Fuck it, humans it is.

Nation: The Kingdom of Antari
Represented Color: Yellow
Race: Human
Capital: Pachacamac
Ruler: Amari Asto
Type of Government: Absolute Monarchy
Religion: The people of Antari have worshiped the Sun for many hundreds of years it is in their culture , tradition and way of life to worship the one that gives them light, he asked only for worship , sacrifices and to follow the rules that he had communicated to the priests. Most sacrifices often involve burning the sacrifice and there has never been a human sacrifice for the Sun as it was never required by it.The role of priests is often given by the Supreme Priest a position considered foreign to politics but that sometimes intertwines by greed and ambition.

Geographical Location:


History:

The kingdom of Antari comes from a continent far away unknown to many , the lands of said continent are dominated by very powerful empires of men , the landscape may look inhospitable at first because of the many mountain chains that are found within it , but when one gets inside the continent one can find many green valleys and cities which would seen to defy gravity , as it's designs are very daring to nature, after all not many make cities near mountains and that look like a staircase. The people work in commune and serve their kings in commune , there is a heirarchy and social classes , but they are not static as there have been many cases of peasants that because of their skill had been ascended by their lords to the lower nobility.

But Amari Asto is the one that has decided to leave the continent , in search for a place to carve a kingdom of his own , as the third son of one of the emperors, he knew that he would never get to sit on the throne of his father and so inspired by tales of men that explored the world and his own curiosity and ambition , he asked for his father to support him in the exploration and colonization of new lands , his father accepted as a way to show him his love but his brothers saw as a way to get rid of him , as it has been common "tradition" between brothers to kill eachother for the throne something that Amari Asto didn't want to participate in.

It took him to prepare for the voyage three entire years , as he had to gather people and resources for it, but finally the time came and he set sail towards unknown waters, sadly and like many other stories , a storm hit Amari's fleet sinking several small vessels, thankfully they were saved by a nearby island that would lead them to a new continent, however , by the time they landed the ships were useless and a lot of the cargo was lost. The only things they were able to retrieve from the ships besides the wood was some fancy clothes , some tools and the personal banner of Amari Asto.

Morale was low but in a moment of inspiration Amari Asto gave a speech to his people and how they would make their own kingdom a new kingdom which name would be Antari in honor to one of legendary emperors that started Amari's civilization back at home.

@Murtox Seems good to me, bro.

[Willy Vereb]

Also you asked about firearms. No firearms available, I'm afraid. The closest we have to a musket would be an arbalest or crossbow.

@Chenzor

Musket is quite a sophisticated firearm compared to what I had in mind. Think of handcannons, only little more than simple metal tubes. And simple rockets. These technologies seem to be around 12th century, way less advanced than arbalest and other steel-string heavy crossbows.
I can detail it more but don't wish to derail the thread. I have 3-4 RPs already thus I an't guarantee my activity on a consistent basis. Hence I made way for other players.
I wish everyone luck!

@Lady Selune

Aye, entirely optional. All you need to start is basicly "I choose this." in the IC thread. Unless it's a custom-race not listed.

[Lady Selune]

Totally-not-Rome has entered the playing field.

[Kangutso]

<Snipped quote by LordZell>
Go for it dude. Sounds good to me!

@Murtox & @Willy Vereb to avoid last version's insane stress of writing posts I'm not going to have as big of a group, so if you two join I'm closing it. Which means you'll have to make up your mind! Also welcome back! :D

Edit: Lol, "1 or 2 more players" I said. Here we are with like 8 people pending.

@Chenzor

Oh, so this is closed now?

[Chenzor]

@Lady Selune I liked it. Despite being totally not Rome ;)
@Kangutso I'm still waiting for a few players to post, but as soon as they do we'll be 8 participants (not including myself) and any more than that and I'll probably not be able to cope. So unfortunately... Yes, we're closed. Do you want me to add you to the "holding" list, and let you know if a slot opens up?

@Chenzor

I knew I should have stated interest last night...

That would be nice, yes.

[Chenzor]

@Kangutso Gotcha buddy. Sorry I had to turn you down :V You're free to stick around!

[Polybius]

@LordZell Could you pick another color ? My Lothelonni elves are lightgreen.

[LordZell]

Already did

[Kangutso]

@Kangutso Gotcha buddy. Sorry I had to turn you down :V You're free to stick around!

@Chenzor

Well, as long as you're offering...

Just not sure what there is for me to chat about here without being part of the IC.

[Chenzor]

@Kangutso Guess you're right. I was sorta thinking "sticking around" as in stalking us from the shadows :)))

Btw I'm waiting for Pirate to post, then turn 1 will start. Haresus will just have to catch up if he doesn't post in time. In the meantime, I updated the map in the OP in the OOC with not only the new civs but with some new terrain like swamplands east of Dagshall and some rivers in the eastern section of the map.

[Chairman Stein]

I have no orcish brethren on the continent! Oh well, MORE HUMIE SKULLS FOR ME

also more spikes

[Lady Selune]

Well, the great not-Roman empire'll have lots of room to expand, thst's for sure. Can I just like, spam settlers??

Oh, and what's with the huge goddamn mountain to the north west? Anything special about it?

[Kangutso]

T_T

The place I was going to settle has rivers now... Curse you hesitation!

Aw well, back to stalking from the shadows.

[Pirate]

Sorry for taking so long!
