Religion, if any: Officially they beleive in the god Lhun however in reality religion is open and very varied

Backstory/Lore: In the days when freedom was unimaginable and all that ruled the land were chieftains, a small collection of tribes developed systems of voting. Gone were the ways of war and battle to choose your leaders. Despite this their leader, their elected chief often remained the strongest and most warlike, for despite their ability to vote they still needed safety from their neighbours. In time they expanded, often through war but sometimes through peace. Being able to vote on anything that had a major effect on their lives pleased the people and in time they grew to a size where they could stop fearing all their nearby competition and an idealistic man by the name of Kaeli was elected to lead. For the first time a real campaign to be elected was in place. As their old lord grew frail he held feasts and offered the boons of his hunts to matriarchs and patriarchs of differing families. This was the beginning of the current elective system and during his rule he set rules and systems to ensure the elections were fair and that the growing nation would no longer require every man, woman and child to come vote. He saw that they generally voted with the head of their family and that there never really seemed to be a close competition between two people of the same family and began the house voting system, heads of families met together to vote on various laws and policies. This continued for many years until a large civil war occurred.

During the Civil war, in which two families proved more influential then the others and began massive trade efforts to gain nearby support. In the end one side was left all but powerless and the other began cherry picking the families that would benefit from the conflict. Gone were the days of everyone getting a vote and so began the days of rich and powerful families voting on things that would effect everyone else. The Civil war also established the nation as a major trade power with abundant resources.

Military:
16,000 Soldiers (800 of them are Magic Users)
12,000 In the Navy
4,000 in the Army

National Leader and Goals: Illithiadrias Illumitari looks purely to gain land and trade influence

Military Equipment: Im never very good at this...

Spoiler: Equipment shizzle

70% of their Navy is in submersibles. Submersible cruise liners and Submersible military vessels. Most of these military vessels have to surfaces to do anything. While some are equipped with Torpedos most are not. Those equipped with Torpedos will have between 8 and 22 Torpedos. Most vessels are armed with cannons that are sealed when submerged and can begin shelling and baraging the enemy within 45 seconds of surfacing.

These are transports and are used by both the navy and civilian sides to transport people and goods. They are armed with a small number of anti-personnel weapons on the top and are other wise unarmed. They number 115 in the Navy with another 67 Private vessels in use

This is the workhorse of the Navy, cheap and efficient. Their large 'circular saws' do not rotate but are very sharp and strong, making effective weapons for breaching the hull of enemy ships. They have two Anti-Personnel weapons on the deck and a further pair of two barrelled cannons. (All of which can only fire when surfaced) They also have 4 stern Topedo bays and 2 bow bays with a total of 12 torpedos stored. They number 55 in total

Serving as the heavy hitting arm of the navy, the Lumiere class has 3 torpedo bays on the port side, 2 on the bow and stern, for a total of 7 bays. They store 22 Torpedos unless undertaking offensive operations where they will hold up to 37. They have single barrel cannons with a 180' arc of fire on the starboard and port sides. They number only 5.

The pride of their Navy is the Grand Projection. It sits alone as the command station of the fleet. Able to dock with small, 1-3 person submersibles while submerged and armed with four anti-personnel guns and two, two barreled cannons it is not to be ignored in battle. However its true strength lies in the 18 docked 3 man submersibles, each armed with an anti-personnel weapon and able to enter shallows of as little as 4ft depth. (Not while submerged). The Grand Projection is one of a kind.

They do have some surfaced navy ships, most of which are supply and refuelling ships but some are battle worthy. These ships total 12, 4 fuelling vessels, 3 supply ships, 3 floating armouries and 2 armed ships.

When it comes to land they have incredibly inefficient but beautiful land crawlers. There is currently only one of these.

Other: They are an offshoot of the elven race, adapted to survive well underground and traditional homes are sometimes still built this way but for the most part they have begun to live like other more 'conventional' peoples do

Motto:
"Through time we gain wisdom, through wisdom we gain strength, through strength we gain victory, through victory we gain peace, through peace we gain time."

Name:
Principality of Celestia

Magical, Technological, or a Mix of both:
The Principality supports technology and magic use.

Religion, if any:
Velminz. The religion based upon one of the varying races of Amburj, the Valkrel, were goddesses. The religion is also known for events in history to those who remember it, for what happened after Saint Lesu

Population:
30 million.

Demographics:
10% elf,
50% human,
40% Amburj.

History:
The idea behind the Principality of Celestia has existed since the 3rd century, and fully realized within the end of the 4th. There existed a corrupt Monarchy system led by a tyrant named Sir Gallahorn the III. He fed the economy by making his own people and others suffer, and even raiding innocent nearby tribals and populations. Specifically targeting the regions for economic resource, or personal gain. he started construction of a large capital city within the center of Celestia, and named it the Citadel. The Citadel would be surrounded by 15 meter high thick walls, and where he would expand his empire. In the late 1st century, the Empire had finally started colonizing the east, and they killed some of the innocent tribals who lived there. The tyrant then would enslave whoever was left for his personal workforce. within a few years, Sir Gallahorn would of expanded upon the Celestial sea, and invaded multiple islands, feeding his workforce and economy. Over 100 tribes were assimilated. Through the following centuries until the the late 4td century, the Tyrant's family line would continue on.


In the 2nd century, a massive war between two Empires over the sea had commenced. The Elvish Dominion fighting the Celestian Empire. Millions of people fought in the war up until the 4th century, and the Celestian Empire's economy was slowly suffering due to all of the equipment being built. A assimilated-peacefully tribe of humanoids, altered in appearance through years of magic misuse and effects of war, would have sent in a representative of their people to the Celestrian government for continued peace. They would also offer up their best people to aid in war... In the late 3rd century, Lesu Rovandora seemingly died by being nailed to a cross by the Celestrians. It was a major tragedy due to the religious inspiration, helpful insight of construction, and wisdom throughout the years he had given freely to the Imperial people. This eventually led to a rebellion after years of protest and attempts to become independent failed, which led to Sir Gallahorn the VII's gruesome death, and the creation of the knights order. Somewhere between the century a race known as the Valkrel had entered the war, quickly aiding in destroying the Empire's enemy before becoming lost to time. This had also resulted in the end of the same sea war, and the Principality of Celestia was created and remained independent for many years while the Empire fell apart. Somewhere in the 4th century, famine and disease had struck the dying Empire, and all attempts to prevent a massive scale plague had been all but entirely useless. In a mass exodus to the west the now Lord and Savior and old representative of the Amburj people had returned. He led them further west to where the Empire's old borders stood, where they lived in the desert for decades until it was safe to return home again.


