon was victorious, but that day also a senator removed the lid from the box they had brought and unveiled a crown, placing it atop the head of the Kaanonite contestant.

A representative from Kaanon to the senate, with power over policy and might.

The two nations were joined that day, and the first of the Kaanonite kings crowned, married to an Iaakonian bride (as per the first attempts suggestion, an ironic twist) to symbolise future unity.

The First Lock Sprouts (68 AAC)

A year after and peace has returned to the nation, riots no more occupying beautiful streets, new constructions in Kaanon and trade beginning to flourish with the Orgartanum, with even a new colony sent out to the north to establish a brilliant new metropolis.

It is at that point with floral might the first of the vine-like locks sprouts open, blasting them land with a pulse of magical power. Truly an Aak golden age has begun, and the ancestors pleased.

Appearance of the unknown island (81 AAC)

From the deep and off the coast of the mainland a tremendous island rises, waves crashing against its rocky shores. An expedition is ordered, mountain spiders weave steel-strong webs upon which concrete is overlaid, causing a great and mighty bridge to be erected. What secrets this island might hold is anyone’s guess.
