Darn, screw me too :D
While I wait for IC to start proper, I'll keep trying to add as much detail to my nation as possible.
Also, let's have some philosophical debate :).
Back then in the 'dark age', there's no concept of the nation. So how are we supposed to conduct ourselves in this RP?


Well, this is a bit before the Dark Ages.
Have you ever read Bec?

Nope, I haven't read Bec yet. I've read some of the classics though, and alot other literature from other periods before the idea of nationality happened. Basically, people are united with bits and pieces of the same reasons as nationality... Which is what I'm going for to make it realistic. My people are bound by virtue of having the same mythology, mentality and race. Language plays a role to an extent.

I'll add gold mining, aswell as gold importing to the NS.
Yes, gold coating is of an important issue, gold is the mineral of the Emperor, therefor, since the Holy Legion is essentially the honor guard aswell as Royal guard of the Emperor himself they are coated in the stuff to look as majestic and Royal as possible, there's also a couple religious reasons.

I took the plague into account when numbering the cities of the Imperium, I wanted it to be a large empire and simply because of it's large population disease and plagues would be a problem, which is exactly what I planned. But if you wish for me to make the city population smaller then I will do so.
Off topic, but I just wanted to say this. What I was thinking about the Exiled and Holy legion format is that they differ incredibly in strenght, the exiled legion using only outdated Equipment for example and the Holy Legion basically being the most experienced, veteran and well equipped Soldiers in the entire Imperium. They were supposed to be infamous for their strenght and legion size, and since they use copper which is easilly re-shapeable they would also be known for their majestic appearence.

I don't even have a pad :( Well, actually I do have one but it's one of those that costs less than a hundred...

Anyway, I've made more mention of your race, HounderHowl. Basically, our race weren't exactly on friendly terms. Good news is, that was more than 20,000 years ago, way before history.

So I guess I created a new classical hero/folk hero for you heh :D. Although considering that he hitched a ride with the Daemonrexa... Maybe he could be a classical villain? :D

He would have still been honored though an exile, that would definitely been a childrens story, like a nursery rhyme. And the one who plotted to kill them in their sleep would have been seen as the villian.

Alsoooo, for having not finished the fight the leader of said time would have been slayen by his own people. Their belief that death in service to the clans allows passage way to the afterlife.

Oh... Still... They did see the Daemonrexa as unholy, foul things that do not deserve an honest fight on the battlefield. But you could be right. To a race of warriors, assassination is just downright villainous yes? Even if you're trying to get rid of a whole race of demons? It'd be interesting what kind of cultural influence my Daemonrexa would have on your race despite that huge time gap.

But then again, alot of classical works are actually just oral tradition written down, copied and recopied, until we end up with what we have now. In fact, the story of Noah's Ark had roots in the Epic of Gilgamesh, which itself have roots in an even older story, and that's just going into the written stuff. We'll never know just how many times that story's been passed around mouth to mouth... D:

Along with something else your people would have been apart of why my people no longer allow passage through their mountains and generally no free will outsiders in.

Because after that the clans (six back then) after the night of you fleeing bagan to massicar one another completely demolishing a few of the ancient stone cities.

Guerrilla warfare is seen as normal while assassination is weak even if it means getting rid of "demons" the people like shows of strength and courage rather than intilect and stealth

It's actually Guerilla warfare, not Gorilla warfare :D :D :D

Hmm it's very interesting how you've decided to weave so much of my mythology into your history... I find it far-fetched though that something that happened so long ago could still have such a meaningful impact on your nation's policies and society...

Its not just you, I'm working on more reasons why other people are not allowed in and such mostly for greed and the hoardingness of my people.

Guerrilla, from the diminutive form of the spanish "Guerra", meaning war.

Only six? There used to be tons of Clans IRL. They were usually tiny. I remember reading something about clan MacConn of Ireland struggling to fit 11 members of neighbouring clan MacCadan into their rath. Eleven people entering a village or town nowadays is practically negligable

I think so.
7 days non-stop riding from pole to pole. Of course, weather, terrain and the need to eat and sleep will slow you down, as will the horse just naturally slowing down.