In the 8th century, the people believed to be Lesu's descendants were finally fully put in place of leading the people after mass migration back. Expanding rapidly through parts of the celestial sea. And old siege weapons besides a few cannons and ironclads were disassembled for ship construction. It was during this time where the Amburj populace of Celestia, having been long left alone and separated from the rest of Celestia, started governing themselves due to the lack of communication with the rest of Celestia. Their rulers often referring themselves as princesses for ego or superior status. Through a time process through the 9th - 12th centuries, the populace stabilized and could yet again expand. By doing this, they would find self governed provinces from elven populace and Amburj populace. Some remained neutral and would not assimilate back into the nation, others would willing assimilate back. Within the 9th - 11th centuries neutral states/provinces would begin to have infrastructure fully realized within them, allowing trade between Celestia and any willing self-governed states. By the end of the 11th century the nation had started experiencing strange occurrences in their territories. This would begin research based around the water, and Celestia's fascination with water operations. In the 15th century the nation was yet again thrown out of it's element of peace back into another war. This war consisted of a self-governed island based Amburj populace and the Celestian Principality, in which the former party had actively begun their operations by occupying the sea and destroying docked vessels to slow retaliation. This would also be when Natalia Rovandora was born. The war had caused the government to focus upon submerging vehicles, due to construction of surface vessels resulting in destruction or continued damage. To prevent the submerging vessels from being discovered during construction, they were built on land within the capital and then moved to small water ways such as rivers or smaller. They would then be guided to freer waters, and commence raiding of commerce on enemy territory. Over the century, the vessels had a mixed reception and variation in model. While keeping an overall similar design, some were enlarged for superior engines. Most were technology based to test out feasibility of vessels ran by technology, and a few others were powered by early magic-engines nicknamed "Veridian Drivers". These Magical engines fused with technology allowed some benefits of a technological system, such as a direct primary source to feed energy into. The other benefits being from magical sources, such as being useless to enemies that do not understand how to operate them nonetheless start them, and longer times submerged without the need to resurface. The downsides of the design being that the entire submarine had to be "covered" with magical energy to contain the power, and the VD leaked out fed energy within the ships interior. This often caused normal crew members to go insane over time, experience vast side effects and possible death, or mutation that usually led to a painfully slow death.

There would be a single magic user within the vessels with a VD just to power them, in which they would stay near the engine and constantly feed it. This of course led to it's own downsides such as quick exhaustion, however as the century progressed engines had slowly evolved. Of course most of the people capable of working this technology were loyalists to Celestia of the Amburj populace. Due to long exposure, manifesting magics, and constant "live or die" tactics due to a corrupting mind, personnel operating the submersibles actually tend to believe they are vessel they control. They believe to be capable of seeing within the entire vessel's interior along with, albeit horrible, exterior view. Every strain in the hull, every creak, every bend seems so real to them that they feel or believe to feel physical pain or overall annoyance from it. After a month of constant exposure, they tend to appear extremely ill or worst they go rogue. Also due to constant magical use, their minds slowly degraded to causing insanity, or their brains entirely functioning on instinct alone and overall becoming overly aggressive. Every time one of these new vessels were sunk, the opposing forces appeared to gain more people in their navy. Some having claimed after the war, despite possibly being propaganda, that some operators were so magically infused with their vessels, that after the long death of them with no way of revival that the magical forces that did remain could be "gathered" from the vessels. This gathering if successful could then be fused into someone else to give them their memories and sometimes altering their personalities in the process, or the forces capable of being applied to people with adverse health such as coma or mentally. In which the person could even be considered dead in some sense. However such a scenario was extremely lethal if botched. Through giving the body the magical energy or repairing what can be healed, whether they be onboard the vessel and somehow gathered it into them or some other way, they could in a sense be considered "reborn" and the body awake from a otherwise eternal slumber or health defect as the person the energy came from. Thus believing they are the long passed person, having their memories, and sometimes incapable of separating fantasy from reality. Or to a unlucky victim, create multiple personalities and inducing insanity. However it has been stated that even if the person does "fuse" successfully, they do not receive their powers or anything else. It was a extremely difficult process, as the vessel could easily sink out of reach, or the energy having long faded away. It was also claimed that only the most powerful could easily commence a "gathering" and fuse with the energy. The war eventually was won, but at the cost of thousands of naval personnel to achieve it. Since the war was primarily water based unlike previous conflicts, most of the infrastructure had survived.


Current day, one of the two of the bloodline, Emily and Natalia Rovandora, rule the Principality. Emily would be born within the current century, and be treated as a sister to Natalia despite the two being born a century apart. The Principality has been at peace for most of the rest of it's existence, and further interest into the unknown and magic had continued for longer. However Natalia was wise, and declared that while magic may prove helpful to the people, technology should also be prioritized. Occasionally Natalia leaves the safety of her home to visit parts of the Principality, for studying, or exploration. However she always informs her guard and sister if she so would leave for a time. Usually having guards with her if venturing into unknown territory within the hold of Celestia. Natalia renamed the capital city to Kalexia, replacing the original name to the castle surrounding the city/in it itself. Thus the capital is named Kalexia, and the castle within is called the Citadel. While still being quite new, for several years now have the new ground forces replaced the knights as the primary miltiary units. The navy having been well developed for far longer, having long since replaced the wooden ships of the past. And after three years of being terrorized by a deep dwelling creature during fishing operations, and Natalia in person visiting the site, she requested the aid of one of the Amburj in the local town to help lure it out. After many months, the creature was captured. It appeared to be a kind of squid, and was there after used for cargo transportation across the waters owned by Celestia. Also within the 1690s area, Celestia came into contact with the Kingdom of Alacrea. Eventually getting higher relations with them.

Spoiler: Character

Princess Natalia Rovandora. Also known as the Amburj Queen. Natalia believes in making the Principality a super power, and through naval dominance that will be a reality. She cares more for the people, and will do whatever she deems necessary to protect them.

Spoiler: Other

Elves are considered stuck up by even non-imperial standards. The Principality treats elves worse in crimes, however they get fair ground in military service. Humans are the majority population, considering several wars had threatened several races that use to be within Imperial control.

The Amburj are the most unique to the area and Principality. They are essentially a category, filled with several sub-races of the race. The most common Amburj are Albino, some have differing characteristics such as some having natural black hair. Other races pretty much are the same but instead have horns on their head, either two, or one of varying size. Another race that isn't exactly a race as much as it is a category of misfits. In which they appear grey - greyish, and tend to act or appear to be in a sickly state. Some do not even move on their own very much, and tend to require assistance. However this is mostly just out of various factors, one of which that is debatable being laziness as they can move around perfectly fine. All Amburj except special exceptions, have glowing eyes of some sort. They are easily distinguished from one another due to the glow of their eyes. Most of the Amburj races enjoy living close to the water, and can often be noted for trying to conduct experiments of varying degrees on site with it. This is how they had a upper hand during the civil war, in which they are generally a great naval presence. While not all of them share similar interests, such as Princess Natalia, most of them appear to enjoy such a environment. Also due to it being natural to them to be around the water, they tend to be great at various things pertaining to the ocean. Which is also why they survived the civil war for so long after the first deployment of Veridian submarines. Others tend to work in harsher conditions since it effects them less than the normal person, and the rest tend to vary in way of life. Some are quite aggressive, some are quite kind and forgiving, others a mix of both worlds. The Amburj races can also be noted as being one of various races in the Principality that break the law, but not under the normal view. Some are really protective over belongings or who is considered family, others often seek out "husbands" and simply take them away without a second thought, and the rest often commit the most violence against elves. This of course being the only normal crime that is usually in play. However, despite all the shortcomings the Amburj cannot be credited with causing all the problems in the Principality. They are some of the hardest workers in the principality, tend to be more calm under stress, and helped develop how the Principality currently is.

