I'm not exactly picky, but please, if you are interested there is only some limited things I wish you to follow. Primarily, be sure to read rules, keep yourself open to criticism if need be, and most importantly, "treat your neighbor as you would yourself." Feasibly, I am looking for 7ish roleplayers with a co-admin to keep things running tight, but realistically with how most of these NRPs go, it can be VERY difficult to keep people without them running off to the next NRP without even having said a single word. There is no real time limit on registration, so its a come in at any time sort of deal, and if you need to take a long break, I am not against it. You will be required to make a nation, but you will only be allowed on the map and get into the rp only once you have FULLY completed your sheet and have it approved. I will be the ultimate decided on who comes into the rp, and before making your sheet, I will require you to mostly read up on lore rules, some actual lore, history, and nation sheet requirements. Outside of the RP, watching a couple decent medieval history vids wouldn't hurt.

One of the huge issues I took away from another rp I made was that I had been far too lax on certain rules, creating a lull of the general theme, and these lore rules I wish to lay down for those just coming in. This is a medieval fantasy rp, and I'd heavily prefer it that those coming in to put thought into what they make and their empires, cultures, and army composition. These are mostly unspoken rules, and if you wish to challenge them before joining on in, feel free to contact me with a good counter-argument for it.

• Blood Crazed - Nations and factions which exist solely for conquest and sacrifice, forgoing trade, diplomacy, and basic living just cannot exist as a landed faction of any size and is generally just an RP I wish to avoid.
• Aquatic Nations - Nations, races, and factions who live underwater and can still beech themselves on land. This nation only exists to pretty much kill sea based trade, and in virtually invulnerable by the theme's standards without the help of nigh perfect magic. Aquatic nations need to be semi-aquatic, based more so on land, and if not, cannot be highly advanced, highly sentient, or highly magical.
• Hivemind Nations - Nations or factions which have near perfect coercion, immune to negative aspects rather then just more resilient to it. Nations that have fearless troops who do not falter in morale, can recover with perfect morale coercion in undoing a economic crises, or are completely incorruptible.
• Large Pure Nations - Nations which only have one known culture and way of life in spite of its huge size, while bordering various other nations. Cultures can in fact have groupings.
• Hellscapes - Nations living in literal hellscapes which provide perfect excuses for attrition for advancing armies, but to defenders is a source of great wealth and perfect protection.
• Weird Races - Races should be in this world be noticeable humanoid or beastfolk, not being so astonishingly weird and warped that their very existence treads the fabric between sci-fi and high fantasy.
• Infesting Races - Races which 'appear' seemingly anywhere and everywhere without much warning or explanation, be sure if you have a general racial group in a certain area which effects NPC nations or other players, be SURE to contact me or those players to settle things.
• Apocalyptic Empires - Empires designed not be empires, but as tools to cause unnecessary destruction, conquer, or genocide others just for the sake of some vague notions, especially ones under very generic xenophobic or religious reasons without a lot of thought put into it.
• Wall Empires - Empires which are 'mountains' on the map, primarily being lands which no one is allowed to interact with, go through, or war with. These are isolationist empires which never want to benefit from trade through their lands, block land and sea access for other player nations, and remain unaffected by their brutal isolation.

Gods 'kind of' exist in the world, although its better that they are thought of primeval and non-sentient. Gods take on monstrous and barely feasible forms, and most are highly animistic in thought and ideal. To most, they would seem to be a mysterious force in the universe which can create and destroy at a whim, and they are certainly not much of a race of being but rather physical aspects of various powers which mortals believe represent their own personal spiritual identities. These gods are creators, but their involved in the world was extremely limited, and rather act as harbingers of their domains rather then their builders. Gods are not truly evil or good in this sense, but are more like wild beasts which view mortals as microbes and can neither hear, answer, or care for their followers. Gods do not have personalities, and despite getting souls from spiritual pacts made by religion, they view this more as food for their kind to gain strength from without really knowing where it comes from. Gods live in their own little worlds and domains, living on planetary stars which defy laws of conventional reality and shift in and out of existence.

Angelic and demonic beings also exist, but are again, misrepresented by their believers due to little understanding for them. Angels are powerful spiritual beings which are essentially symbiotic parasites which infest living beings which grant them the magic of a god's domain, in both a negative and positive way. Those born of these great magicians made by angelic infestation become Magi, who are born with power. Magi are not as powerful as an infested being in terms of magic, but can learn all forms of magic, which is passed down usually through writing by the infested. Angelic beings die with their host, and 'devour' the host soul along with it, essentially 'adding them' to themselves. However, this process is very difficult for angelic beings and there are not many suitable candidates, and thus the process is extremely rare.

Demonic beings are actual parasites which are more likely exist in the world, but are often at extreme odds with it. Demons are aberrations, beings angelic beings who are mutated so beyond belief that they cannot provide anything to their host. Demons have an easier time entering the world, being weaker and more legalistic then their angelic counter parts. However, demons often devours their hosts, and the more they devour, the more physical they become and the more sentient. Demons however also are often at odds with virtually all monsters and horrible creatures which roam the world, and are in a constant war for their own survival. Most demonic beings do not last long in the world, and must constantly feed off the spirit. Most victims become catatonic and lifeless physically, and their conscious soul suffers what is essentially a second death when devoured and absorbed into a demonic being.

The soul is a real and living thing in the world and is crucial for survival. The soul is a conscious part of the body, and all living things have one, including mundane living things like ants, trees, and mayflies. Souls do not stay in the world unless by special means, and otherwise often move onto the realm of chosen gods, or simply the closest god from the world. Gods attract souls like magnets, absorbing them into themselves. The souls of others split whenever it is born, and is often a juicy attraction for spiritual beings like angels and demons. While the soul is a conscious immortal, that is also the most horrifying of issues. Most souls end up as spiritual slaves to the gods, or end up devoured and their conscious melded eternally into in uncaring mass of some higher being. The worst fate for a soul is being devoured by a demon, or captured by one, which devour souls in order to sustain themselves and thus 'truly killing' another. Demons also like to 'salt' souls through back breaking torture, which can sometimes last in real world time, tens of billions of years.

Magic is relatively rare, and it comes from four known sources; Being infested by an angel, being in an infested's lineage, being granted magic by a god, or gaining magic by transfer. Being infested in the simplest way to earn magic and is the boon for all magic in existence, but its also exceedingly rare. Infested can live longer then other, are stronger, and can perform magic at the highest rate without fatigue. Being in an Infested's lineage is another issue entirely. Only limited magi are produced from a lineage at any given time, and they are in the hierarchy of power the second most powerful of mages. Magi can learn any and all kinds of spellwork provided they can understand it and practice it without accidentally killing themselves with it. While the infested can exemplify one specific domain of magic with the most extreme of power, it is their offspring that can learn all forms of news spells and charms which gives them higher variety.

Magic via gift or transfer is much more difficult and it's rewards are few. Gods are very uncaring and barely sentient, and thus their most devote followers tend to ask for power is vague. Gods who grant power to their followers will do so for odd reasons, usually such as a reward for bringing them a large amount of followers or making an offering which they particularly enjoy to draw their attention, and to the gods this gift is often little more then their divine presence entering the world and drawn to the closest being they can find. These gifts can vary, such as surviving soldiers of a brutal battle suddenly getting magical power from a blood lusting god, or a water god appearing to survivors of floods, mistaking natural events as offerings. Magical gifts are not exactly powerful, and are only bound by singular domains. Magic via transfer is when any magical being decides, usually unwisely, to transfer their power onto another, reducing the quality of their magic and gifting it onto another who could only do a fraction of the magic of their granter.

