Oh, I was doing a deeper analysis and I definitely like the feel this has. Simple and clean.

That image for the academy is certainly charming, but what I found interesting above all was actually that line right under Character name on the CS code. I never thought that we could do something like that with the limited options we have to work with the Guild's bbcode.

My CS will be done yet today, as long as nothing out of ordinary happens.

I know I based Espenova off the Poland-Lithuanian Commonwealth, but I keep looking at it wondering why they would ever be scared of Xargon at all, lol. I feel like I made it a bit too big, so maybe I need to fracture a nation or three into smaller ones.

Well, they may be an unified nation in name only. Europe was and is still full of those.

Well, as y’all know I do have some fantasy-oriented influences, too. I used to have a picture for a RP I never did in this setting of a girl holding a giant blue crystal in their hands, so that may be a resource I have to iron out for the setting proper. I’m influenced by Valkyria Chronicles and Izetta after all, though I don’t intend magic to really be a thing outright either. Maybe the crystals serve a similar utility to Ragnite in Valkyria Chronicles or are a resource entirely different from the petroleum/coal stand-in that it serves as in the games. Might need to be discussed or workshopped.

I haven’t thought much about the religious development beyond the idea that Nordic Paganism might’ve been reformed at some point. Our equivalents of Greece and Italy might be still following a version of Greek Hellenism rather than Christian doctrines. I’ve always been fascinated by that idea. But yeah, I’m cool with Nordic (and German by proxy) Paganism being pretty prominent in Nordland and neighboring countries. I don’t see any reason to make this super rigid in a Christian clubhouse where a “no pagans allowed” sign hangs over the ladder, haha.