Strangely enough, the Amburj seem to have their own pre-crafted hierarchy. Princesses are usually considered the highest among the natural hierarchy. Usually, this can be determined through various factors. Some races tend to rely upon appearance, while others rely more on several criteria. For the former, Amburj with horns usually are considered immediately superior. Having two horns of course gains them the title of Princess, while another with a singular horn albeit very large could be considered a rival, a equal, or a guard. Other races look for signs such as how one speaks, acts, and handles situations. Others are a mix of both, in which being extremely tall with a singular horn or more equals the title along with the criteria of leadership. However despite the titles being thrown about either for superiority purposes or other, it appears "Celestial Princess", is superior to them all. Natalia is considered to be the Amburj queen, controlling the entirety of the nation how she sees fit. The Amburj are magical in ways, considerable portions of them do have actual magical power while others do not. Some have the ability to make their eye "glow" inert, to look normal among the rest of the populace outside of dense Amburj .

Military Equipment:

Spoiler: Uniforms and infantry gear

Army uniform.

Gasmask.

Mage boots. [Also there is a normal version used by the military overall.]
The runes built within help with stability by making the user capable of being more balanced in flight. It is also used as a form of "Hover" when stationary. These boots were created when the needs of a specialized air corps was needed, but planes of the time were very lousy. They allow a mage to go into flight temporarily, allowing for long range recon or necessary combat or evacuation tasks. they can only go forward, meaning they have to face their body towards the direction they want to go to if they want to go to that direction. Their top speed being at 22 KM/H and a dashing speed of 50 for a minute.

Spoiler: Uniforms and infantry gear 2

Airforce uniform.

Multi-purpose high rank uniform.

Tanker uniform 2.

Naval Uniform.

High ranking naval uniform.

Burj naval uniform. [except the headwear. Which are given to fleet commanders and such of specific Amburj races.]

Spoiler: Knight uniform

Knight uniforms consist of magically enchanted armor for strengthening.

Spoiler: The dragon rifle.

The bullets for these weapons are normal along with the gun, and are in use by the military in small numbers outside the Airforce. The bullets act normally until a mage enchants it. When "activated" it does require a considerable amount of power from a mage depending on skill to place into it to increase it's abilities. Novices would of course be incapable of changing their round's abilities besides some additional kinetic force and at best a grenade sized explosion. however more professional and experienced members, which number in few, can make the explosions bigger and any other enchantment better. It is classified as a "semi-automatic rifle" and has a bigger ammo load than a Grandoff. This weapon can now load in 8 rounds, and ammunition for the weapons have a painted white tip.

Spoiler: Main Infantry Rifle "Grandoff 98"

The Grandoff 98. The number displays how many people had developed it, and the development group identification. The rifle has seen extreme modifications from a simple one shot rifle, to a complex yet still relatively simple bolt action rifle. The weapon uses a stripper clip, and it allows the weapon to be loaded once with five rounds, and the rounds removed from the clip which can then be discarded later. It uses the 7.92×57mm Grandoff cartridge.

Spoiler: Dreadnought

One of two designs of battleships created within Celestia. The CNS Starfield is a heavily armed dreadnought of the Iron heart class that utilizes a new layout of ship design. The CNS Starfield was one of various ship designs that had survived the naval war against the Amburj. These ships with their armament and size led to difficulties in hiding them within the Celestial mainland, and overall keeping them protected from enemy fleets during mass evacuation. They are considerably more armored than previous ships in the nation that were categorized as a Dreadnought. They provided long range bombardment of Amburj islands, and have experienced one battle close up to another Dreadnought. In which this event five Dreadnoughts came into contact with eachother. This battle was known as the battle of Daws, in which two celestial ships were trying to support retaliation attempts and had fought three hostile Dreadnoughts. The CNS Vara and her sister ship the CNS Curka sank the opposing force, but the Curka was sank and the Vara was severely damaged after broadsiding a Burga class Dreadnought. After the war was ended, the Iron Heart class Dreadnought would continue on to serve as a capital ship.

Spoiler: Universal Combat Platform

A warship designed during the UCP program to design ships of destroyers or above classification of ships for varying purpose. These ships vary in use, however the average UCP warship is a ship designed for long range engagements and speed. The main armament consists of 2x 203mm guns in a single turret and 2x 305mm turrets. There are side "bunkers" on both sides of the ship that carries smaller caliber weapons, such weapons are for close engagements against smaller vessels. While the "average" design has since undergone modernization, newer versions carry four heavy AA guns ontop of the bunkers, to aid with anti-air defense. The vessels without AA are primarily used as coastal defense ships.The UCP program started within the end of the 15th century, and still follows some old world naval construction ideas. Most of the ships can fit the classification of destroyer, while the rest fit a category similar to a heavy cruiser.

The CNS Chambers was a ship developed within the early 16th century and adopted later on before the mid century. It was created from reusing a old ocean liner of the same name. The ship is meant to remain at distance, considering it is ran by old machinery and has less armor than modern ships. Most of it's crew are mages, or actual pilots. However the planes capable of launching are not of significant size. At best, the CNS Chambers was developed as a experiment for long range warfare conducted from the safety of out-of-sight concealment. Her life has been considerably long, and the "tests" are to be continued with her until proven impractical or the day she meets her fate.

Motto:
To Defend Our Own

Name:
Allied Republics of Heimarkia

Magical, Technological, or a Mix of both:
Technological

Religion:
Not followed by all of the ARH but a good portion, Varitism is the worship of two deities, the God of Progress, Technis and the Goddess of Defense, Defendeera. It is the belief that by paying tribute to these two figures in the form of worship that the Allied Republics will continue to be blessed with gifts of technology, knowledge and strength in battle against the dark forces of the Realm Beyond the Gate.

Backstory/Lore:
Originally a band of loosely affiliated clans with a basic tribal structure, what are now known as the Heimarkian people started off centuries upon centuries ago, with newest records tracing the oldest of the first original clans to as early back as the late stone age. Having come from Eastern Zoscea and migrated to the large island that they now know as Heia, the clans moved between the mainland of Arret and Heia during one of the planet's earlier ice ages, which formed a land bridge between the two, allowing for the safe passage of the Heimarkian people from one landmass to another, the migration being spurred in the first place due to a great crop failure in Zoscea, forcing the elders of each of the clans to congregate and formulate a plan to move from the continent to Heia in search for a more prosperous land--though upon arriving in Heia they were saddened to see that conditions there weren't much better to the ones they had just fled from. The elders then directing their combined people's to the south of the island, which at the time they saw as another huge landmass just like the one they had left, eventually coming across a bountiful landscape filled with fertile soil and tolerable desert conditions in even the worst parts of it. Naming this sacred and beautiful land Heimarkia, the clans--having already been loosely affiliated and in relative peace and good standing with one another signed the Joining Texts, a now-ancient book declaring the constitution, laws, rights and sovereignty of the now united Allied Republics of Heimarkia, named after a relatively new concept to the Heimarkians of democracy and a republican style sense of leadership, the wise clan elders who were now multiple generations down from the ones that had originally sent their people from Zoscea to Heia already having had an appreciation of teamwork and liberty due to their more open mindset, viewing open-mindedness and a progressive attitude to both ruling and technology as the most vital way for their people to survive.