Enchantment is a tricky issue, primarily because it is difficult for mages, as it requires them to be fully educated in the craft they make, and even then there are limits to this. Mages transfer part of their magic into materials, draining them of their power, but also create highly specific objects which can be of boon for others. However, enchantment can also cause huge gashing wounds from the molding of the transfer into artifacts, and more powerful artifacts often require more mages to do so. Most powerful enchanted items were often done in force and by the work of many mages who had to sacrifice much of their power and livelihood for it, and its a primary reason as to why enchanted gear is never commonplace in the armies of the world. Enchantment can vary, and can be unlimited in power, but are never invulnerable. Enchanted swords still can rot and break if not made correctly, regardless of the powerful enchantments put upon it.

Necromancery and undeath are part and parcel for those in Eae't, and is just a common form of magic like any other. Undead and other automatons are a lot like automated puppets, but there are others which can gain a soul and thus sentience. This process is very rare and limited, but it does happen enough for others to take immediate notice. However, these talking creatures are not trusted, and for the reason is for how they gain a soul, which is usually devouring and re purposing the soul to it's own creation. Essentially, these souls are tortured within their hollow forms till it is reformed into a new being of sorts, and this is done usually at the request of mages or by more advanced creatures which can exhibit this. Specters and other ghosts are fairly different, being more or less souls which had become trapped via powerful emotion or magic to the world, and 'spiritually decay' in the realm till they are devoured by the world itself. Their survival is based either on their own raw emotion or by a physical artifact which grants them continued existence.

Magic can vary, but there are only few known limits as the whole art is rarely recorded well and filled with religious propagandize, but what is generally known to all of Eae't is that time manipulation and resurrection is extremely limited, and so is all of magic itself. One can easily conjure elements easily enough, but complicated spells requires a masterwork of training which has since been lost. Time manipulation for instance is nigh impossible, and resurrection is extremely difficult and must be done swiftly before a body rots. These limitations extend to more powerful spells and abilities, and often requires multiple mages and enchanted foci to perform such tasks. While a singular mage is powerful, these powers do not always extend very well to larger bodies of work and can in fact be very frustrating to cope with.

Magi don't have an internal fatigue with their spell craft, but they do suffer from an overexertion called Mage Rot which causes their weaker mortal body to collapse into itself whenever they over use their magic or try to perform more powerful spells without proper training, equipment, or aid. Mage Rot is a lot like frostbite and is treatable and often starts at vulnerable fingers and toes, but higher overexertion causes the rot to travel through veins in a sickly blue and black glow which afflicts the whole body. Mages have been known to lose fingers, toes, eyes, and noses because of this disease, but more horrifying effects can range from the entire body exploding into a gory mess, or the entire body becoming catatonic.

The current year is 988 of the second age, and the world has fully recovered from the Imperium of Muha. The time before Muha is relatively unknown, and much of the world's history covered in legend. Almost 1000 years have passed since Muha's destruction and much has changed, territory and nations have changed greatly. Eae't is home to many races, but is primarily a realm of men and their nations. Most of the people of these lands have suspicions of one another, and a sense of superstition and unease grips much of the land itself. What is perhaps worse is that many parts of the land is ruled not by civilized nations, but by roving bands of monstrous horrors which roam across the known world since Muha's birth. Life is relatively short in Eae't, with conflicts abound between nations and nature.

Technology in Eae't had not advanced very much, in the middle ages of sorts. Gunpowder weapons exist, but are very rare and haven't advanced well at all. Concepts such as national pride and and machines are foreign. Local men are more prideful from the city they come from then with the nation which rules over them. While the common villager and spoiled nobleman may look up to old tales of honor and chivalry as facts of their lives, the dark reality of destructive war is more then ever present, with difficult choice abound.

If the Grovelands could be summarized in one word it would be ‘simple.’ This holds true for the government present in the Grovelands as well, and is even reflected in the very name of the region. In being called the Grovelands it is showing an assumption that the region is tied together by a consistent geographical feature rather than a polity, and this is a true assumption -- as there is no central or overarching government in control of the Grovelands or its people.

In place of a centralized or even decentralized government, the Grovelands is a smattering of collectives formed in familial orchards, intrafamilial hamlets, towns and even small mayoral cities. Each entity performs its own governance, with the Grovelander culture holding everything together rather than politics or law.

Despite this very loose feeling organization, the Grovelanders do feel loyalty not to a nation, but to themselves and their way of life -- banding together to fend off raids, marauders, pillaging or conquering kingdoms and other things that may interfere with their free commonwealths.

The Grovelanders themselves are considered relatively open minded should it not interfere with their daily lives but tend not to get involved with things beyond their cultural border, aside from the spare intrepid adventurer.




Unsurprisingly, the Grovelands is renown for its thick twisted forests of oak, pine, beech, birch and maple as well as many open groves. It is rather hilly, however, and when digging deep the soil is considered rocky. Because of this, apple orchards and other hardy plants are grown in the suboptimal soils, giving Grovelanders their nickname “Applekin.”The hilly forests and groves aside, the Grovelands is also home to many fens and swamps, often at the base of a wooded hill or shady grove. In the west, a gentle shore hugs the Grovelands, making sea travel into and out of the Grovelands easy.

The further East one goes in the Grovelands, the thicker the forests gets, until they in turn reach the borders of Beyonder itself. This proximity gives the Groveland forests a certain mystical and mysterious shade that bejewels Grovelander folk stories with strange happenings, unheard of beasts and magics, as well as other imaginative fables.

The Grovelands itself is in a northern temperate zone, and as such experiences a short but warm summer, a long and beautiful autumn, a snowy winter, and soggy spring. The colors in the autumn are so famous that their oranges and blazing reds that contrast twisted black trunks are often painted by explorers and are easily sold in markets elsewhere.






Salty waves and cobblestone streets describes the squat city of Souton. Run by an elected mayor, Souton is one of the favored ports in the Grovelands and is renowned around Western Yzaille as the safest port to resupply in while on a passage north as well as one of the best places to get Grovelander goods.

Its road system is considered a nightmare by most, with the buildings having been built rashly close to one another in non uniform patterns and styles. Souton is a melting pot of seafaring cultures that dominate the western coasts of Yzaille and as such it resembles the many groups of people that call it home -- giving it a mosaic look.

Considered the largest municipality in the Grovelands, it is also famed for its cuisine -- having blended a mixture of local favorites with the signature dishes of nations far beyond the groves.

While large, squished, and a pattern of many, crime is relatively low. The locals are considered tough, sensibly rowdy, and able to defend themselves easily, and that coupled with a dedicated street and port watch makes most criminals think twice before starting trouble.

Due to the possibility of sea raids past, present and future -- Souton is also one of the few places in the Grovelands that boasts an actual standing military. The small yet expert force is paid for by the locals, and serves as a further deterrent against deviant behavior from near and afar.



Similar to Souton and positioned more to the south (and away from raids), Bedford is on par if not ahead of Souton as the Grovelands largest fishing community. Being so embedded in its fishing culture, scrimshaw can be seen on almost every window among the cobblestone streets and squished buildings. Tales of sea beasts, vindictive whalers, and other salty yarns spill through the drinking shacks and parlors.

A favored dish of the Bedford residents, and one that has spread far and wide (although contended where it began) is a healthy plate of breaded white fish and roasted potatoes, sometimes served with lemons traded in from the southern kingdoms and duchies or pickled cucumbers minced in a mayonnaise.



Worchester is the largest inland municipality in the Grovelands. It’s central position in the grovelands make it an excellent stop for anyone passing through or for local farmers looking to sell their goods. Unlike most settlements in the Grovelands, Worchester boasts a wall and is divided in half by the Millville river. The Millville is slow moving at the surface but quickens as you go deeper, making it perfect for powering mills for grain and other threshing needs.

