Interested! I'll start work on a NS right away. I'm claiming the Urals, if that's ok!
Somebody was talking about Russia but no claim was made on that area yet. At worst you have to make a slight compromise with Vahir but I think that won't harm your NS here.
Think I have everything on my sheet in order more or less. Take a look and tell me what you think now that it's in its mostly complete form.
Obviously gonna have to add in how our interactions with the elven menace to the south has influenced them and vice versa.
Looks good to me. Also even though you are low tech, your size and strength does allow you to carry some frighteningly powerful bows. I think you can consider these as something with the power of late-medieval crossbows but with the efficiency of a bow. Ironically enough your "low tech" is going to be a menace to the 16th century firearm-reliant armies. Better range, firing rate and even armor penetration. It doesn't really make you OP for various reasons but it will have a certain surprise factor.
Anyways, I'm still looking for a co-GM candidate. Who has experience with hosting NRPs?
Glad to hear it. I've got a pretty decent experience with hosting NRPs. Though most of it Old Guild or elsewhere. I'm a bit rusty but I think I can help smooth things along for ya.@Willy Vereb
Here's a very incomplete sheet, will update when able. Let me know when anything needs changing along the way.
Empire of Alth'Nar
Location: Parts of Southern Mexico, Belize, Guatemala.
General Introduction: (because history may change depending on the final concensus on the setting I'm just satisfied with a short intro. What is your nation? What they do? How they live? etc...)
History: (You can ignore this part for now because the game's setting is ambigious at the beginning. Once it took shape you can work on your background more. Albeit if your General Intro already covers the history we need you can just skip this)
Government & Society:
Unlike their northern neighbors, the Le'shi, rule of the Empire is more centralized, with the Emperor reigning supreme. However, his reach can only go so far, as such the Emperor has placed Noble Houses most loyal to him to govern the provinces.
Culture and Society of the Alth'Nar is one of decadence and harsh segregation, the people divided into two classes, Highborn and lowborn. Highborn are classified as the majority of Elves, who often enjoy a life of luxury. Lowborn however, live quite differing lives. Lowborn consist of none-elven races and elves who've turn their back on the Empire, a great majority of them living as slaves or in poverty
Races:
During the early conquests of the Empire, Human Tribes and Cities were the first to be tamed by the Elves. Now Humans, like the others, live among the lowborn, in the slums of Elven Cities.
Le'shi within the Empire, like the other races, are not here by choice. The Le'shi Kingdoms and the Empire often fought, ranging from small raids, to border skirmishes, and escalating to all-out war. Often times however, Elven Slavers venture out themselves to acquire Le'shi slaves and most times, with success. Like the other races, Le'shi slaves are spread far out throughout the Empire and beyond, and those that escape but with no way to return home, are forced to live in the slums with the other lowborn.
Economy & Industry: (What are your primary exports and imports? How much you trade? How are your craftsmen organized? How developed is your technology? What kind of unique creations you have? etc...)
Military Overview: (Yeah, of course you also need to tell us some about your military. Try to avoid number games and unhealthy arms races. We play this game for fun and that needs balance and sensible approach. One of the main guidelines is that your nation's military shouldn't be much better than a historical 15-16th century army. Don't worry, I don't ask you historical accuracy. So-called "super units" can be okay if they are rather rare and may have other limitations. The point is to let you do cool things and explore your creativity but at the same time don't do it at the expense of others.)
I was busy for most of the week and I still will be in the following days. I suggest people to continue the discussions and work on their profiles. Like I said this can be effectively used for the same purposes as the OOC so I suppose you don't suffer from this delay.