As such the Heimarkian people, forever trusting in their elders took this up as their new mantra. Adopting the system with relative ease and quickly learning to adapt to it and to make changes wherever necessary, Heimarkian democracy going through multiple phases in its centuries long lifetime before getting to the near-perfected state that it is in today. Upon signing the Joining Texts, Heimarkia went through a millennium long golden age where the arts, drama, liberty and technology flourished and the people along with it. Great cities were constructed and equally great monuments to stand as a true symbol of their glory, the growth of population remained relatively tame and in check despite massive advances in medical technology and the techniques employed due to the more admittedly selfish attitude of many Heimarkians when it came to having large families, most family units only desiring one or two children at most due to the financial and mental strain having a large family put on parents. However it continued to grow a relatively steady rate, never really falling or rising greatly at any one point. Heimarkians expanded throughout all of South Heia and claimed it all as their own, only coming to the point of questioning on who else was out there in the rest of Arret after their own civilization had already been built to such a great extent that their own protection would be ensured if such a foreign encounter ever turned hostile. Which unfortunately for them it did, their first naval scouts having come into contact with a group of roaming pirates, who swiftly engaged the scout party and forced them to retreat back to port, a larger pirate force attacking the port, which is now known as Southway City and pillaging it before a large Heimarkian force could arrive to fight them off. This attack leaving a lasting effect in not just the population but the government as well, putting a more isolationist idea of how to handle the rest of the world into the minds of Heimarkia's greatest and most influential leaders, and so it was to no one's surprise that after sending a sizeable navy fleet to decimate the pirates' own homemade port and the pirates residing there that Heimarkia never had any true contact with the outside world ever again.

And what happened a hundred years after helped in no way whatsoever as this was when the Breach occured, or as it was known back then the Rapture as it was believed by the then still comparatively unadvanced Heimarkians to be an act of the Gods as some kind of punishment. This event effectively ending the golden age of Heimarkia and leading into two centuries worth of constant back and forth fighting between the Heimarkians and the creatures which had flooded into Arret as a result of the Breach. The event itself being the opening of some kind of portal for lack of a better word between two different plains of dimension, one of them being the one that we know, the one that contains Arret and the other being one of unknown size and composition as all exploration teams that have been sent in from the opening of the portal to the present day have never returned. The creatures of the Breach, known among Heimarkians casually as the Dread but with the more official government designation being BBH-00 collectively and with each 'variant' of them having a specific number designated to them, are for lack of a better word the literal spawn of Satan himself, capable of wreaking havoc to entire nations if majorly unopposed, which was the fate of Heimarkia for many, many, many decades. The Great Stalemate beginning not long after the Breach had first ruptured open and this was a two hundred year long period of the overarching Dread War where neither the Heimarkians nor the Dread could make any advances on one another due to equalling strength as the Heimarkians made up for their lack of numbers and physical strength as human beings with technological superiority, technology which the feral and mindless Dread had none of.

But again, as Heimarkian technology progressed at a rapid rate out of necessity, that gap between the overall strength of the Heimarkian military and the Dread as a collective closed more and more, the Heimarkian forces taking the initiative with their newest technology and claiming their most decisive battle since the start of the War in the year 1876 on the Heimarkian calender where a force as small as 800 men wiped out around 2,000 Dread albeit relatively small ones compared to the larger variants, it was a victory nonetheless and ever since that victory which was relatively late into the War, the Dread have been losing although never giving up ever since. Heimarkia although never giving up either as they knew the consequences if they were to, taking into account the fact that if the Dread were to ever leave Heia en-masse that the rest of the world would be put into crisis, though even with the tremendous strain put onto them, the Allied Republics never once faltered in their will to uphold their moral standard and the democracy upon which their nation was built upon. Choosing to stand with their people in freedom rather than against them in oppression. In 1934 of the Heimarkian Calender, the Patterson Device was detonated directly in-front of the Breach, wiping out over 3,400,000 Dread creatures in the process and completely wiping out the surrounding landscape, contaminating it with radiation for the following decades before it eventually subsided. However contrary to the hopes of the Heimarkian leadership, this device, more casually called the A-bomb had failed to destroy the Breach and had merely made the military's job on the ground more difficult due to the radiation it had left. And even though many Dread had died, they were replaced soon with more from the Breach.

And so another solution was thought of, the construction of a great, impenetrable wall around the surrounding area of the Breach, a one hundred mile quarantine zone was set up around the Breach and a wall was put up, the Dread Containment Perimeter stood at around 380 metres tall, almost as tall as Liberty Tower in Southway City and was finished construction in 1960, around thirty years after it had originally began. The DCP effectively ending the threat of Dread expansion from their quarantine zone from that day forward, now maintained by over a million Heimarkian troops at all times the DCP is constantly repaired and reinforced with new materials and building techniques as they come out and with the new inventions of automated military weaponry and unmanned drones, the Heimarkian military is finding it increasingly easy to man and maintain the wall's security without having to put as many Heimarkian troops in danger. However that does not mean that the wall is fullproof, the Dread are still a large threat if left unchecked due to the sheer number of them that come from the Breach on a near daily basis and as such require constant 'attending to' by conventional military forces. However since the creation of the wall, Heimarkia has entered yet another golden age of peace, prosperity, technology, culture and liberty with culture and technology particularly booming with the now more carefree attitude of the Heimarkian people due to the assured safety of their cities and homes, the population growth rate has spiked and technology has gone through the roof in its rate of advancement.

It is now the year 2010 of the Heimarkian Calender and the nation is in preparations for what has now become a national holiday; Containment Day. Where the cause for celebration is the fact that the Dread no longer terrorize the Heimarkian people in their homes but are instead now contained by the Dread Containment Perimeter. In recent decades it has become increasingly commercialized and is now more focused on family get-togethers, Containment Day shopping, money and of course the big family dinners at the end of the day and the festive, patriotic movies about heroic Heimarkian soldiers battling off the Dread and saving the day--many of which have become child-friendly just for the holiday season that follow the dinner. As for Heimarkia and the outside world, they know very little about it due to their isolationist nature, and for all they know there may not even be an outside world, however this very question has become the topic of fierce national debate on whether or not they should openly seek out foreign lands as their historic encounters still haunt them to this day.

Motto: For the People, for the Empire, forwards unto victory.

Name: Empire of Yamashiro

Magical, Technological, or a Mix of both: The Yamashirian society strives to make use of both technology and Magic to create a well balanced lifestyle.

Religion: Most dont associate themselves with religion, but religions comparable to shintoism and buddhism are widespread with some people just deciding to take parts of them to fit into their lifestyles.

Backstory/Lore: The empire of Yamashiro came about from multiple clans, one of which was the Yamashiro clan that came out to be the strongest after years of fighting other clans, thus consolidating their hold on the island of Chaldae after years of bloody war.

The defeated leaders of the other clans were given a place in the coming Diet as advisors or representatives of their own regions as part of the upper house after swearing loyalty to the current emperor/empress. Less important matters and less influencial people were relegated to the lower house.

Years later, Industrialization and increasing militarism called for expansion far beyond the limits of Chaldae, setting off westwards, leaving us on present day.

Territory, include capitol and other urban area locations:
Yellow: Smaller cities in the hundreds of thousands to low millions.
Red: Capital city with an estimated 10 million inhabitants

Population: 71,998,104

Government Type: Constitutional Monarchy

Government Rank: Empire

National Leader and Goals:
Empress Kaguya Yamashiro. Strong willed from birth yet looked down on by the Imperial Diet itself, doubting her ability to rule the nation. However, despite having a younger brother and sister, she was found to be the most fit to rule after the Emperor´s death one year prior. In the short time she has managed to rule she has demonstrated to have the will, but will she have the ability to do so?