The Millville river was named after the small upriver hamlet where legendary figure John Dover was supposedly born. The folkhero Dover is accredited with creating the river when he had beat his opponent in a rock skipping match for the hand of his bride. He was said to have been so incredibly strong that he had skipped a boulder that ripped through the land and turned the lake into the contemporary river.

The legend goes on to suggest that Dover in his old age founded the western half of Worchester and his old opponent founded the eastern half.. The two halves eventually coming together as one Worchester. A small, sibling rivalry still remains between the two halves, but it is relatively harmless and more of a sense of pride.



While it doesn’t boast the melting pot style of Souton, or the markets of Worchester -- the smaller town of Attleboro is important in that it is one of the southernmost settlements.

Deeply set in the swampy south and pushed between bogs full of cranberries, sunny pumpkin patches, and hilly apple groves, Attleborough is a quiet and simple place -- serving almost as the tiny gate to the rest of the Grovelands. The only true reasons anyone goes to Attleborough is for family, or to try their famous cranberry breads and pastries.

Being set in the eastern corner of the south, Attleborough also boasts an eerie cemetery land -- said to be haunted by the forces of Beyonder. Most notably is a tiny stone hut that has sat on its ancient foundations longer than anyone can remember.



Souton isn’t the only settlement full of different peoples, and Ashton is a monument to this. Settled by seafaring [Sigmoo bug peeps] peoples, Ashton is a small home away from home for the [blank] culture -- now mixed with the pleasantries of Grovelander tradition.

It is located west of Worchester but inland of the western coast. [details wip]




In one word, Grovelander culture can be described as quaint. While it is true that the Grovelanders are considered tough, direct, swear-ready, defiant, and harbor a take-no-funny-business attitude; their rough and tumble vocabulary, accent and outlook is just a symptom of their accepted way of life. Embracing their relatively peaceful and free way of life means that to ensure their warm and cozy living remains such a way, that they have to adopt a level of roughness needed to keep it as such. They question authority and social "set in stones" freely, never fold (be it bravery, patriotism or arrogance) to external pressures, and are always ready to defend their homes and ways.

This is not to say that the Grovelanders are a very serious and stern people, as humor and comedy is not only a social goldmine among them, but a respected and enjoyed art. Because of this, Grovelanders are both intimidating in a sense that they could be in an obligatory brawl one moment, while wisecracking the next with the very same people they were just fighting with.

Other than humor and a sense of toughness, the Grovelanders respect families and familial loyalty, be it with your actual family or a close knit group of friends which serve as your adopted family in a sense. Those you care about and enjoy being with are some of the first priorities in Grovelander culture, a symptom of their way of their close living and free way of life. This sense of companionship often extends down to the many pets of the Grovelands, often taking the appearance of a loyal cat or dog.

The last two things every Grovelander respects is the Grovelands themselves, and its cuisine. The quickest way to upset a Grovelander is to insult or destroy the Grovelands in an unnecessary fashion, but the quickest way to please a Grovelander is with good food.

Key ingredients to every Grovelander’s feast include various seafoods, butters, cheeses, potatoes, yams, cranberries (and jellies), beef, chicken, hazelnuts, turkey, venison, moose, garlic, onions, corn, pumpkin, maple, tomato, bell peppers, wild rice, spinach, green beans, peas, cabbage, carrots, oats, apples, ciders, and an assortment of breads, whiskies, bourbons, beers and pastries. Some common dishes include shepherd's pie, meat pie, steamed clams, baked fish, and an assortment of maple desserts. While not eaten, tobacco is also a regularly enjoyed crop.

As assumed, maple plays as vital a role in Grovelander culture as their other signature foods. During the height of winter, maple season begins -- and as such, festivals and large communal feasts follow the labor intensive work of turning the maple sap into syrup and sugar. Communities gather together for the large boiling fires and moving of barrels, just to reap the tasty rewards as crafty elders put forth their most creative maple dishes.

Other important seasons include the harvest season of autumn, and following the last harvest of the season is the traditional harvest feast. Usually centered around the fattest hunted poultry of the season (usually a turkey), the community comes together to put forth the best of their season in one large cornucopia feast. It is unheard of for cranberries and pumpkins to not grace the feasting table, being as integral to the tradition as the bird.

In the morning the Grovelanders usually sit down for a breakfast consisting of eggs, bread and a slice of meat (usually bacon or sausage), this can be washed down with chilled milk. Lunch is usually a simple meal full of vegetables and proteins to keep the Grovelanders working strong -- this could be a salad or seafood tossed with cabbage. Finally supper comes last and is usually a quiet affair (outside of feasts) done with close friends or family. Here the Grovelanders take their time and put forth their best dishes and desserts. Since suppers come earlier in the day (around 5), Grovelanders may have a snack before bed -- usually leftovers or a pastry over hot cider (spiced with imported Cinnamon if they can afford it). During this post-supper time, Grovelanders enjoy their many hobbies such as playing instruments -- often acoustic or stringed instrument -- for their close ones, whittling/carving, sports, singing, story telling (and sea yarns), and in the cities: watching theatre or drinking at a local bar.

Due to the many seasons of the Grovelands, the Grovelanders have an array of usual outfits to wear, from billowy buttoned/toggled shirts over rolled up trousers and shoes in the summer -- to fur or wool lined heavy coats in the winter. Most outfits are considered fit for either man or woman to wear -- with little regard for any gender role, and so it is common for men and women to wear the same form of outfits in the Grovelands. One such popular outfit in the Autumn is heavy pants with boots strapped over, with woolen socks and shirt, and maybe a long Autumn colored cloak over the whole ensemble. While there is no one way to do facial hair, Men’s hair tends to be cut short -- but even then, with the medley of hair and skin tones that make up the Grovelands, such uniformity in length is outdone by the variety of hair possible.

When discussing community, it is also important to discuss the family structure of the Grovelanders. As mentioned previously, Grovelanders have a deep respect for both familial ties and friendship, making their families as liquid as they are solid. Bringing friends into close family events is normal for Grovelanders, and as tight knit they hold their direct family, they are also independent enough to often find themselves making their own families or lifestyles at young ages (usually by their late teens and early twenties). It is usually unheard of for a Grovelander to stick around their parents home past adulthood without a good reason such as being a help for a farm, business, or medical/emotional trouble; the former two being the most common in rural boroughs and hamlets.

Other than this sense of independence yet respect in regards to family, social rules and cues regarding families are as varied family to family as the many personalities of the Grovelanders is. In the spirit of this variety, humans are not the only race that can call themselves Grovelanders (though often they are), as a sizable goblin population also shares the groves with the humans.



Much like the other goblins populations of Eae't, the goblins of the Grovelands prefer to separate themselves from the other races. Their usually deep self segmentation from the other races, however, does not run as deep in the Grovelands as it does elsewhere. The traditional goblin philosophy is the disregard and abandonment of the technical progress of civilization and to shun the large civilizations built by the other races in favor of a simpler more traditional living in union with the spirits of nature. This is often mistaken by the other races as a sign of stupidity, savagery or primitive living -- these assumptions not helped by the goblins’ stubborn nature against correcting or conversing with outsiders.

However, these stereotypes do not hold completely true in the Grovelands. Oddly enough and in spite of the Grovelanders harsh and straightforward honesty and way of talking, the Grovelands are a surprisingly open minded people, and in giving the goblins that level of respect, the goblins reciprocated. They lowered their defenses enough for the two peoples to coexist happily and converse in the grovelands -- with the humans living in their boroughs and the goblins in their discrete tribal locations.

Trade is common between the two camps, and while there are territorial disputes between the two at times, their coexistence is relatively peaceful. This level of cooperation with goblins is rare, and as such, the goblins would rather keep what partnership they have garnered with the human Grovelanders and in turn usually appear to aid the Grovelanders when outside change is threatening to disrupt this balance.

