@Lauder cool, FRIENDSHIP! \o/

If nothing else my herds would help keep the monster population down.

Now I just need to find out if Tail allows access for my nomads.

Just fine, they operate the nearly the same way except they are beginning to cultivate the land and establish permanent settlements. In fact, the clans are permanently settled in one area with huts built, they just don't have too many things in the way of farms.

@Lauder

Makes sense, I assume you have humans? My race are pretty much made up entirely of Centaurs, what do you think of the two coexisting in the same territory now and again. As I imagine my herds probably migrate to your region now and again on the hunt for game or a oasis.

@Lauder Oh I just noticed you live on the same peninsula as my tribes do.

How do you think your nation would get along with the hunter-gather, sometimes raiding, nomadic federation that are the Eloians?

So @Talis as my other neighbour we need/should hash out relations?

A Gilded Throne- The Shadow Looms (Recruiting)

Okay, can I have this spot instead?

@The Spectre

The spot south of the heartlands? That spot is Cel's actually sorry, the map has not been updated in quite a bit....

The other beige spots are open however.

Fabula Elysia - Medieval Fantasy Nationgame

Excellent.

Possible that the exact details have been lost to history as well.

@GreivousKhanMight we combine the reasons? Perhaps the Eloians inadvertently insulted the Thangors in a misunderstanding, and one by one my people conquered the glades to both gain resources and deprive the Eloians of them?

@POOHEAD189

I can see that happening, heck we could even have it the other way in the Thangors unknowingly insulted the Eloians after joking about riding one. Goldeagle's brand of comedy is probably wearing off on me. But yes, the insult could have easily sparked the start of the dispute, with skirmishes slowly snowballing the scope of the problem until it became a full-scale conflict. How does that sound?

Eventually forcing the Eloians into the desert, would mark the end of the war. A century would go by with the Eloians holding onto the grudge to some extent and probably seasonally raiding into the glades now and again. Which will shape them excellently and gives me a great number of ideas of how to structure them. This has been very helpful thank you.

@GreivousKhanHmmm...that could be something we can do. My people pride themselves on being warriors, but they are not without virtue. "A fell man of good deeds" is the motto/compliment an older man says to a younger when they come of age. I suppose it could be like Rohan and the wild men in LOTR. I'd agree with my people having driven them out after a war, but having them maliciously conquer (or conquer without good reason) is something I cannot see them doing, unless an Eloian insulted a high ranking Thangor (my country will be Thangoradrim) and it led to a war where the centaur-like people were eventually driven out.

@POOHEAD189

Well, I was seeing if you were open to the idea, as for the reason that is the next step. Such early conflicts would happen fairly easily, wars have been started for less than an insult Irl. However, I was thinking of the glades they inhabited was what they primarily fought over. Each would invariably be fighting for the betterment of their own people in that case.

Hmmm...they would probably have had border disputes since my land is lush with rivers, forests, and foothills. Though I feel like there'd be a split in my people. Some seeing the Eloians as good killing practice and fodder (but formidable) enemies and others having respect for their prowess as people.

@POOHEAD189

What do you think of having it that it was your people who historically drove them out of the forests countless generations ago?

Fabula Elysia - Medieval Fantasy Nationgame

I apologize for the confusion. I was discussing taking the mountain ranges, but I never did relinquish my initial forest land claim in the first page of the thread. I decided to just keep it.
@Willy Vereb
Sure^^. I have a bit of time before bed. I'm thinking of making my country into a fatalistic anglo saxon forest people with a big emphasis on honor and clan duty, with both the Dragon and Wolf as their sigil. I take it you're in the desert?
@GreivousKhan

@POOHEAD189

Yes indeed, I plan on making a semi-nomadic realm made up of various tribes recently united. They're a centaur-like race called Eloians (basically centaurs) they shy from dealing with most other races beyond necessary trade. More recently, however, they have become more warlike and have started to raid neighboring regions more often. Probably due to a drought in their major migrating region. So possibly a harbinger to a forced migration gothic style depending on how things go.

My question is what possible interactions our people might have had, if any, previously. Which should shape how we move forward IC.