Hilghly militarist, along with the nation itself, they will be heavily cautious or agressive when finding a new nation or people. The Empress herself only wishes what is best for the nation, what will drive it forward, and what will keep the people within its borders safe from outside harm.​

• Military
• Navy
• Air Force

• 
  Infantry: A total of 1,200,000 troops with an extra 500,000 on reserve.
  The infantry is the backbone of the army, the first into combat, the first to die, and the first to reach victory in battle. The standard soldier is equiped with a Type 99 rifle (the number depicts the year it was made), rations, bandages, a gas mask, and other necessities for life on the battlefield.
  
  The tank forces number around 2000 in total, while there are about 100,000 active duty Magi referred to as Kitsune (Fox) due to old folklore and tales of witchcraft without possessing any animal traits themselves however.
  
  The military makes use of different types of equipment, weapons, and vehicles:
  
  Small Arms:
  
  Spoiler

  Type 96 Light Machine Gun aka Hiryuu (Dragon)
  

  

  
  The picture above is of a female machinegunner carrying a Type 96 light machine gun. The gun itself carries a 30 round box detachable magazine, has a rate of between 450 to 500 rounds per minute and these are usually already enchanted to either make maintenance easier or not needed at all.
  
  Type 99 rifle aka Ken (Fist)
  

  

  
  The picture above depicts an indigenous soldier of the northern regions of Chaldae brandishing a Type 99 rifle, known for their ability to hunt and track enemies, they are generally pushed into marksmen/sniper squadrons as well as scouts. Some tend to have animal features in these squadrons, however the majority actually do not possess such features. The type 99 rifle is usually not enchanted and needs to be cleaned, etc, like any other normal weapon, however sniper or scout squadrons (scoped version) get the choice to have enchantments applied to it ranging from better more powerful ballistics, to actual damage elemental enchanments or especial effects or powerful spells. Normal infantry happen to get more customization options to their rifles after showing themselves capable in combat.
  
  Type 99 submachine gun aka Kabutomushi (Beetle)
  

  

  
  These is one of the weapons mixed into assault squads, given that it is highly effective at close range. It possesses a capacity of 30 rounds with a rate of fire of 800 rounds per minute. Troopers that have shown themselves to be excellent in combat are offered customization options, a favorite amongst these individuals seems to be magically explosive rounds or a heightened rate of fire which places a severe strain on the weapon requiring an almost casual change of barrels or a complete change of weapon, most are dissuaded from this option.
  
  Type 14 Nambu aka Endō (pea)
  
  

  

  
  The standard issue pistol for the armed forces with a capacity of 8 rounds.
  
  Type 97 Anti-Tank rifle aka Ransu (Lance)
  

  

  
  An standard tank hunter team, the type 97 Anti-tank rifle can penetrate up to 30mm of armor at an angle of 90 degrees at a range of 250 meters. It has a 7 round capacity with up to 12 rounds per minute. The large caliber of the round (20mms) means that the recoil must be handled with care. Teams that have shown themselves to be exceptional in battle and those regarded as elite right out of training can choose to have their weapons enchanted for added penetration, effects, etc.
  
  Type 89 Grenade discharger aka Knee Mortar
  

  

  
  A Yamashirian soldier demonstrating the proper use of a Type 89 Grenade Discharger. These small mortars can be found atleast once on every squadron in the army. The type 89 grenade discharger can launch the normal Type 91 grenade or the larger 50mm type 89 grenade which can range from normal high explosive, smoke, or incendiary rounds.
  
  Type 99 Flamethrower
  

  

  
  A flametrooper brandishing his Type 99 Flamethrower, which has a range of up to 27 meters.
  
  Type 92 Heavy Machine Gun
  

  

  
  The type 92 heavy machinegun is used in a mostly defensive role or when taking enemy positions that can be used in our favor. It might also be found on some vehicles and aircraft used by the Yamashirian Empire.
  
  Artillery
  
  
  Spoiler

  Type 90 75mm Field Gun
  
  

  

  
  The standard medium caliber artillery piece of the Imperial Army. It has a range of 14,960 meters and with a rate of fire of 15 rounds over 2 minutes. It can fire high high explosive, fragmentation, armor piercing, incendiary, smoke, and illumination.
  
  Type 96 15cm Howitzer
  

  

  
  a 150mm howitzer, can fire most types of shells and has a rate of fire of 3 to 4 rounds per minute with a maximum range of 11,900 meters. Its one of the heavier artillery pieces found in the Yamashirian arsenal.
  
  Type 92 10cm cannon
  

  

  
  a 105mm cannon, can fire most types of shells and has a rate of fire of 6 to 8 rounds per minute as well as a range of 18,300 meters. It is one of, if not the heaviest artillery piece used by the Yamashirian army.
  
  Type 97 90mm Infantry Mortar
  

  

  
  This is the main infantry mortar used by the Yamashirian army. It has a range of 3,800 meters and can fire different types of shells (as mentioned earlier).
  
  Besides the normal shell options, some guns or shells themselves are enchanted with certain magics that allow for a longer range, silenced shots, different elements, etc.
  
  Vehicles
  
  
  Spoiler

  Type 99 Chi-Ri aka Tokage (Lizard)
  

  

  
  This is the main tank in the Yamashirian Army, equipped with two heavy mahineguns side by side along with one at the front of the hull with a main armament consisting of a 47mm. Its armor consists of around 15mm all around with a top speed of 24 km/h. On top of the conventional protection, yamashirian tanks are equipped with magic defensive crystals, enabling them to create a magic field around the tank with a nearly 50% defensive increase. However, under continous fire, the crystal can be overloaded meaning that the shield will deactivate and undergo a heat release process, during this 'cooldown' time this essential piece of equipment is incredibly sensitive and a direct hit to it by any kind of shell will usually mean another fiery blaze in the battlefield, due to this, crews are advised to immediately follow standard procedure and sink the crystal into cooling liquid or water. There is also another version where the main armament is removed, and the crew is moved down to two men (1 driver and 1 magus to maintain the crystal) a large defense crystal settled in the middle casting a large protective shield/ward over the armored column or infantry that it is driving along with.
  
  Type 95 Truck aka Yagi (Goat)
  

  

  
  This is the main logistic and transport truck in the Yamashirian Army. There are different versions, however the picture above shows the standard transport with up to 40 to 60km/h. There is another version which the side doors are pulled down, carrying either a 25mm autocannon or a 90mm mortar.

Name:
The Rīkedom of Moreasland

• Basic Information
• Government
• Culture
• Military
• Military Equipment

• 
  Motto:
  We shall triumph.
  
  Flag:
  The flag is a tricolour flag. The blue represents the royal human families, and the orange represents the royal elven families.
  
  Magical, Technological, or a Mix of both:
  Technically, Moreasland is a mixed country, but is practically technological.
  
  Territory, include capitol and other urban area locations:
  View attachment 379989
  View attachment 380076
  
  Population:
  There are 31,200,000 people in Moreasland.
  51% of the population is elves, while 48% of the population is humans. The remaining 3% is kobolds, goblins, and other races.
  
• 
  Government Type:
  The government is a constitutional monarchy.
  
  There is an assembly called the Assembly of Elf and Man. This assembly must approve the laws of the Rīke in order for them to be enforced. The Assembly has a delegate from each district in Moreasland. They can even remove the Rīke, but that would require a 9/10 vote. The head of the Assembly is the Chef (A word in Moreas unrelated to the word for a worker who makes food). The Chef organises meetings of the Assembly and can introduce proposed laws.
  