Other than that, the goblin Grovelanders also hold a deep respect for the grovelands, as well as their own sense of humor -- which can be found rigid or dry in their stark and serious goblin Grovelander demeanour. Unlike their human counterparts, the goblin Grovelanders utilize shamanism -- and while they respect the human religions, they harbor their own shamanistic religion based around the direct worship of the nature spirits. This pan-goblinic religion steeped in harmless rituals and deep respect for nature, the ancestors, and the spirits is called many things depending on the tribe and location. The common name in the Grovelands is simply “The Shaman’s Path.”

The Goblins themselves rely less on harvest and farming than the humans, but instead hold a tradition of hunting in the thickest parts of the woods -- isolated from passerby. Their sacred hunting bows are used to take down the many deer, turkey’s and moose of the Grovelands. What farming is done is done in spotty segments of the forest, where shafts of light break through the canopies.

Their respect for the forests goes in so far as they refuse to harm the trees of the land, opting to only use fallen branches and logs for their unique settlements. Because of this unique outlook on wood-use, their tools tend to be fire hardened and their buildings take the form of stretched hide and canvas rather than logs.

These yurts can be so large as to have different smaller yurts stuffed inside, or have a shawl wrapped around a ring of tiny yurts as to protect from wind and snow. Added to this, the goblins tend to decorate their yurts with colorful paintings of their communities past, present and future.

Leading these colorful settlements is the elder of each clan, along with their shaman. It is a rare sight for one of these elders or shamans to make their way into a Grovelander city, but not uncommon for them to have contact with smaller hamlets and farmsteads near their clan’s homes.



Being denizens of an uncentralized cultural land, there is no official military force that blankets the Grovelands, nor is there any official levy. The defense of the Grovelands falls squarely on the desire for the locals to keep their land the way it is, and as such, in times of trouble, the people of both human and goblin territories rise to its defense.

The military can be split into two camps -- goblin warriors, and human militia. Some goblin tribal warriors have plenty of seasoned practice in the art of small skirmishes and wars from experiences of violent troubles between disagreeing tribes or territory disputes, and as such are well trained in their instruments of violence.

The goblin warriors are armed with a vast array of possibilities, from hammering clubs of wood and metal, to the ever present spear and javelin (preferring retrievable throwables to bows). Their hide shields are often painted with visceral colors, and their bodies tend to match. Flexible and thick clothing or hide can be used for armor, but their true edge lies in their ‘no hesitation’ tactic of fighting, making them fierce, fearless and extremely aggressive warriors -- able to strike where most would hesitate. They are unpredictable and extremely dangerous ambushers, often choosing the battlefield through expert tactics, deception and baiting.

The humans similarly may be well trained in their particular weapons of choice, or even violence itself -- the life of a hunter, or a farmer defending their stake from raiders and ne'er do wells providing ample opportunity to learn self defense and offense. This coupled with the trained police force of some of the cities and the fisticuff happy bar nights, the humans of the grovelands are not as naive in the art of violence as one would expect at first sight.

Complementing the goblin’s own fighting style, the people of the Grovelands are expert ambushers -- able to use their vast hunting knowledge and puzzling terrain of the thick forests and sudden groves to their advantage against foreign troops. Bows, axes and even swords find their way to the hands of the Grovelanders, using these personal weapons to better maneuver in the tight quarters of the forests and breaking up any uniform enemy. Maneuverable shields of banded wood are popular, as are strong nasal helmets. Body armor tends to be padded cloth between thick quilts, or mail between two quilts -- whatever keeps their body safe without making them too large or heavy to make their way through the forests and fens.

Despite the Groveland’s ability to field a large amount of belligerents, as each family has something to lose in the event of an invasion, the Grovelanders both human and goblin avoid large open battles -- sticking to the tactical use of their dense forests, swamps and hilly environments to ensure the victory. Traps, ambushes, and unexpected angles matched with the fierce tenacity and defiance of the denizens is what wins them their battles.

As far as their coast and naval engagements are concerned, without a centralized military or government, naval engagements are rare despite their mass of boats. Only when a major threat is imminent and a navy is truly required is when the Grovelanders attempt to join the municipalities and port towns into a militia fleet. Such a fleet focuses on using the Grovelander hooks and harpoons to link themselves with enemy boats, turning each ship into a tiny battlefield where they can unleash their aforementioned tenacity.






For clarity on a Goblin and what a Goblin looks like: a Goblin stands on average around four feet tall, have sharp facial features, a lack of facial hair, black hair, long sharp ears, brown to reddish eyes, and pale green skin. They can be fit, fat, skinny, muscular same as any human.



Cloudlings are strange cotton ball sized and shaped animals. They are made entirely of a cloud-like material and are known to be extremely gregarious, even imprinting themselves on Grovelanders -- especially the more adventurous and fun. Their ecological role is one of a pollinator, as they saturate their tiny bodies in sugars at every available opportunity -- pollinating flowers in the process. With the introduction of civilization, however, cloudlings are a renown pest as well as pet -- often getting into liquor stores and wine cellars, where they saturate themselves to the point of asexual reproduction in a form similar to mitosis. Many cloudling swarms have been made from a carelessly left open basement door giving a thirsty cloudling clearance to high spirits.

The cloudlings communicate through tiny “zzt”s, pops and crackles, being able to discharge tiny bits of static electricity. They often bumble into each other in the wild, creating tiny droplets of rain or harmless discharges of static. They don’t have much in the ways of defense, as they have no natural predators and are very hard to destroy. Their true lifespan is unknown, in no short part due to their similar appearances among themselves and random spurts of clone-like reproduction. Personality wise, these social pollinators tend to be not only gregarious but suffer from animalistic gluttony, bold ego, and often aggressive defense of those they are imprinted upon with little regard for their own safety. More than once there have been stories of tiny cloudlings saving a favored child from a stray dog or coyote by giving the attacker a shocking zap up the nose.

Cloudlings prefer colonizing inland areas with plenty of vegetation and that aren't too dry, barren, or hot.



Daffotales are an extraordinarily rare and unique species of daffodils -- if they are even related. These flowers usually grow alone deep in the forests, rooted where shafts of bright light spear through the canopy. They wiggle when approached, as if dancing -- and then proceed to either retell a story they were told/overheard, or fancifully tell the story of something they had witnessed. Some daffotales are extremely gregarious and will spill every story they can think of without regard for privacy, while others demand a story in return for their own -- a way to expand their repertoire.

How they came about is heavily rumored. The goblins claim they are the souls of lost children who had disrespected the most sacred parts of the groves and put into the ground by punishing nature spirits. This explanation sometimes includes adults, while Grovelanders themselves sometimes claim that they are the souls of stillborn children that had been buried in the forest -- or sometimes even the victims of starvation.



Hidden in the rocky islands of the north is said to be an aging seer. The seer is said to be able to tell you how you are to die and can be identified by the layers of goats wool and rattling jewelry that they wear. Their precise location is unknown, but rumor has it that during misty low tides, you can hear the oracle herd bleating goats on near the islands of Yarmouth.

Using this method of search along with the help of northern shore locals, Rachel Piper was said to have made the journey to the seer when she was a young teenager. Whatever happened at the home of the seer, if it was found or not, changed her forever -- turning her into the brave, fearless adventurer that common legends know her as. Most assume that she clearly found out how she was to die, and knowing when it wasn’t to happen -- rushed forward into danger without any regard for it.



No one is quite sure how the Gurken got their name, with it being an old word for ‘Cucumber,’ but it stuck. Despite the mundane name, the Gurken are revered not only in the Grovelands, but across Eae't as enigmatic and legendary envoys of whatever forest they are found in.

