@Rtron Are you still at work, or can we get to that collab? I need to get it rushed out quickish before my other collab is finished, since the timeline will be your collab -> Another collab I'm working on

Could you provide a visual aide? No need to make it pretty, just need a circle to show the general location. I'll do the rest.
<Snipped quote by BBeast>
Oh yeah. Vestec has plans for that.

I get it. You hate the Rovaick. WHY DO THEY NEVER GET ANY ILLUNABAR LOVE. THE MOST THEY'VE GOT US TOUN'S MADNESS AND JVAN'S RAPE. TEKNALL DOESN'T COUNT.
Yeah, we don't have monopoly. It's just that there's a difference between some mortal being inspired to heat up the pretty rocks and a egypt-esque expansionist empire being made out of disparate stone age tribes at a snap of the fingers.
If you're stuck for what to write, get into the details of what you're trying to build. Show us the interesting challenges that were overcome to make this new society. It will do wonders in setting the tone for the society and building its character.
Sorry that there isn't much foundation for epic clashes right now, but you're simply going to have to build them yourself over time, so everyone understands what is actually being built.
Right now there's simply Amartia corrupting people, and a whole bunch of dialogue-starved, faceless characters behind him. I can't tell whether this new city is a dangerous place, or a utopian place, or barely holding together through fear, or what. There are plenty of gaps to fill.
@Muttonhawk as I already alerted you to what our next plan for Xerxes is, just PM me your issues in exact and I'll try to address them and flesh everything out more as I change Xerxes up in the time I get to do so. Goes for everyone else too, just voice what you want detailed and I'll get to work once I get some collab posts pushed out. Also Loki get back to me on if you're fine with me changing up the city while Amartia is occupied.
EDIT: Heavy WIP

Your gonna have to give me a few days, Im going to be very busy. Thanks @WrongEndoftheRainbow but what is the plan again? Can't be making plans behind my back about my city, unless its the Breaking Bad thing we were talking about. As for a government, thats been done, look at the nation sheet. That will be rped out when I can calm down and write a fully fleshed out post. I guess I've just been to invested in growing it and not 'designing' it. I apologize.
Due to your post @Muttonhawk, I'm starting to look at nation building diffrently. If y'all are willing to give me another chance to actually politically and socially build my nation, it would much appreciated.
@Rtron Where in the Ironhearts would I find Sularn (north, south, middle, relative location)? It would be nice to know, since I'm writing a world tour at the moment and need to finish there.
@LokiLeo789, I know one issue which will be especially pronounced in your city which would be interesting in address. 1% of all who die rise again as undead. They aren't bloodthirsty monsters or anything, they're just differently alive. We have Vestec to thank for that. In most settlements, they may get one undead per generation due to their small population. But you, with thousands, would have a notable (albeit still small) population of undead. What does Amartia and the citizens of Amestris think of them? What do you do with them?

@LokiLeo789 It's the breaking bad thing. I got Big Plans in store, but I need permission to do stuff to the nation to put those Big Plans in action

My money's on forcing them into a gladiatorial arena to fuel the populace's bloodlust and need for carnage, fueling the engine of Sin even further. Gotta fuel Wrath in a productive (and profitable) way. What better way than with
?
In Elefpria our undead are treated like normal citizens - because we're not assholes *trademark
That should be Alefpria's slogan, at this point.