  The country is divided into multiple districts. Each is ruled by a Lord and a local assembly. The lord is a position which someone gets by inheritance, while the local assembly is elected by locals. Like the Rīke and the Assembly of Elf and Man, the Lord must have their proposals aprroved by the local assembly in order to be in effect. They all must enforce and follow national laws, not interfere with the actions of other districts, but they do not have much limitations beyond that. Some districts are small villages, while some are large cities. Each district has one delegate that goes to the Assembly of Elf and Man. That person is appointed by the lord and approved by the local assembly.
  
  The currency of Moreasland is the Goud. This is a gold coin with the Rīke's face on it. There is also a paper form of the Goud that come in various denominations. The paper form is backed by a gold standard. There is a central bank in Moreasland called the Royal Bank of Moreasland. It has its chairman appointed by the Rīke (who must get his appointment approved by the Assembly). They manage the supply of money in the economy along with banks' reserve requirements and interest rates.
  
  There is an agency in Moreasland called the Toverij Agency. This is the only group in Moreasland legally able to learn and use magic. They are not to be used as combat, rather being for the magical security of the Rīke, the Rīke's family, and other important politicians. Currently, there are only 30 Toverij Agents, which is the max allowed. They train and meet in Toverij, the former capital of Moreasland during the Magnocracy period.
  
  Government Rank:
  Arch-Duchy
  
  National Leader and Goals:
  
  
  
  
  
  The national leader is Tygo IX. He is a human whose Great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather was the legendary Tygo. However, he is nowhere as good as him. He did attend a fine university and served in the navy, but he never got the attention or support his father did.
  
  Currently, he has new ambitions for Moreasland. The first is to establish a naval presence over more parts of the surrounding waters. Second, establish refeuling and naval stations in various sections of the waters. Third is to make Moreasland more influential in global affairs.
  
  Tygo IX is married to an elf by the name of Madelon. They have three children: Esmée, his 8 year old daughter that is the heir to the throne, Tygo X, his 3 year old son, and Randolph, his 1 year old son. Since race goes down the father's side, they are all humans, though they have some very slight elvish features.
  
• 
  Culture:
  The Rīkedom is of elves and humans living together. Despite multiple physical difference, they see themselves as equals when compared to foreigners, especially to goblins and kobolds. Moreas people don't like foreigners. Marrying someone neither an elf or human is seen as a disgrace.
  
  The family unit usually composes of at least two parents, at least two children. The parents have the function of socializing their children and teaching them skills. When the parents grow old, it is expected for them to be taken care of by their children. Siblings do not need to live together. Bloodlines run through the father. Divorce is a disgraceful thing, no matter which partner wants it. When parents divorce, the, children would go to the their grandparents, or the father if the grandparents are no longer alive.
  
  Woman had some expected traditions and roles. While they are allowed to take jobs, they are expected to take care of the homestead for the benefit of themselves and the family.
  
  It is an expected thing in the society to show one's wealth. Aristocrats buy fine clothing, hire an assistant to follow them around, eat hot meals, and live in fine manors. Even the less wealthy will somewhat follow this expectation. Every now and then, one of those less rich will buy themselves a nice coat, or treat themselves with a fine dinner. When it comes to the poor, no one follows that expectation as they need all the money they can get to survive and instead use it for essential stuff.
  
  The society kind of looks down on the poor, both in a bad and sad way. People expect that someone is poor either because they deserved it, or because they were cheated out of something. Giving aid to a poor person is a somewhat admirable thing, though the society won't reward the person doing the deed.
  
  Religion:
  Despite the country's extreme restrictions on magic, Moreasland has a large faith. Starting around fifteen hundred years ago, they worship a diety known as Hemels. He is of the sky and has created everything. Elves and Men were each made to fit certain aspects of his image. Hemels occasionally goes down to people and makes them do certain things for the good of all. All good people's spirit go to him after they pass away, while the spirits of the bad are destroyed.
  
  This religion has some structure to it. There is a network of temples across the land. Each temple has a cleric and they follow a religious head called the Vescovo. The Vescovo resides in a territory in Moreasland called the Vescovo State. It is a territory whoses foreign affairs and inter-region regulations are regulated by the main government, but is nearly a government of its own.
  
  There are multiple traditions to this religion. One must have a day of no work every eight days so they can worship ob that day. One cannot be rich without being charitable. People in a relationship must take care of at least two children once. The end of every month is a day of rest.
  
  Backstory/Lore:
  
  The history of Moreasland goes way back, so back that few people were even writing. In the region three thousand years ago, there were four humanoid peoples: Humans, Elves, Kobolds, and Goblins. Elves originally resided in the Moreas region on the coasts, but tribes of humans, goblins, and kobolds started to migrate in. The region was divided between the races with elves in the southeast, humans in the southwest, kobolds in the north, and goblins to the east.
  
  Around 2,000 years ago, elven and human tribes soon turned into small kingdoms, though most kingdoms were not bigger than a town or two. Eventually, these kingdoms centralised from dozens of kingdoms to less than five. Tribes of kobolds and goblins stayed tribes and did not centralise. This led to them to start being conquered and pushed out by elves and humans.
  
  Human and Elven kingdoms occasionally fought each other. However, they saw themselves more as equals. They were both taller and stronger than kobolds and goblins, and had more physical and cultural similarities between them than kobolds and goblins. Wars between Elven and human kingdoms would be less because of there differences. Disliking between the races always existed, but it was superceded by dislike for other races.
  
  Magic was discovered soon, people started to use it. Technology was also advance, with better irragation and writing. However, fourteen hundred years ago came the collapse of most centralised kingdoms. It's not sure how exactly they all fell, but they did. With them, technology declined and the knowledge of magic almost disappeared.
  
  The following years saw small kingdoms fighting each other, as they were long ago. Kobolds and Goblins made small advances into the Moreas region. People were more ruthless. This continued for some time. However, things started to get better. A city was developed on an island and was called Rootalendi. This would be a centre for trade and movement between the regions of Moreas.
  
  A thoudand fifty years ago, an Elf King called Escaritus came to power in one of the Elven kingdoms. He was a skilled general, capable of feats way beyond other at the time. He conquered much territory, including Rootalendi. Kobolds and Goblins were nearly entirely removed from the region. Soon, he proclaimed a new empire: The Rīkedom of Moreasland, and him as the Rīke. Rootalendi became the capital of the new realm.
  
  Things went well, but then came the death of Escaritus' great-grandson without an heir. This lead to the rīkedom dividing up. However, there was the monestary of Toverij. They were a group of magicians interested in reuniting the lands. With sone hired mercenaries, their magic, and a claimant to the throne, they fought the divided states.
  
  After twenty years of fighting, the magicians reunited the Rīkedom. However, the reunited Rīkedom was different from its pripr, feudal form. There was a large council of magicians in Toverij called the Toverij Council. They held rule over a bunch of other councils scatterted around and ruling various regions of Moreasland. The Rīke still existed, but had to have their actions approved by the Toverij council. Taxes and diplomats went to the council instead of the Rīke. The Rīke was nothing more than a title. Seven hundred thirty three years ago, the title was abolished and the magic councils became the government of the country. The new ruler of the country was the head of the Toverij council, known as the Tovenaar.
  