They are shy and quiet, going so far as to wear a wooden mask over their faces at all times. Their bodies are short (roughly 3-4 feet high) and completely made out of soil and moss, with strong wood acting as bones. Sometimes small plants grow on their soil covered bodies, giving them the look of a floral mosaic. Many naturalistic religions harbor them as sacred, or even outright worship them as the physical representation of a nature spirit. Sometimes decades will go by between sightings of a Gurk, but spotting one is always considered good luck, especially in times of need.

Despite their mythical reputation, the Gurken are also very childlike in their mannerisms, being naive or curious -- often sighting stories recall them playing with wild forest creatures and admiring plants. In legend, ancient dryads often refer to them as children of the forest, and when one goes questing -- it invokes the image of a young, child adventurer on a noble journey of great importance, an occasion rarer than a Gurk itself. In common fables, Cloudlings are rumored to be good friends of the Gurken, so many artists depicting a questing Gurk with wooden (and almost toy like) sword and shield almost always have a cloudling by their shoulder.

Deep. dark. Impenetrable. The carrion woods are a massive forest that smother the north. It is a dark oppressive place where the dead find no rest, but are instead animated by the forest as vengeful spirits, monsters of flesh and vine, root and bone, who drown those who disturb the forest in a tide of undeath. Legends say that the forest is home to a nature goddess, ancient as the trees themselves. Once both she and the forest where beauties to behold, emerald jewels of the continent, admired and respected by all. Yet the elves could not stand by and leave such a beauty unclaimed and so aimed to take it for themselves. With axes they tore down her trees to decorate their homes with its splendorous wood. With bow and arrow they hunted its beasts for their furs and scales.

Worse still, they built a great tower in her depths, to steal away her power. Enraged at this final, personal slight the goddess unleashed her fury upon the elves, killing most and binding the rest to her will, transforming them into the ashen skinned Drow. The forest came alive and using plant puppeted corpses tor asunder who subsequently attempted to enter, be they Muhakim or Muha. Tides of dead things began to emerge to asail the living sweeping north into elvish lands or south into the tribe lands until the day Muha fell.

When the last great civilisation fell the woods grew quiet. Elven kind had brought itself low and so nature could rest once more. For a thousand years the woods have slumbered, but even now only a fool would take an axe to its trees, for to do so would be to rouse the woods ire once more.

Nordheim meanwhile is a former dwarven colony found on a small peninsula jutting out into a bay. It is controlled by a democratically elected high council itself lead by two similarly elected Jarls. The region was settled by the dwarves raiders in the wake of the elven empire’s fall Nordheim became a fortified port city out of which further raids and conquests where wagged. As of present day the dwarves now control swathes of coast that are now dotted with smaller dwarven communities. The dwarves practice a form of ancestor worship/magic, where the spirits of the dead are bound to artifacts and can be summoned to aid the living in times of need.

The thing that links these two regions are its natives. Centaur, satyr and harpy tribes called the region home before the dwarves arrival but where unable to oust the stunty sailors upon their arrival. The initial bouts of dwarven conquest are now far in the past, and though bad blood still lingers the natives and colonists have formed a peaceful working relationship as their two cultures have mingled over the decades and their economies co dependent. The generally the dwarves dominate the coast, while the beastfolk dwell further inland.

They suffered mightily at the hands off the carrion woods in days gone past, but their own history says that the carrion woods where not quieted by the fall of the elves, but by a druidic hero who braved the depths of the woods, using strength, cunning and wit to win over its drow protectors and brought peace to the goddess’s blackened heart.

Since that day many of the beastfolk now worship the forest god rather than fear it, and some even live with the drow within its twisted depths. The worship is a harsh one, occasionally requiring sacrifice, yet it has kept the woods at peace for centuries. Only now do the woods stir once more, slowly wakening, angry and hungry, though none can say for sure why this is the case.

The Perkoni (Elflike Beastfolk)

The Perkones are a species that has unclear origins. It is assumed that they are native to the mountains of their homeland, and are proposed as a more primitive sister species to elves, with more animalistic traits in the form of their catlike ears, sharp teeth, strictly carnivorous diet, and retention of tails.

The Westmen (Human)

After the conquest of Westfield by the Ruhsoi, the humans who remained in Perkoni controlled territory, called Irġiel tal-Punent in their own language, coalesed into clan units occupying an unclear position within the Ruhsoi tribe. Existing within Perkoni society, these humans adopted aspects of the Ruhsoi culture, mixed into their Lounattar heritage. Like the Perkoni, they are cannibalistic and participate in sentient sacrifices, and retain elements of Lounattar culture, though they would no longer be recognizable to the modern people of El'Akim.

As Humans and Perkoni are incapable of producing offspring together, Ruhsoi and Westmen were incapable of creating lasting tribal alliances, and the two groups were never able to fully integrate, which was used as leverage by Blaisa in the conquest of the Ruhsoi, offering the Westmen proper tribe status should they ally with her. In her victory, the Westmen now occupy a unique position as a human tribe within the Perkoni political structure.

Forchite Elves

Forchite Elves were the original inhabitants of the Great Fork, settling the area between the two rivers in the time of Muha, divinding into agricultural city states. The cities were conquered by the Perkoni. As Perkoni and Elves are able to produce fertile offspring, the Forchite Elves were incorporated into the Perkoni tribal structure, and now constitute distinct clans within several major tribes.

The assimilation of the Forchites has been near total, with their only defining cultural traits being their preference for artisan work and the small numbers of speakers of the Fork Elvish language.

Pre and Proto-History
Felinoid humanoids are not unheard of, but the exact origins of the Perkoni, or populations ancestral to them is entirely unclear. Tales from eastern cultures seem to make reference to cannibalistic peoples inhabiting eastern mountain ranges. At some point, these peoples were expelled, and no further references to them appear. Later historical documents make reference to a group of felinoid beastmen, assumed to either be the Perkoni themselves, or populations that were ancestral to them, arriving from the east. These people settled in the area between the x and y rivers, quickly overrunning and forcing pre-existing populations to either flee or be eradicated. These lands became infamous as the origin of raiders and pirates navigating the rivers. The first documented reports of the Cannabis plant being present in the west appear at this time as well.


_{The dreaded Proto-Perkoni, the beastmen who migrated from the mountains.}

At this early period, the Perkoni do not produce any documents detailing their own history, being seemingly illiterate at this time. Rather, all proto-history about them is told through the eyes of their neighbors, who paint a picture of a purely savage people living at the periphery of civilization.

Early History
The first 600 years of Perkonic history are extremely vague. The earliest written documents are in an alphabetic system seemingly created from scratch, though only used for either King lists dating back to around 2A 100, or for documenting livestock and slaves. Written prayers to the spirits are found buried under trees, written on hemp paper.

Shortly after their arrival, according to oral traditions, the Perkoni split into 3 major clans, the Feletsi, the Bofes, and the Ruhsoi. The Feletsi largely settled in the forklands proper, integrating with the Elves to the greatest extent, while the Bofes and Ruhsoi moved east. The Bofes split, with a smaller clan, the Siluri, adopting a more agricultural lifestyle, remaining by the Floodplains, while the pastoral Bofes continued to the pastures eastward. Offshoots of the Feletsi and Siluri would coalesce on the other side of the territory, along the southern river floodplains, joining into the Finnoi, while the Ruhsoi would continue the most eastward of all the tribes.

