[quote=Gowi] Vecca, Himnar, and Volskar are the three big kingdoms of Vkaski culture with a merchant core in Govski. Outside of politics with one another being mild at best, there are a lot of nomadic pagan types all over their continent that are rather aggressive and such (think of norse vikings, pagan slavs, or even the wildlings from Game of Thrones). These three kingdoms are known for their skilled soldiers and mercenaries. They don't often deal with other continents in terms of trade, politics, etc. outside of selling out the occasional band of swordsman and such. As for the situation, I think I might throw some "cold war" scenarios or perhaps a unified nomad band of pagans who are being very aggressive. Plenty of room for politics, but for now that's the brunt of it. I do have one Vkasi character and he's pretty well-known hiresword/soldier in his homeland. [/quote] Hmmm, that's workable. Getting an idea for a warrior princess type, or at least one who is more likely to take an active part in military strategy than simply sitting around looking pretty. Possibly visiting Orlandis to negotiate military aid or something along those lines? Maybe... And the cold war stuff sounds like it'd provide ample plot hooks too. I might end up making her be planning a military coup to seize the crown from her parent(s), but not entirely sure about that one right now. But that gives me plenty to work with, at least. Thank you. b^_^d ...I'll think more about this when it's not almost 04:00, though. ^^;
