What shall the theme of our major central nation be? I'm liking the ideas being thrown around here. We'll eventually need to choose 4 or 5 ideas (or groupings of ideas) to form the 4 or 5 surrounding nations. At first glance, especially considering the dystopian nature of some of these nations (unheard of in humans in prior DKs, but I'm liking it), our political set-up at the moment would be one relatively powerful nation in the middle, surrounded by these tribes which do pose a threat to it. There is battling, there is pushing and shoving of the borders, there is the demanding of tribute from the weaker tribes. While this central nation's defence is clearly pretty solid (otherwise it would have crumbled by now), either by some magical means or simply superiority of their civilisation, there is opportunity for a Keeper to conquer if they can organise the inhabitants of one of these tribes to organise and arm themselves (either by slavery/force or by persuasion/alliances) and drive a wedge into the central nation. Unless, for some reason, you all feel like ditching the one central nation idea, although I think that is preferable to only a collection of fragmented tribes.

Regarding the Titans/Totems, perhaps the plot would have something to do with tapping the full power of those Totems and unleashing the Titans. Maybe the tribes doing so (perhaps with the help of a Keeper) to tear apart the bigger nation, or the Keepers, or other tribes. Maybe the bigger nation doing so to wipe out the Keepers and the tribes.

I'm happy to GM this, by the way. Just so long as you understand that I can not dedicate large amounts of my time for another month (because of those exams which decide your fate for the next few years). After that, I'm completely free.