At this time, the Ruhsoi were under the leadership of a powerful king named Malgos, who had, through a great cattle raid, which was put to paper as an epic poem later, in which the Ruhsoi stole the cattle of all 5 of the other tribes, Malgos came across the pastures of the land known as the Westfield. Westfield was under the control of El'Akim. Malgos, inspired by the success of his cattle raid, crossed the border to begin raiding and settling in Westfield. The Mass migration of the Perkoni earned resistance from the Lounattar, eventually forcing the King of El'Akim, Joshua, to meet Malgos in battle at Stony Brook, where the Ruhsoi crushed their enemy. Legend says that Malgos himself dealt the fatal blow to Joshua, ripping his enchanted sword from his hand, but the Spirits, infuriated with Malgos' hubris, denied him the chance to slay his enemy and consume his liver, with the King escaping from Malgos, but dying from his wounds later, and Malgos being bitten by a mosquito in the heat of battle, infecting him with a fever that would too kill him shortly after his return home.

Malgos left behind 5 sons, however, only 2 are known to have lived. The first was his eldest son, Cassius, who had his younger brothers killed to secure his place as Malgos' sucessor. The Second was his 3rd son, Calatos, who fled upon discovering his brother's plan to have him killed after slaying an attempted assassin, but managed to steal the Enchanted sword of their father before his escape. Calatos found asylum among the Feletsi, where the King tasked him with slaying a horror, which he managed to do with his sword. The sword was then offered by Calatos to the king in exchange for marriage to his daughter, which was granted, and Calatos was made a chief for his actions.

Around 2A 350, proto-history as told by oral traditions end, and the king lists began to evolve into written histories tracing back the lineage of kings and how they fit into the Tribal History. These poems, part history, part genealogy, are littered with mythology and thus serve little to give an accurate picture of the Perkoni, but give insight into their view of the world and their place within it. The poems do confirm that nearly all Perkonic tribes believe in a mass migration to their current homeland from the east, in line with the earliest references to them.

The Great Servile War and the end of Ruhsoi Hegemony

_{Dumnovalos, leader of the Slave Rebellion, and an example of the Meso-Perkoni of the mid-second era, showing the appearance of strong elven features and the adoption of elven styles of dress.}
By the time of the mid-second era, the Perkoni were extensively intermixed with elves due to the extensive practice of keeping elves as sex slaves and concubines, to the point that much of their beastly features such as fur and more catlike facial features gave way to elf-like faces. These so-called "Meso-Perkoni" quickly became the dominant species in the lands controlled by the tribes, with the elves being reduced to a minority, relegated to a few clans. So too did the Perkoni begin to adopt more elven behaviors, with a transition from pastoralism to agriculturalism being widespread even in the lands of traditionally nomadic tribes such as the Ruhsoi and Bofes. The production of wine and mead became a major industry for the Perkoni at this time, and the Perkoni began to exchange their "barbarian" clothing of pants and tunics for "civilized" elven gowns and kimonos. The Forchite language, taught to kings and shamans by elven slave tutors, became a second tongue for educated Perkones. At the same time, the Lounattar population of the Westfield, through influence of the Meso-Perkoni and intermarriage with elves, began to adopt elements of Perkoni and Forchite culture, diverging from their brethren in El'Akim into a new culture, the horsemen known as the Westmen.

Though the Ruhsoi had established themselves as dominant over the other Perkoni tribes for much of their history, the raw power of the Ruhsoi began to decline with the death of Malgos and the ascension of his son Cassius, who proved to lack the power to keep absolute Ruhsoi dominance, with the Feletsi and Finnoi breaking from the hegemony in the White War, where Cassius was paralyzed after receiving a broken neck. Cassius died two years later, with his nephew Gaisos taking over. Gaisos, seeking retribution, had the Ruhsoi carry out a massive slave raid on the Finnoi, taking back 200 slaves, among them, a young boy named Dumnovalos and his mother. Gaisos would reign for 10 years before he was killed by his sister, Slania, who was deposed by a betrayal by her royal guardsman, Virigusus, who had Slania sold into slavery, where she encountered Dumnovalos and the other slaves of a farmer. Slania, seeking a chance to restore her throne, promised Dumnovalos and his fellow slaves freedom should they help her take back her throne. Dumnovalos, who had lost his mother not long ago due to the cruelty of his master, agreed, and organized a slave revolt with Slania. After seizing their master's farm and killing him, the revolting slaves marched across the territory of the Ruhsoi, stealing horses, burning farms and massacring cattle en mass. Before eventually meeting with the usurper king and killing him, however, as Slania was killed in the war, the Ruhsoi were sent into a succession crisis without any surviving members of the Cassid dynasty. Seeing that their amnesty was lost with Slania's death, the slaves fled, taking their seized cattle and horses with them, and leaving the lands of the Ruhsoi in chaos, breaking their long established hegemony.

The current tribal confederation is lead by the unifier herself, Blaisa, who has placed her tribe, the Feletsi, and her clan, the Pentiloi, at the forefront of the confederation, and begun negotiations with external groups to secure the future of the Perkoni in the face of a changing world.

The Perkones live in small mobile settlements, centered around round houses created with thatched roofs. Tribes usually have two settlements, one higher in the mountains, and another lower, that they move to as the herds of sheep migrate. Their entire culture is centered around the herding of sheep and goats, which they lead between seasonal locations for grazing. The Perkones make their clothing from wool and goatskin, eat a diet consisting mostly of goat and sheep meat, and engage in ritualized sheep theft.

Childhood and Growing Up
Perkoni usually have 1-3 children per pregnancy. When a child is born, the father must ritually accept the children, and any that are not accepted are buried to kill them. Children are inspected for any defects or illnesses, or to see if they look too sickly. Girls are favored over boys, as the allowance of a woman to have plural marriages allows for more potential family alliances. Children are not given names for the first few years of their lives, as it is assumed that they have not yet gained the favor of the protective spirits with sacrifices, and thus are susceptible to being targeted by evil spirit attracted to their name. As they have no spiritual protection, it is assumed children are more likely to become ill and die.

When the child is first able to swallow solid food, they are considered to have moved beyond babies and are now "children". The occasion is marked with the sacrifice of a slave, and the child is fed their first cannibalistic meal, which gains them the protection of the spirits by having partaken in the sacrifice. Children are also given a coin with which to symbolically "pay" for the slave.

After this, Children are given a special amulet, made from a carved bone from the slave, to wear to show their status as a legal child, and that they have participated in a sacrifice to other spirits.

Most children live fairly similar lives until they reach the age of 15, in which one of four paths will open up depending on their social class.

Marriage
Among the laborer caste, 15 is the age of marriage. Marriages are typically arranged by the parents of the couple, and mostly for utilitarian reasons. As the Perkoni are matrilocal, men move into their wife's residence. This is the most important ceremony for those in the laborer caste, and from this point on they will mostly spend their time farming or crafting.

Military Stratification
Children of the Warrior caste have the most divergent of childhoods, being separated from their families to live in castra by the age of 5, where they undergo military training. By 15, they are separated into specialized schools depending on their status as "commoner" or noble. This continues on for another 10 years until they are ready to get married and resettle on either their father or wife's lands once again, until needed for war.

Religious Education
Children of the Shaman caste have lessons in writing and grammar of the Perkoni and Forchite languages, to prepare them for scribal work, and to get them familiar with the structure of the languages of the holy texts and songs. At 15, they are sequestered off into monasteries, where they are educated full time by an elder shaman who teaches them the proper rituals, songs, prayers, and such religious subjects. After 15 years, they are ready to get married and to find work among the communities of the Perkoni clans as spiritual leaders or as scribes to kings and nobles.

Political Education
At 15, children of the kings and chiefs are typically given an education to prepare them for their future leadership roles. This education is far from standardized and at the discretion of the parents.

At 20, all Perkoni are considered adults and are able to be held accountable for their following or breaking the Nafas law.