  During this time, known as the Magnocracy Period, the country felt some stability. During the time, there was little political instability, with the exception of the Toverij council needing to enforce a ruling in a region every now and then. Magic played an important part. If one wanted to be in their regions' council, they had to be a magician. Magicians also had special privileges such as getting a small portion of the tax revenue. Magic schools started to be built in places. The number of magicians soared, relatively. In reality, only one in every forty three people were magicians. The military was mostly levy and had few magicians. They trained for hours everyday, and seemed invincible to the populace. The economy was towards importing, as magicians seeked much foreign materials. Laws were put in to limit the number of exports to a very small amount. The populace, while having little power, was able to enjoy plentiful wealth. Technological advancement was stalled in favour of magical advancements.
  
  The Magnocracy Period came to an end around two hundred twenty three years ago. The economy collapsed due to some supply shortages and bad crop yields. Meanwhile, the Toverij Council built up a large debt from its imports. People were unhappy, while magicians were the least affected. The populace demanded that the Toverij council do something. Their attempts to use magic to solve the situation brought only minor success, and their attempts to raise taxes and build new irrigation failed greatly and made the situation worse. Local councils could do little. Much of the population was angry, and much opposed to the Toverij council.
  
  Some merchants, farmers, and rich people formed a group called the Assembly of Elf and Man. They wanted to make amends to the government, believing that the Toverij Council was inable to fix the situation in its current form. They met with the Toverij council and demanded certain changes to it. The Toverij council rejected the ideas and arrested the leader of the Assembly of Elf and Man.
  
  This radicalised the council. Many now thought that they have to force their demands. Some members traveled abroad and brought back muskets and ammunition. It was to be used for self-defence. However, when the Tovenaar heard of that, he ordered for the arrest of all of the members in Rootalendi. The Assembly of Elf and Man were able to hear of this before being arrested and took up arms.
  
  In Rootalendi, a small military unit attacked a compound used by the Assembly of Elf and Man. The rebels routed the force thrice their size. The military had not had experience from a war in a while, and used swords and armour against people using muskets that could pierce armour in a fortified position. The victory of the Assembly of Elf and Man gained the support if much of the city of Rootalendi. They took the city's armoury and armed the populace. A two weeks after the battle, a larger force came, and was defeated again by the rebels who now had controlled the city.
  
  The failure to retake the most important city in the land destroyed the invincible image of the military. Soon, villagers started to oppose the will of their council, or even overthrow it. The force of the Assembly of Elf and Man was growing strong, even if it didn't have control over all the rebels. Their new leader and head of their militias, Tygo Abbink, was able to attract more support.
  
  Fighting was difficult. Magicians were used in some battles by the Toverij Council. Their power made people to fear and hate magicians. Soon, many magicians, even those supporting the rebels, were attacked. The Tovenaar's military was lacking muskets, since there was little emphasis on military advancements during the Magnocracy period. Yet, only one in three rebels had a musket, as the Assembly of Elf and Man couldn't afford to supply them at at the rate their growing in size. Open field battles became bloody with musket balls piercing armour, and knights slashing less armoured rebels. The military of the Tovenaar was not doibg well, it was losing valuable, trained men. It started to look more hopeless. Soon, some officers started to defect.
  
  After five years, ability of the Tovenaar was gone. The rebels were in the suburds of Toverij. The Tovenaar fled away to exile. The remaining Toverij Council surrendered. The Assembly of Elf and Man declared itself as the new national government, and Rootalendi, now renamed Roodeiland, was now the capital.
  
  A new government arose after some discussion of the Assembly of Elf and Man. The Rīkedom that was gone for a long time returned less than two hundred years ago. The new Rīke was Tygo Abbink. The government started to reform economic policies and military reforms. Magicians had a problem when an uprising of them happened. They were quickly put down and magic was restricted to only a few people.
  
  Today, the Rīkedom of Moreasland still stands. There has sometimes been depressions and political instability, but not anything like the times when the Assembly was starting. The current Rīke, Tygo IX, has many things to do.
  
• 
  Military:
  495,000 people serve in the military.
  
  20% of the military force is reserves, who are not active since the country is in a time of peace. By conscription law, Moreasland can conscript an extra 55,000 if needed. The Moreas Guard Organisation of the military lightly arms another 36,000 citizens.
  
  The military has advanced much since the days of fighting the Tovenaar. Muskets and swords have been replaced by rifles and artillery. Modern methods of enlistment and conscription have been used. The use of logistics is studied greatly by officers.
  
  Army:
  447,276 personnel serve in the army.
  
  The army, being the oldest force of Moreasland, has well been focused on.

  Spoiler: Small Arms

  Small Arms
  
  

  

  
  
  Currently, the main rifle of the Rīke army is the GH-30 Type 2. This is a .30 caliber bolt-action rifle. The gun can fire around 10 to 15 times a minute. The rifles have an effective range of 0.9 kilometres to a max range of 5 kilometres. A steel bayonet may be attached to the front if needed.
  
  

  

  
  
  With machine guns, there is the CH-30-600. This can fire .30 cartriges at a rate of 500-600 a minute. Its range is less than that of the GH-30 Type 2, with an effect range of 0.8 kilometres and a max range of 3.2 kilometres.
  
  

  

  
  
  A light machine gun is the CM-30-550 Type 3. This is an automatic rifle, and is plann It can fire .30 cartridges at a rate of 550-600 a minute, given that it has enough ammunition. The effective range is 1.4 kilometres, and the maximum range is 4.4 kilometres. Every platoon is planned to have one, but that is not a priority. Only a third of all platoons have one so far.
  
  

  

  
  

  

  
  

  

  
  
  There are, of course, smaller weapons. The revolver of the military is the Vischer revolver. It's an 8mm revolver. The knife of the military is an 8 inch long steel blade. Most infantry have a modification for it that puts a ring on the handle, allowing it to become a bayonet if needed. Officers of at least the rank of captain get a 20" sabre, though that is more for decoration than combat.
  
  
  Spoiler: Armour

  Armour
  
  

  

  
  
  The current armour of the military is the Mees I. This armour has two turrets on the sides, which can be either a 0.40 mm cannons or a CM-30-600 machine guns. The armour is 10 mm thick. The crew composes of eight soldiers. This tank can go at a max of 6 km an hour, and 38 kilometers before needing to refuel.
  
  

  

  
  
  A new armour being produced is the Mees V. This new armour has a rotating turret that can hold either a CM-30-550 Type 3 or a 0.36 mm cannon capable of firing 15 rounds a minute. The armour is 16 mm thick. Two people operate it. The armour can move 60 km before needing to be refuelled.
  
  

  

  
  
  There is also the Abbink Armoued Car. This is basically a 4mm armour on the sides of a car with an open top. On the top is a CM-30-500 Type 3 machine gun. I can carry 4-5 people. As this is wheeled and has lighter armour than the other armour, it can go 40 km an hour and go up to 150 km before refueling.
  
  
  Spoiler: Artillery

  Artillery
  
  

  

  
  
  The main gun of the Moreas military is the Macomber 75mm. This is an old, but powerful weapon. It has a range of 7 km. 15-30 rounds can be fired a minute. It can fire a sharpenel shell full of lead balls, or a an impact-detonated explosive shell.
  
  

  

  
  
  A more long-ranged gun is the Meerfort 15 cm. This has a range of 18.5 km.
  
  

  

  
  
  A more close artilllery is the Judocus 80 mm Mortar. It can fire an explosive shell 750-800 meters. It can fire 8 shells a minute, but can go more if it is given a better way to cool off after firing.
  
