One thousand years ago, the army of the King Elak of Kandeland fought against the sugary forces of the chaos wizard Esorcus, and one thousand years ago, the army of Kandeland lost. In the smoldering remains of the old capital, Esorcus used his chaos magic to reform the very fabric of his new kingdom's laws of physics and natural world, before disappearing into the night as if the punchline to some cruel, final joke. Denizens of Esorcus's abandoned Candyland came in two forms; those who found themselves turned into candied abominations as penance for fighting for the armies of men, or the purely candy children of Esorcus -- The Gingerbread Men, The Marshmallow Harpies, The Gumfolk, and the many other candypeople, all abandoned by Esorcus.

This is, of course, all the speculation of historians, clergymen, and scholars. The oldest written recordings in caves of the Ice Cream Bay indicate a sea made just as much from root beer as it is now. Ancient tax records of the Chocolate Coin Bank all plainly state conversions from Chocolate Coin to Gummy Dollar. The Candycane Forest has trees with so many swirls that they cannot logically be less than several thousand years old. Nobody knows For as long as anyone can remember, the world has been made out of candy. Whatever came before it is unimportant and not worth asking too many questions about. The point of this roleplay is not for me to convince you the logical steps on how this became a world made out of candy, it is for us all to collectively challenge ourselves to write emotionally gripping tales and characters in a world made out of candy.

The Kingdoms (So far)

The Gummy Kingdom is the largest of the four major kingdoms, with geography supporting life for soft, chewy candies, which make up the widest category of candies. Because it has a surplus of arable farmland, Gummy Kingdom has the most stable economy, highest population, and lowest number of Candybeasts.

The Cookie Kingdom is the second largest of the four major kingdoms, with geography supporting life for cookies and cake-based humanoids. Because they have the most mountainous region, Cookie Kingdom has more developed masonry and architecture. They are currently ruled by the Gingerbread Men. @Sloth

The Ice Cream Kingdom is the second smallest of the four major kingdoms, with geography supporting life for frozen candies. Because it has uncontested access to the Ice Cream Bay in the north and a majority of the control over the soda sea in the West, they have become a naval people predominantly. They are currently ruled by the Popsicle Peoples. @Deadbeatwalking

The Sour Kingdom is the smallest of the four major kingdoms, with a dry geography spanning from the Sorbet Desert in the north to the Sugar Sands in the south. Because they control the East, they are generally left alone. They are known for their skills in candybeast husbandry. @Mara

Sheet

Nation Name

Nation Overview

A description of your nation's peoples, physiology, culture, and so on. Keep in mind that the four kingdoms -- Gummy, Ice Cream, Cookie, and Sour -- have many nations. They're more like categories everybody falls into than nations themselves.

Geography

Tell us what the landscape is like where you're from. Are there many Candybeasts or few? Include notable locations such as the capital.

Military

A description of your nation's military. The most fun but least important section, as exact numbers and powerful hidden weapons are to be defeated by strategy and good writing.

Prominent Figures

For the sake of convenience, all Kingdom rulers style themselves as "King". The rest of the nations and fiefdoms don't necessarily. Include your royal family, elder council, or generally, the POV characters you'll be using.

Ice Cream Men WIP

"I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream"

The Ice Cream Men

Nation Overview

The Ice Cream Men are the inhabitants of Ice Cream Bay in Candyland's far north. They live primarily in squat, scoop-shaped igloos, while wealthier citizens such as portmasters and merchants live in larger homes with assortments of ornamental toppings. They are the sole fishermen of the Float Sea, though they frequently sail westward through the soda sea during the winter months when the icecream bergs are too tightly-packed to go on long sailing expeditions through the Float Sea. The Ice Cream Men maintain longstanding tensions between themselves and the Cookie Kingdom over the much-disputed Icecream Cake Quarries on the kingdom's southeast border, leading the Ice Cream Men to avoid the Milk Sea in the East for the most part.

Their exports are primarily Swedish Fish, Gummy Sharkskin Goods, Distilled Winegum Trout Extract, Saltwater Taffy, and Candied Seaweed. Occasionally, an Ice Cream Sailor will catch a rare Bean Paste Carp or a nutrient-rich Gusherwhale and make a large profit. Landowning low lords such as this are common in the Ice Cream Kingdom, and are commonly derisively known as "Tootsie Kings" in reference to their oft short-lived rulership of lands. The expression has been banned by King Pop -- under penalty of death -- whose father came to rule the Ice Cream Kingdom after using an overnight fortune made selling a giant pearl to conscript an army of sellswords to assist his usurpation of the then-ruling House of Cone.

Geography

The Ice Cream Bay is the northermost region of Candyland. It is cold and harsh, with a daily ice cream snowfall of an inch or so.
North of Ice Cream Bay is the Float Sea, a seemingly endless, bitterly cold ocean of root beer and ice cream, where rare sea creatures dwell. The Float Sea becomes the Milk Sea as it goes Southeast and the Soda Sea as it flows Southwest, which creates a mix of cold and warm winds that give the Ice Cream Bay their frequent Snowcone Storms. Cotton Candy Yaks, Peppermint Walruses, and Winter Chocolate Hares make up the majority of the Ice Cream Bay's wildlife, though creatures from their southern borders occasionally meander upward in search of food.