Clothing of the Perkones is typically made from their three main sources of cloth: hemp, sheep's wool, and cow leather. Hemp is the cheapest source, being widely available to even the poorest farmer. The cloth is considered useful, but common. Wool is second in prestige, being a common cloth, but reserved to garments such as cloaks or to blankets. Leather is the finest of the common materials. One who can afford a leather shirt would belong to the upper echelons of the tribe.

The finest of all materials is the skin of certain sapient races. The skin of humans and other Perkones is considered precious and usually used for decorative purposes such as gloves, curtains, or bookbinding. The skin of elves is considered the most precious of all, and only tribal chieftains are permitted to wear garments, such as gloves or arrow quivers, made from elven skin.

The Perkones are known for their love of vibrant colors, which they obtain through local plants and insects. The color red is the most common, created from the crushed shells of a type of beetle. Men and women alike wear tunics, reaching down midway past the knee.

Women typically wear a woolen shawl that they wrap around their bodies and over their heads in the winter, while men tend to don hooded cloaks made of wool. Perkones generally do not wear pants save for in the winter. Women wear a traditional turban, wrapped around their head except for their ears.

Shoes are made from leather, either leather from cattle, or Orcskin for the upper class. They are highly decorated, and often contain tribal markers.

Language:
One of the savages introduced me to their local word for wine, 'finom', and for red, "russom" while attempting to trade.
The Perkonic language is a fusional, highly inflected language. It has been described by outsiders as "beautiful" and "musical", despite the barbaric reputation of its speakers.

Cannabis Cultivation
Aside from the bulbous root, the savages are fond of another peculiar plant. It is a shrub, covered in jagged leaves. They collect the leaves and seeds for food, the later producing oil for cooking. Of particular note is their harvesting of the flowers, which they burn for its intoxicating effects.

Cannabis, known to the Perkoni as the Mother of the Mountains, was introduced to the west by the Perkoni shortly after their migration, and they have been cultivating it alongside the potato for all of their recorded history. It bears great cultural significance to them, and figures into much of their imagery alongside the Oak leaf. The plant is used for food, cloth, and paper, but of note to most outsiders is its use as an intoxicant. The flowers produce an intoxicating effect when burned, and as such, trade agreements to import these flowers have developed with the Perkoni, who willingly agree.

Metallurgy traditions

Perkoni metalworking is characterized by inlaying, usually into Gold or Copper.

Social Structure
There does not appear to be significant differences in the lives of the men or women among the Perkones, all seem to live free lives, engaging in all the depravities of savage folk.
Stratification among the Perkones is based on inherent caste, with little in the way of gendered differences. Men and women have more or less the same freedoms, however, a herdsman, a warrior, and a shaman vary widely in their privileges.

Sexuality, Relationships, and Marriage
As Nafas concerns itself with sexual behaviors rather than sexual orientation, there is no cultural hostility towards same-sex behavior or relationships in Perkoni society. Rather, it is seen as a non-issue in most cases. The Perkoni place no value in chastity and virginity, and in general allow for a free expression of sexuality provided it does not transgress bounds set by nafas.
The Perkoni practice polyandrous marriage, a curious trait that developed in their prehistory. Women are permitted multiple husbands and are in fact encouraged to take multiple husbands according to Nafas. However, men may not take multiple wives, nor may those in same sex partnerships take multiple spouses as the Perkoni view these relationships as 'unproductive'. Members of the royal caste are expected to take a spouse with which they can produce an heir, regardless of their preferences.

Slavery
The lust for slaves seems unquenchable for the savages. They conduct nearly weekly slave raids, seemingly never satisfied, always spiriting away more victims.
Slavery is a very real institution among the Perkones, who routinely carry out slave raids against other tribes as well as neighboring nations. Slaves serve a variety of purposes. The most common of these is their use as farmhands. Slaves are used for maintaining cannabis crops, while the more respected maintenance of the livestock is handled by the farmer themselves. Slaves are not permitted to consume the flesh of high livestock such as cattle or goats and are fed a mixture of cannabis leaves (colloquially known as Perkoni Spinach), and meat from pigeons. Slaves have no rights, and are considered to be a form of livestock.

Slavery is, to the surprise of many, not a hereditary status, but a personal one. The children of slaves are not considered slaves, but freeborn members of the tribe. Children of slaves become the immediate inheritor of their parent after the death of the current owner, superseding even the immediate family of the owner. The child of a slave also has the right to intercede upon the decisions of a slaveowner, such as forbidding a slaveowner to kill their parent, with the right to kill a slaveowner who disobeys the demand. The right of tribal membership extends to non-Perkoni who are born in the tribal lands, and as such, a small number of non-Perkoni tribals exist.

Food

The staple food of the Perkoni is the potato, which they brought with them from the east. Along with potatoes, the Perkoni brought the cannabis plant, which they cultivate for the seeds, either eaten as they are, ground into powder, or used for making oil, or the leaves, which are colloquially known as 'Perkoni Spinach', either cooking them or using them to brew teas. Millet is cultivated for flour, which is used to create bread.

As a people who are dependant upon their domesticated animals, the Perkoni diet is filled with dairy products, with goat and cow cheeses coming in a variety of preparations. Milk is extremely common as a drink. Meat is common, but mostly being that from the domesticated pigeon. Flesh from hunted beasts, such as sand rats and wolfmen is commonly eaten as well, as are slaves and war captives in cannibalistic feasts.

Perkones cannot consume large quantities of sugar without becoming ill, and such have a long tradition of fermentation, being avid consumers of wine, mead, cider, and even some dairy-based alcoholic drinks.

Cannibalism

_{Ritual utensils used for cannibalistic feasts}

The most infamous practice of the Perkoni to outsiders is that of cannibalism.

The Perkoni practice both cannibalism sensu stricto (eating members of their own species), and cannibalism sensu lato (eating members of any sapient, intelligent species). The tradition of cannibalism has a long history, seemingly predating the Perkoni themselves and originating in their ancestors. Cannibalism probably originated as a method of supplementing meat in their mountain diet but has since evolved into a cultural custom, and a revealed part of their heritage. The Perkoni believe that eating a being with a soul will increase the power of their own soul, and thus give them greater power in the afterlife while weakening the soul of their victim. It is believed by the Perkoni that those who are eaten will serve as slaves, or otherwise be subservient to the one who has consumed them, and thus cannibalistic meals are often tribal feasts.

The source of those who are killed and eaten is from war captives and slaves. To kill and eat a free person is considered murder.

Cannibalism is highly ritualized, specialized utensils, meal etiquette, and culinary terms have been developed for the consumption of sapient species. It is considered greatly taboo to eat the brain of a sapient being. It is believed that eating the brain of an intelligent lifeform will give the knowledge that the being acquired in their life, and the spirits will punish this transgression to the limits of mortal knowledge by stealing away their mind with madness and death.

The military of the Perkoni can be divided into three elements, that of the Epostres, the Milites, and the Levies. The first two elements, the Epostres and the Milites are drafted from the warrior caste of Perkonic society.

The Warrior Caste
The class system of the Perkoni is divided into 4 elements: The Kings, the Shamans, the Warriors, and the Laborers. The Warriors make up the landowning class of the Perkoni society, holding onto inhereted plots of land called pagini, which are distributed to families belonging to the laborer caste, who work the land and pay tribute to the warrior clan who own the land that they work.

The warrior caste involves a harsh education system where children belonging to the caste are separated from their parents at 5 years old to spend the next 20 years being trained in specialized regimens to become elite warriors of the Perkoni tribes. The first 5 years play out the same for members of the noble and common warrior caste, however, by the time that the children reach the age of 10 they are transferred to the specialized schools, the 'scola epostris' for the children of the nobility, and the 'scola militaris' for the children of the common caste.

