So anyone interested in a somewhat casual nation story but with some effort on story building and writing.
The warring states era.
In the known world there are three ancient nations. One fallen from power and glory, now but a remnant of its past. Turned into squabbling small states locked in conflict for generations.
The other two suddenly finding themselves rising to a dominant state in the vacuum of the fallen but locked equal. Ensuring a long time of peace. Though friction slowly deteriorate it as bloodlines, politics and economics bound between these three powerhouses grind and break the status quo.
Rivalling states bound to each nation for support by old ties or new deals. Marriage to create peace turns into conflict when death opens a path to power through said marriage. Outside parties meddling into the conflict for personal gains. And distant strangers prowling the borders or the known world to take of the bountiful resources available.
All while in the ruins of a small and forgotten nation a shadow stirs, roused by the conflicts and meddling into old forbidden knowledge.
In the midsts of this other smaller nations (you) rise and form. Unifying clans, free colonies or settlers seeking a new beginning.
For almost 60 years peace has ruled all but the fallen Empire.
Quick info about how this will play out.
You as the player can create a nation and there will be preset bordered areas you can choose from around the two dominant nations.
Each spot will have a few advantages and a few disadvantages (threats or natural problems limiting self sufficiency) following by default. Does not matter how strong you try to make your nation, the disadvantages will just be made stronger to force you to seek political aid and support. A created nation can be up to about 2-300 years old as an established known nation, history can be older.
Technological limits will be similar to 1300's but with magical enhancement rivalling 15-1600 medieval time or even more modern. For a price of course.
There is a story and plot developing in the world as we play. You can of course build and shape your own ones between nations. Just don't forget the other ones. When certain events take place and you have not paid attention to prepare for it you could watch your little precious nation fall into ruin quickly. Annihilation is a possibility in this story.
Pacing will be about four posts is one year or depending on meetings and negotiations. Things will take time to do in this world we do not have teleportation or instant travel. Magical versions of these will be high value and hard to come by things.
the goal is to have about 6 ish people in this 8 total with me and Windstormugly.
Now about the big trouble makers here is short info about them.
The three Ancient nations
NPC - Fallen Empire about 1000 years old - The Empire of the Iron flag. Used to be the dominant faction in the known world spreading it's influence and starting colonies in distant lands. Unrivalled in Military and trade. Now called the warring states.
Windstormugly - Ferlaneia 6-700 years old - A land solidified by it's natural mountain borders and great deposits of minerals.
Silvir - Sierra 3-400 years old - The green kingdom grown from conquest and unification around it's bountiful natural riches of food and livestock.
While there are ancient nations there are also lands no one willingly walks.
To the East the Territory of the nine clans a fierce warrior people that cares little for the outside world unless it threatens their own.
And to the north a small ruined nation destroyed by unknown calamities where curses, abominations and the undead walk freely.
Outside threat is distant nations trying to invade and colonize the known world that they consider primitive and barbaric.
