I'm still floating around - I've been back and forth on what kind of nation to create and where. The island is very tempting - and the first thing that jumps to mind is some extreme heavily warrior-merc type people, maybe raider type dudes. But then that seems a little obvious :p 

I though maybe a heavily intrigue/assassin based nation, but I'm not so sure I'd be that good with that. I also considered maybe for the island a very scholarly, magically and religious group that had like some mountain monastery type place. Hordes old texts and maybe artefacts and things, whilst it's members are encouraged to travel to the other nations as much as possible and be all diplomatic and stuff. But I was worried that kind of thing may bot quite work, and the magic seems kinda OP. 

Anyway… any thoughts? :p
