Alright then. I'll probably get a sheet up tomorrow.
Arguing with myself between establishing dark elf mongols or turk orcs. This is going to be fun.
Go with the Orcs, we already have a darker elf nation coming.

Making a list of realms to topple with my invincible million-pixie swarm.... Prepare your anus...es.
Well, they won't make it far into Ma' Hurcazak. Ma' Hurcazak is mostly a mountainous area. And, your pixie seems incapable of living in such lands. I might just become a safe haven for people trying to escape the swarm.

Hmmm.... this seems like an interesting concept. I will get a sheet ready tomorrow, either something Mughal or Scythian inspired

Yeah, your country is one of the few that's exclusively in the grey area of the pixies' range. The map on my sheet shows all the places they can and can't go because of terrain restrictions and whatever. Which is basically all of the northern countries and the ones that are in mountain passes.

I feel like the order should use pixie cannon fodder and advocate for pixie rights.

Pixie rights? This is unheard of in Ma' Hurcazak. Then again, I doubt my nation truly knows much about the pixies. All they know is that they seem to be prevalent further south. Anyway, working on my realm's history right now. I just realized that there are likely to be three dynasties in the history of Ma' Hurcazak. Then again, the third dynasty(Aegmon dynasty) ended with a revolution and probably isn't going to be as long as the other dynasties.

Harnians have a high presence in Dawnstars lands as well, and as giant half bull men they don't shy away from "accidently" squashing and eating things that buzz.

Right, I will be updating the map to show peoples claims... And continue looking over peoples sheets, However.
#1: Giant person: Your sheet is looking good except one problem. It is unlikely that there would be Tundra in the south, considering the south is considerably hotter than the north. The only way I can see this happening with a justified reason is either the Darkness' corruption has screwed with the surrounding weather, or some extremely high concentration of environmental magic has distorted the temperature on that location specifically.
#2: Dawnstar, I sent you a PM on your NS which includes your GM-determined trait and flaw.

Noted. I will be updating my realm later on tonight. Won't be doing much work tomorrow. Not likely to finish the history of the second dynasty either but it is the longest dynasty so it might take a while. After I finish that, I will move on to finishing up the sheet.
Finished the second dynasty and begun the third dynasty. I will try and finish up the dynasties tomorrow after I have at least gotten some sleep,

Tundra Giants just died out, stupid extinction event. Now there is only rats.
-Realm name: 19th Clan
'''We are no pissing rats! We are no weaklings that lay on our backs and let others trample over us. We are the 19th and final clan of proudest rats since the 1th Clan to ever wander!''
Mierak Rat-Queen
-Flag/Banner:
NATIONAL
-Capital: Firewroth
-Government Type: Unstable Despotism (Minior Kingdom)
-Currency: Small clay or wood disk, called ''G'a'' and ''B'a'' respectably
-Population: 2 Million
-Realm Size: 17

