This Dark Age of Ours

We've close to 10 nations soon, and we've nearly filled the map, so I'm inclined to close apps once the ones currently finishing up are done. Then we'll move on to playing.

This Dark Age of Ours

Name: Lorea

Location

Description: Following the fall of the old empires, there was a time of confusion and migration across the central plains of the Sunrise Lands. In the land currently known as Lorea were many tribes of elves and humes, which initially warred against each other for control of the region and its resources. As the years stretched on, however, the feuding ultimately settled and the tribes began to intermingle. The Loreans are the descendants of these tribes, united today not only under the rule of their sovereign but also in blood.

Loreans are neither elves or humes, but both, known elsewhere as half-elves. They have inherited some of the longevity of their elven forbears, but resemble humes more in appearance and constitution. They feel kinship with both, but are at the same time alienated because of the historical tension between the races.

Horses are central to the lives of the Loreans. They are herders and traders, and sometimes raiders, especially in wartime. They are however not a traditionally aggressive people but have responded harshly to provocations in the past. There is no central faith or religion among the Loreans; rather, they are polytheistic and inclusive in their beliefs. Worship of Aurelia is common in the east, while reverence for Mana and Luna are widespread in the west.

@Willy Vereb They're welcome. We have elves, kobolds and centaurs already.

@The Nexerus Also, where are you looking to set up shop? I'm about to start working on a nation, but I kind of want you guys to have first picks before I go.

This Dark Age of Ours

@The Nexerus Sure, go ahead with the server.

Regarding the setting: there were once sereval empires stretching the Sunrise Lands (and beyond). These aren't defined, mainly because I want you to have creative freedom.

@Inkarnate That's a good question. I have never used discord for guild purposes before. Would you recommend it?

This Dark Age of Ours

@neogreggory It's fine as it is. You can explore it further in the IC. Accepted.

@rush99999 I like it. Totally accepted.

This Dark Age of Ours

@Inkarnate I'm sure they'll do their best.

This Dark Age of Ours

@Inkarnate I think we'll make do. I will submit a nation shortly, and with the current interest gathered we should cover most of the map. Even if we don't, we'll just consider the unoccupied zones as unclaimed barbarian land.