The Epostres

Before their explusion from the eastern mountains, the Perkoni had domesticated the horse and the camel for use as beasts of burden and means of travel, in the mountain valleys that they inhabited. After their explusion, the forced migration into the grasslands of the west necessitated a transition away from a pastoral life into that of more agricultural one. However, the horse and camel remained as status symbols among the nobility, and quickly the two animals became the defining features of the military nobles.

According to Nafas law, only the nobility are permitted to ride a camel, and only the military nobles may ride a horse into battle. The result has been that the military nobles quickly evolved into a form of hereditary cavalry that operates as the most elite of Perkoni soldiers.

The Epostres, being of wealthy extraction, are able to afford the best weapons and armor available to the Perkoni, and are heavily armored, with steel polearms being their signature weapon. They are a formidable force, even if they make up the smallest portion of the military.

The Milites

The Milites are the lower class of the military caste, comprising of those soldiers trained to be foot soldiers. The milites function as infantry, archers, and any other function necessary, the Milites make up about 2/5 of the army. The milites, like all soldiers, are expected to provide their own weapons and armor, and being of the middle class, they typically are able to provide all necessary equipment at decent quality.

The Levies
Levies are the members of the laborer caste who are called to arms by their landholders. Being farmers, artisans, and generally not soldiers, they usually have little experience and are simply called in to fill the ranks.

These savage people are prone to all sorts of atrocities, none the least of which their flagrant barbarity in the slaughter of not only human, elf, or orc captives to their vile gods, but their own kind as well.

They seem to worship trees, which they make use of for their hideous rituals. When they come across an oak tree, they wall the plant in, threatening all who do not take proper precautions with death should they violate the sacred ground.

The religion of the Perkones revolves around the veneration of natural spirits. The Perkones do not have gods, in the usual sense of the word. Instead, they seem to believe that the natural forces of the world contain some kind of inherent sentience and that they must gain the favor of these forces in order for their tribe to be successful. The most common form of gaining favor with these spirits is sacrifice in their honor. The Perkones consider the act of giving up one's desire for the benefit of another to be a great act, and this lends itself into their practice of giving up personal belongings to the spirits for favor. This can be items of great material value, or food. A common sacrifice is for a tribe to slaughter and then bury a number of their sheep as a gift to the spirits. Most infamous of all, however, is the readiness to participate in the sacrifice of sapient slaves, war captives, or members of their tribes to the spirits. The usual method of doing this involves the use of the oak tree, the most sacred of all trees to the Perkones. The usual method involves simply hanging the victim from the neck on one of the tree's branches, but a special form of sacrifice involves nailing the victim to the tree through their hands and feet, and leaving them to die on the tree over the span of a few days to one week.

The Oak Tree is considered the most sacred of all trees to the Perkones, and they believe that oaks are the home of the spirits. To deface or kill an oak tree is punished by death. Oak trees are typically decorated by the tribes that are aware of them, and shrines often appear at the roots of these trees for sacrifice and petition of the spirits. When an oak tree or a collection of them is found, the tribes will construct special 'gates' that require those who wish to enter to engage in a ritual of purity before they may pass, on penalty of death.

The Nafas System
The Perkoni have an extremely complicated code of conduct in their daily lives that dictates every action in private behavior, and influences the public laws. This unwritten code is known as Nafas, and is sometimws known by outsiders as Perkonic Sacral Law.

Nafas divides all behavior into 5 catagories

Fihtos (Holy) - These are behaviors that are considered especially virtuous. This includes sacrificing to the spirits,taking on a second husband, freeing a slave, pilgrimage to an oak grove, and other such behaviors.

Duenos (Good) - Behaviors and actions that are commendable and within the bounds of morality. Getting married, smoking of cannabis, participation in a cannibalistic meal, and participating in daily rites.

Fitoz (Of Life) - Neutral behaviors of daily life

Malos (Bad)

Nafos (Forbidden) - Activities that are forbidden under all circumstances, punished with death. Murder, Damaging and Oak Tree, Treason, and such behaviors fall into this catagory.

The Westmen do not follow Nafas, which has lead to conflict between the groups. Westmen generally avoid public taboo, but do not, and are not held accountable for maintaining private taboo

The Triumvirate
Blaisa's brutal subjugation of the Perkoni Tribes was not the work of one woman, but of an intricate network of alliances, schemes, and partnerships upon which the war could be built. The Triumvirate consists of Blaisa and her two most trusted allies. Quintus, the leader of the Siluri tribe and Blaisa's first ally, and Livia, a human freed slave, who rose to be the most senior general of Blaisa's forces. While Blaisa now holds the title of High Queen, Quintus and Livia serve as her Consols.

The Kingdom of Nandar occupies a stretch of land along the west coast of Eusovis. It borders … It was formed by King Aelend, who united the Nandari tribes after the fall of the Mukahim Empire. The Nandari then spread further inland, growing in might and influence. Nandar has a complex, often volatile relationship with its neighbors.The Dathanari Empire has invaded Nandar on more than one occasion, yet they have stood together against ... when their hegemony has been threatened. Ever vigilant of its neighbors, Nandar has come into its own as a powerful nation in Eusovis.


Political power in Nandar is highly decentralized, with the land organized into duchies ruled by semi-autonomous dukes. The monarch does not rule absolutely, but is instead regarded as a “first among equals.” At the founding of Nandar succession was hereditary, but this was never a popular trend and it fell out of practice early. The dukes form the high-ranking aristocracy of the kingdom and elect the monarch from their number.

Nandar’s system of dukedoms is a continuation of ancient Anar social hierarchy. The Anar organized themselves under the leadership of chiefs who ruled petty kingdoms and territories, forming the precursors to present-day duchies. These chiefs were near-exclusively chosen from a noble caste. Kingship was a temporary title and duty, conferred when centralized military leadership in a time of war was deemed necessary.

When the Muhakim Empire conquered western Eusovis, this system was left largely intact, provided the regional rulers swore fealty to the Empire. The territories of the Anar were incorporated into the Empire as the province Anaria. The borders of the Kingdom of Nandar roughly corresponds to that of Anaria, with some variation as a result of recent conquests.


The people of Nandar are the descendants of an ancient tribe of elves that settled in Eusovis thousands of years ago. Over time, these elves intermingled and bred with human tribes, creating a distinct blend of cultures. These peoples organized themselves into tribes and elected their leaders, often forming ad hoc coalitions against beastmen and other threats. They were known by many names, but the most dominant of these tribes was the Anar. The Anar was the namesake of the Muhakim province of Anaria and its socio-political structure would influence the region to the present-day.

Nandar society is divided into a hierarchy of classes: a noble class, a class of free-persons, unfree serfs and slaves. The nobility tends to live in cities, rather than landed estates. Though their duties include presiding over military and legislative functions in their duchies, most do not own vast swathes of land as per traditional feudalism. That honor belongs to the freemen, the largest class of Nandar. The freemen includes landholders, merchants, artisans and other ‘middle-class’ professions. In addition, their services are called upon in wartime as retainers and the levy of Nandar’s armies. Despite being the largest class, the freemen lack access to the king and the political influence required to make much impact on the kingdom’s politics and legislation. The class of serfs encompasses anyone who is not a freeman, but also not a slave, in the Nandari sense. These serfs are often tenants of the landowners, consigned to working the fields and farms of estates in exchange for residence and protection. They are tied to the land in which they work and cannot own property. Slaves occupy the lowest rung of Nandar society but slavery is not a widespread industry and they are not common. Slaves are usually prisoners of war pressed into domestic service. They may be considered part of a household, along with one’s family, but in other cases slaves have households of their own. Slavery is also a punishment threatened when an individual is unable to pay a finanical compensation for their crimes, or for certain criminal offenses. The guilty party will be made a slave to the victim, or injured party, along with their property. A person can also voluntarily become a slave to pay off a debt they cannot otherwise afford.
