I was planning on posting today, but I had a rough day at work. Hopefully I'll post something later tonight; if not, tomorrow for sure. It'll be from a very different area and point of view to give Titanic more time to finish his nation sheet, and introduce some of the darker aspects of Ordov.
Not to mention that those lakes and rivers would be teeming with fish. Personally, I think he should have a population of 3-4 million, so we can have another super power (Unrelated to the Ordovin) on the map.
Yeah, I was hoping that the map in the OP would be updated, with the names of all the nations for easy reference.

Also, Snow, what happened to your NS?
*slow clap*

Awesome. From reading your history and religion, I'm now imagining that the Tausar'Luysi first got the idea for the Path of Enlightenment from wandering Lumen missionaries or sailors, and because of distance and the language barrier, its become warped and simplified over the past few decades or so. Was this intended at all? Our state religions are very similar.

Since your religion part of the NS isnt specific on the Old Way, I'm going to form it into a more specific religion


" the Old Way, honoring the fey spirits of earth, stone, spring and leaf. They make sacrifices to the Horned Lord and the Lady of the Water and Wind and throw great festivals to celebrate their power. "

Pretty vague, but still something to go on.
Titanic, I'd appreciate if you could finish your nation sheet today or tomorrow. I don't want to post in the IC against until you've finished or moved, because I don't want either of us to have to retconn anything.
Yes, Ordovin and most of the names I've used so far are a mixture of Russian, Greek, and Armenian, mostly Armenian.

The Dominion of Ordov is a nationalized dictator state of a much larger cultural region (That entire valley and the nearby foothills to the north and south, and the north and western shores of the great lake). Previously, it was a confederation of tribal kingdoms before a general slaughtered all the royal families save for one child, who he placed on the throne. This was four years ago, and also took place during a massive invasion of organized, slightly-more technologically advanced goblinoids called the Vydari. The Vydari were defeated and the Dominion rose to power.

Outside the Dominion, dozens of clans and several tribal kingdoms remain independent of the Tia'Gevor (High King). Notable rebels include the reputable Taelyc del'Faylos. He controls a large realm to the northwest of me, mostly on the coast and in the mountains. Since he grants himself the royal del', he is basically snubbing the court of the Dominion, and he's raising a large army. And he controls several silver, iron, and salt mines, and we can't have those out of Dominion hands, now can we?

Occupying the eastern side of the Ord'Hyryyn (Vale of Ordov) are three other Ordovin realms; Geir (Geirlish), which prides itself on the breeding of horses, Russk (Russkl), aggressive warriors and skilled foresters, and Starig (Starigov), who control the headwaters coming out of the Mournskull Mountains (The range north of the big lake). These lands combined are (Theoretically) half the population of the Dominion and less well-armed and organized, but I guess that's ultimately your decision. If you take that region as yours, you'll probably also end up being some High King who united them.

I'm sorry that that summary ended up being pretty long, but I've already posted like 30 paragraphs in the IC, and my application also took a lot of work. I'd prefer that you read them so you can get a better idea of the history, lore, and political situation, especially if you're going to be literally right next to me.
Well that, and I've already described in two IC posts the names of the lands to the east of me, my relations to them, and the possibility of invading them.

Or you being the accepted player he'll need to bend to you a bit.


Huh, didn't think of it that way. We'll see if he reads my NS and IC posts and decides to go for it, then.
Unless Titantic is very open-minded, I may have to do some name-changing. xD