-Unique Flaw #2 (Created by me, mostly to reduce min-maxing)
GEOGRAPHICAL
-World-Realm Map:
-Major Cities:
Firewroth: The capital of the 19th tribe used to be a old human settlement from the looks of it. Its clearly not Ratmen architecture since that tends to be alot smaller. The walls looks old and dated from the outside, but never the less can withstand abit of pounding. There is also several tunnel exists inside the walls of the city, where rats can come from the other parts of this far-flung kingdom, to engage in trade. Since this is also a central hub, its quite rich by Clan standards and houses the main armoury.
Zzzeaak: Impossible to spell or say (not even the Clansrats have united on what to call it) Zzeeaak is a small and shoddy looking town, with small houses made of rock and ugly looking wood. This place however, holds quite a bit of importance to the Clan, it has been for as long as any member can remember, a traditional breeding ground. Hence most who live are males breeders, massive bags of fat and meat with little to no intelligence, witch the Rat-females often uses to get pregnant.
-Major Castles:
Olds End: Another stolen settlement, Olds End used to belong to some sort of race of Giants, since the walls are high, tall and made of sturdy stone. This race bones still lay around buried just below the settlement. But whoever use to rule it, now its Clan's land. Its here where most Warriors are trained, armed and sent out to fight for the glory of the Last Clan. This place also procedures the sliver powder used both as a combat drug called ''Sliver'' from the bones down in the earth.
-Buildings of Interest:
-Geographic Features of Interest: Several long tunnels exist under the several swamps witch makes up the Clans territory. This allows the underground rats to move quickly and keep in contact with each other
RACIAL
-Majority Race: Beastoid(Ratpeople)
-Majority Race Appearance: Members of the 19th clan looks like humanoid rats walking on there two back-legs. They tend to be shorter than the average human but tend to be faster, since they can often drop the ground and sprint with all four appendages firmly on the ground. Since birth, the genders of Clansfolk are split, so every male is raised to be a breeder (and get his tail cut) and every female assumes a active roll in society.
-Majority Race Characteristics: The Clansfolk are notoriously fast to reproduce, often spitting out four to five offspring per impregnation hence there is always alot of rat-folk. Fur colour tends to change where they live, and since most live in swamp it takes on a slightly slickly green colour witch does not make them look peculiarly healthy. Since every clan member worth her hide is a political monster, the 19th clan has gotten a bad rap for being unreliable, often unstable from drug abuse and very readily backstabber. 19th clan members can grow surprising old.
RELIGION & MAGIC
-State Religion: The 19 Clan worships the 1th Clan as race of gods and saviours.
-Religious Information 1th Clan based worship centres around burning things that has value to the burner, hence it can be money, weapons, plants or even political rivals. When the sacrifice has been given, the 1th Clan will acknowledge the Clan members existence and perhaps even raise the members status inside the afterlife.
-Religion Demographics: Because of the political nature of most rats, there are several sub-cults worshipping different clan numbers, even if these tend to be short lived.
-Holy Relics In Possession:
Banner of Lord U'ktak: The first and greatest empress of the Clan, she ruled a kingdom engrossing all of the lands from the north to the south. She was however, killed by her Husband and lover, who's name has been erased by time, known only as ''Traitor''. Her banner however, still hangs in Firewroth, just above the ruling chair of the currently supreme leader
MILITARY
-Total Military Size: 195000 female rats stand under arms and are split in to several regiments or ''Brood''
-Military Details:
Fresh Brood: Unassigned and fresh out of the training yard, most common Clan members soldiers fight in massive block formations, armed with cheap spears and shields. If they survive they are promoted in to another Brood. Most however die, since commanders tend to use these as massive flesh walls to lock the enemy down.
Blood Brood: Drug abuse is common among 19th clan members, and in this regiment its required, since these mad berserker fight always under the effect of ''Sliver'' wtich often causes internal bleeding (hence the name) that later starts pumping out the eyes and mouth, giving a gruesome look. They tend to army themselfs with anything they can get the hands on, again creating a hodgepodge unit with rusty stolen axes, musket broken off to use as spears and so on.
Lighting Brood: The closest thing the clan gets to an elite guard, Lighting Brood is a sworn defender of 19th, with heavy elite armour, and two-handed swords. They tend to draw their members from the best of the Fresh Brood survivors, armed them with real weapons and then advanced training. This creates a solid and elite guard, that tries to be apolitical (it fails obviously).
Razor Brood: Some Clans members have the skills needed to use a brand new weapon called ''The Ratsket'' witch its a clear and obvious musket, only designed somewhat different. It fires a quite a massive bore (round) and is slower the most bullets (hence lesser penetration). The black-power substitute is called ''Golder'' is made from a mix of swamp flower and ''Sliver'' witch together creates quite and explosive powder. Most Razor Brood are more arrogant then most soldiers, and consider themselves elite.
Shadow Brood: An unofficial regiment, this is 19th clans assassins, infamous inside and outside of the Kingdom as skilled and dangerous. However, they are also incredibly greedy and often used as political tool by the rats in power, hence they tend not to field themselves as normal troops. When they do, they are often scouts or quick lightings strike forces.
NATIONAL DRAMATIS PERSONAE
-Head of State/Monarch:
Mierak Rat-Queen: The current ruler of the 19th, Mierak has an iron grip on the throne, and keeps by eliminating any contender that has so far been foolish enough to challenge her.
-Persons of interest:
Ghenna, Mistress of Shadow: A close advisor to the current Queen, Ghenna keeps her own ambitions low to the ground, until time is right. For now however, she keeps a close eye on the Shadow brood
HEROIC DRAMATIS PERSONAE
Armeilia Ambassador and Warrior: Daughter to the current queen, Armeila was born for greatness. Unlike most brood members, she got real training amongst the finest of tutors, warriors and scholars. She however, not live up the ''greatness'' she was promised, instead in a very unclanish way she made herself happy with the ambassador position, using a life of travel and diplomacy over power play and intrigue. She haven't seen her mother in what feels like decades.
Apperance: A large rat (by the standards of the clan) who unlike most clan members, bears a fine robe when abroad, with a long rapier as her side arm. Her fur is well kept and is white with spots of green. She
