@Flagg I just saw your nation name will be the 'Drathan Union'. Is there any chance this union will be fond of slavery? In my sheet, I mention a 'Telavin Empire' as the empire that Amidasura freed the slaves from, but I think it would be much cooler if she went against her own people (she's a Drathan) to do so. That said, I also don't want her to be nice. She's supposed to be a scary sorceress, not a saint, so maybe she had some ulterior motive like using the slave legions to steal some powerful Archeo-tech from the Drathan Union and escape with it.

Yes, yes and yes. That's perfect, and we can work out details as my sheet gets filled out. In the meantime, you can substitute the Union for the Telavin Empire and it will make sense.

@Rhymer AHHH! You literally beat me to the horrible giant bug punch. Good work, sir. I love the buggy nastiness. My faction will have some of that too, and we should def. collaborate on history.


Shit man sorry, I actually can't believe there hasn't been more non-human races crafted, it's such an awesome setting. Can't wait to read what you came up with tho, would love to collaborate.

Don't be sorry- love the bugs and am going to work your great ideas into my own faction.

Accepted. Awesome. One question: you mention battle mages in your military history. Instead of that, since the Engineers from Prometheus Shaniatu dont wield magic, it might be cool for magic to be outlawed in Azar? Mages hunted down and killed or drained for their power by the Shaniatu's dreaded machines? Something along those lines. Just a thought- but would really play up the contrast with the Drathan Union, which along with @Chairman Stein's super-city, are your largest competitors population wise.

I have quite a few races I regularly use but as I'm not playing a nation per say, I didn't think it to make races.

@Flagg

The NS is about 1200 words now, so I mean, that's the bulk of what it is. Several thousand words more could (will with shared history) be added, but I think there's enough there to base an acceptance off. Most of the other sections i.e. military etc will just be me saying 'lol no' but in a fancy, 'this is my ns' kind of way.

Also, with regards you choosing a flaw and perk for me, what's the deal with that?


Reviewed. Approved!

Looks good- accepted! I will have Traits/flaws for you and @gorgenmast shortly.

Also, your sheet has a typo under the military section. That, or you have a very big military :)

<Snipped quote>


The organization is called the Million Spears, in total I should only have around 5k soldiers as of current.

Haha, misreading on my part. You're good to go!

@all:

Now that we have a critical mass of approved NSes, I've put up a pirate pad for us to collaborate a bit on. Please keep this Empires of Sand focused, and recall that this is to serve the IC. I only say that because chats, while useful, occasionally tend to take away from IC posting.

I have a couple different concepts in mind so far, but I've yet to come to a final decision.

Here is a map of the world. Several, actually.

Here is a map with geographic and biome detail. Names of established locations have been placed.


This is the same map as the previous one, just without the names.


Finally, this is a blank map designed to give everyone the ability to easily mark your locations/borders.


Comments, critiques, and complaints are welcome.

The map is based on geographic features mentioned in sheets, so yeah. Just put it in your sheet. I imagine Googer will still be okay with adding new stuff as long as there is space.

If nobody minds, I'll be claiming the ash lands and the volcano up north to be my domain.
(I can't mark it since I don't really have anything to do it with >_>)

I've got that area already claimed, but we can definitely coexist there. Just be aware I have plenty of cities throughout the area.

Ahh damn. Might go steppe then with bits of it fettering off into the ashlands, godfang mt and the land beyond.

The way I'm currently rewriting my NS as a tribal federation, they're going to need a LOT of space.

I'll be needing some various branching rivers running into the one that runs into the Great Sea, with accompanying green lands. And a delta at the mouth of that river if you're so inclined.

Also @Flagg I like the idea of making Azar the anti-magic faction, but in doing so do you mind if I turn up their usage of archaeo-tech to basically have elite units in the army that are "strapped the fuck up" as the kids say?