Military

The National Credo of the Ice Cream Kingdom, I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream, are in reference to the historic camaraderie of the Ice Cream Army, even under seemingly insurmountable odds. It is for this reason that the Ice Cream Army is less organized than those of neighboring kingdoms. Because the foul weather of the Ice Cream Kingdom makes it difficult to invade, the unorganized, barbaric nature of the Ice Cream Army has worked well for them so far -- when each of their soldiers fancies themselves a seafaring berzerker, it is easier to break opposing morale overnight than with any number of intimidating banners, well-organized phalanxes, or war drum compositions. Part of this cultural encouragement in unnecessary barbarism stems from the widespread belief of the Fourth Flavor, the golden precursor to the Neapolitan Triumverate, which is only made available to Ice Cream Men who die in battle.

CHOCOLATE THEOCRACY FORM

THE CHOCOLATE THEOCRACY

Nation Overview

The Chocolate Theocracy is a place full of mostly chocolate Variety people. Almost all are deeply religious and have a deep connection to masonry and such. They also have great pride and extensive tradition. This is due to their ancestors who they descend from, "The Chocan Empire". They live in great chocolate wall cities and have extensive infrastructure like chocloducts. It has many places of learning and also holds the current home of the clergy of candyland's primary religion. There are 5 types of chocolates in the land in terms of class
The light brown class which is usually the peasants. The middle class of regular brown that make up the majority of the population. The Upper class Dark chocolates who make up the aristocracy. The puppet monarchies surrounding the Chocolate Theocracy that are placed by its religious leader, "The Dulcis". Finally, you have the white chocolate which are the clergy. They Primarily focus on making sure the dominion of candydom is safe from heretics and infidels who seek to taint its purity and faith. In the event a heretical nation has done a action against the candies, the Dulcis may call for a crusade. They mainly influence the politics of their brethern who share the same religion and don't associate frequently, if at all, with those of other beliefs. They view the milk sea and lands connected to it as their heritage from back in the old days of their empire in terms of nationality, but for now, the religion takes priority. They primarily export various items of knowledge such as books and scrolls, teachers such as priests and philosophers, creative people like artists and painters. However, they also sell vast amounts of materials coming out of the chocolate factories. For while some kingdoms may have chocolate ore in their land, None will have it as plentyful or as pure as the chocolate Theocracy. They have been in power for thousands of years, from the times of the Choca Empire to now.

Geography

The chocolate lands have a low amount of wild candy beasts, but the ones that are there are known to be incredibly deadly, such as the Great Candy Wolves and the chocolate bears. However, their tamed candy beasts are quite the opposite. For example, The Chocolate Bunny, is a fast and rabid beat mounted by chocolate warriors, Or the Truffles, which can hull large amounts of heavy cargo from one place to another over any amount of time. The land is filled with mountains around its borders that are mined for rich and plentiful chocolate ore, which act as a natural barrier. However, once you go past that you find the lush and fertile land that feeds the chocolate cities' massive populations. At the sea, They have a plentiful amount of beasts in the milk sea that they hunt to eat as well. It is a great climate, one that feels like a perpetual spring breeze for them.

Military

The Chocolate Theocracy has many sayings and lessons in its military. Too many to count. So we shall skip to the 3 important bits. Their masonry allows them to build the most durable of cities and they also have excellent crafting ability which allows them to create strong and sturdy gear. However, this costs them numbers they could have. Their ships are strong and powerful, but few compared to some other nations such as the raiders to the north. They do not need to much of a navy either, as the milk sea is firmly in their grasp and those of the same belief as them. The Land army is where they really shine. There are 5 qualities of chocolate in the military, first is light brown which is common even for the peasants to have, that is not to say that its pitifully weak. Next is regular brown quality chocolate ore. It is a sign of the middle class of the same color. Armies with this equipment are usually the average and are bale to hold their own, beat, or fend off other enemy armies. After which is the Dark Chocolate nobility, they have the higher quality items for their use that gives them a better edge against regular armies. After that you have the White chocolate, Usually members of the clergy who come to heal the wounded or paladins to purge the infidels, they without a doubt have the highest quality. The colors do not simply represent the the quality of the weapons they use, but also of the army itself. Light brown weapons will have light brown peasants carrying them, as such they are most likely untrained and peasant miltia. Dark brown would signify aristocracy with disciplined army and excellent gear. The military of the Theocracy is strong and large due to the need to protect candydom from heretics. It is highly organized and while is mainly organised based on class, it is possible to grow in rank and ascend in color through merit. This is rare, except in the fabled Pitch Black Chocolate Inquisition, which protects candydom from internal threats such as heresy. Their black color and gear means they surpass all other ranks with a devotion, skill, and gear of legends.
