Once we all get exploring, I'm hoping for an effort to spread it internationally.

I'm planning on it :p

I'm curious, if I don't pitch a second trait before the game starts do I lose that opportunity? If I wanted to hold off and see in which my nation develops first, is that kosher?On a far cooler note, Sarkor looks mental. I can definitely see a Lycanthrope getting tired of chasing a High Elf so she shifts and takes off on all fours. Even better, a Black Orc can't be arsed to take the ball from a Coastborn so he just picks he and the ball up together xP Sounds like those posts'll be fun to read. Besides, every national league needs sponsors $u$

If you don't have one approved by the time the IC goes up, you lose the opportunity yes.

[Kadaeux]

@Dyaus: Sorry mate, but recruiting has been closed for a short while now. (Also the history wouldn't be possible anyway, nobody has recorded history older than about 5 centuries. Before that the Cataclysm destroyed all that was know.

Well damn, might as well make an official declaration of the implied then.

Custom Trait 2: You Dirty Rat! - The Crossroads value two things above all else: Gold and Secrecy. It serves to reason then in pursuit of the former they'd excel at the latter. When bribing locals and immigrants just isn't enough, the Crossroads' own espionage agents are sent in. Small in stature and nimble by trade, Murioanthrope Spies to Kender Thieves, Trained Assassins to Guardians of Knowledge, few within the Crossroad's ranks 'hide in plain sight'.

[Gat]

Work In progress still and its mostly fluff details missing, like the name and various histories... and army, the rest is there.

Custom Traits
"Diversified Palette"
The Shadow of Perdition has ghouls with a little more sophisticated palette, thanks to history, a lot of snobbery at food tasting competitions and a desire to avoid starving to death, these ghouls learned to subsist on pretty much any race of similar size to their own, not just humans, elves and dwarves. Indeed the common ghouls have even learned to live on fresh meat, well rotted meat is usually reserved for special occasions and the wealthy.

“Breeding Program”
While most nations will breed cows or horses, Ghouls of The Shadow of Perdition have been breeding their tribes men for countless centuries, the best developed males are singled out for use in the military and as studs while the rest go to the slaughterhouses and from there to the ghouls dinner plates. The womenfolk are typically retained until they reach breeding age and so long as they prove fertile remain in that position, some however do find their way into the military as well but this is somewhat rare.

Custom Flaw
“My food is talking to me?!”
The Ghouls of The Shadow of Perdition don't see most races as they see themselves, indeed most other races look like little more than a walking buffet to the Ghouls of The Shadow of Perdition. Not playing with your food is something most mothers teach their children this is no different in The Shadow of Perdition, so many Ghouls dislike it when their food speaks to them, the general exception being those races that are not on the menu and the tribesmen that serve in the military.

[Zran]

Been smashed with work last three days sorry guys, back now two days off.

[Vakte]

Not good.enough Zran, life has no sway with da nations :p

[GreivousKhan]

That reminds me.

Does the Continent have a name? Or the world/planet we live on?

[Gat]

Yes Khan, of course it does... just don't ask what that name is....

[GreivousKhan]

That's what I'm asking though. =0

We could always vote on names I suppose. :K

[The Nexerus]

Why does there need to be a universal name for the world?

[WittyReference]

The Nexerus said

Damn. This is going to sound dumb, but I've never considered in any RP that different cultures might have different names for their world; just always a common name in the most popular language.

That makes an amount of sense in nation roleplays with interconnected, fully explored worlds, but when this starts off we won't even know that other nations exist. It'd be silly for there to be a common name.

[Kadaeux]

@Gat + Brovo: You're on probational acceptance (Meaning i've added your nations to the map so that a beginning can be made, but you've got time to finish your nations.)

@Nex: Accepted, though it will undergo a more in-depth review when Sarz gets to it
@Greengiant: Accepted pending the same ;)

I'm guessing by vote you mean have a massive war and the victor gets to name the world?

Thought this was the plan anyway lol.

I have crawled onto that dice rolling site and into the chat. Same username as here.

Wow, found two songs that would fit my deity nicely, im quite torn between them:

Salva Nos

I sing of a Maiden

[WittyReference]

I like the first one so for your church I'd say the second ;p

Vakte said

True.

But it was never meant to be about the name of the world.