  
  Spoiler: Transport Vehicles

  Transport Vehicles:
  Lorries
  
  

  

  
  
  Lorries are used to transport personnel, wounded, ammunition, artillery, and other supplies from place to place, especially when rail is unavailable. The current one is the Tijn Company Lorrie. The lorries require roads to move on, which means it can go to more places than rail. It is possible to move off roads, but mechanical problems are more likely to arise when moving on less smooth surface. Yet, this means that it can get closer to front lines than rail. Modifications can be made to the lorries to mount machine guns on if needed.
  
  Staff Car
  
  

  

  
  
  Staff cars are used to transport officers and non-combatants. These can go faster than lorries, but hold less. These are not expected to be in active combat zones, but it's metal body can be used as a small defence.
  
  Rail
  
  

  

  
  
  The railway system of Moreasland has been developed for decades and decades. Locomotives moves faster than lorries and can carry more, but can only go on railways.
  
  Transport Ship
  
  

  

  
  
  Ships are used to carry people and supplies overseas. These can carry much more of both soldiers and supplies compared to lorries and locomotives. Transport ships are usually escorted.
  
  Horse
  
  

  

  
  
  The old technology of using horses has nearly been ended, as most other forms of transportation are better. The only places that use these are remote bases, where there are few roads and rough terrain. While they need little resources to be brought into service, horses need to be constantly maintained. As they're animals, they also can be scared, go out of control, or flee. With better alternatives, horses are more of a burden then everything else, thus why it is now limited to remote locations.
  
  Transport Planes (Experimental)
  
  The use of aeroplanes to transport has been tested. Prototypes are modified GD IIs. These prototypes have a compartment in what was the second person's seat. However, the compartments are only large enough to carry one or two boxes of ammunition, which is considered too small to be useful. There have been propositions to place the cargo where the bombs would be and have the planes drop cargo via parachute, but that has yet to be tested, and officers do not support the idea of having cargo fall via parachute where it can be at. Transportation of personnel has been tested less. No planes in the Moreasland Air Force carry more than two people. Engineers have been researching commercial aircraft manufacturers who are also experimenting with planes meant to carry multiple people.
  Spoiler: Aeroplanes

  Aeroplanes are a recent thing added to the military. An Air Force branch of the military was only made six years ago.
  
  

  

  
  
  The fighter plane of the air force is the GD I. This is a single-seat biplane capable of going 150 km and hour and altitudes of 4.2 km. It is equiped with a modified CH-30-600 machine gun. It is usef to fight enemy planes or escort bombers.
  
  

  

  
  
  The bomber plane of the air force is the GD II. This is a two-seater biplane capable of carrying 2-4 bombs depending on their mass. There are three CH-30-600 machine guns on the plane. Two are fied to the front and controlled by the pilot, while another is in the back for the second person.
  Spoiler: Navy

  

  
  Battlecruisers have been used for the navy. Most battlecruisers contain four twin 305mm guns, sixteen single 102mm guns, and two 450mm torpedo tubes. These have a displacement of 22,000 tons. They can go at 28 knots.These ships are usually over 200m long. These usually carry 1,100 people
  
  Submarines
  
  

  

  
  
  Submarines have been produced. Most are capable of diving to a max of 150m. These are armed with 6 450mm torpedo tubes and a single 102mm gun. The submarine also has 8 naval mines deployed. These submarines are 70 m in length and can go 15 knots on the surface and 9 knots when submerged. Submerged time is limited to 16 hours before it has to resurface for oxygen. These usuall carry 37-44 people.
  
  Light Cruiser
  
  

  

  
  
  The light cruiser is fast, but has less armour and firepower. These can go 29.5 knots, but its steel armour ranges from 25-75mm depending on the part of the ship. They carry
  2 single 152mm guns, 6 single 102mm guns, a 47mm anti-aircraft gun, and 2 533mm torpedo tubes. These ships carry 265-273 people.
  
  Destroyer
  
  

  

  
  
  These are fast and manoeuvrable ships. They can go at 29 knots. These have 3 102mm guns, 2 40mm anti-aircraft guns, 2 533mm torpedo tubes, and 4 naval mines. These have steel armour ranging from 30mm-70mm. These carrie 72-76 people.
  
  Battleships
  
  

  

  
  
  These are the largest and most powerful ships in the navy. Its steel armour ranges from 20mm to 330mm in thickness depending on the part of the ships. It is armed with 5 twin 381mm guns, 16 single 102mm guns, 2 single 76mm anti-aircraft guns, and 3 533mm torpedo tubes. It has a speed of 24 knots. The displacement is 33,000 tons. 1,250 people are needed to man this.
  
  Escort
  
  

  

  
  
  Escorts are used to escort military and civilian ships and to patrol coasts. These are 60m long boats capable of holding 60 people. They have 2 102mm guns, 1 76mm gun, 2 CH-30-600 mounted machine guns, and a depth charge deployer. These can go at 19 knots. It also contains wire sweeps to be use to find naval mines.
  
  Cutters
  
  

  

  
  
  Cutters belong to the Moreasland Coast Guard instead of the Navy, though they can be transferred to the Navy's control in times of war. They are used to help civilian ships around the coast and aid in coastal defence. It carries 2 76mm guns, 2 20mm guns, and depth charges deployer. It can go at 12 knots, and carries 70 people. It's a 50m long ship. These ships have a special ability of having hulls designed to break through sea ice.
  
  Aircraft Carrier (Experimental)
  
  

  

  
  
  Naval Officers welcome the idea of combining the capabilities of aeroplanes and warships. How to combine them, however, has not been fully worked out.The best craft created is a single ship whose top is a flight deck. It's 172m long. By itself, the ship has 4 102mm anti-aircraft guns and two 102mm guns. It can hold 480 people, and 14-18 aircraft. It moves at 20 knots. There is only one aircraft carrier at the moment, and it was built 2 years ago.
  Spoiler: Explosives

  

  
  The main hand grenade is the Rood III. This is a 0.6kg fragmentation grenade.
  
  

  

  
  
  An alternative is the Stok Stick grenade. This is a grenade with a handle, making it easier to throw, but also makes it larger in size. Combining the head of multiple stick grenades can become an improvised to make an anti-tank grenade.
  
  Grenades and artillery rounds that emit smoke have been implemented. They are given to certain officers. They can be used to conceal movements, or signal an area.
  
  White phosphorus is a new thing being implemented to explosive ammunition. Some grenades and artillery ammunition have been modified to contain white phosphorus. White phosporus is a dangerous chemical. It can cause fatal burns on its victims, its smoke can be damaging if breathed in, and accidentally intaking some can be fatal.
  
  Sulfur mustard is a gas bomb starting to be produced for artillery. While it is less useful for killing enemies, it can cause blisters, sore eyes, and painful damage to the lungs, which could make enemies unable to fight. This gas can be damaging whether one has a mask on or not, since it can affect one's skin.
  Spoiler: Soldier's Equipment

  This is what the average soldier will have. This may vary depending on unit or rank.
  

  • A brodie helmet made of steel and with a leather strap (Officers and non-front line soldiers wear woolen caps instead).
  • A four pocket wool tunic with brass buttons.
  • Woolen trousers.
  • A collarless grey shirt under the tunic (Officers wear collared shirts with a tie instead).
  • Brown, leather ankle boots.
  • Long, woolen puttee cloth.
  • Leather belt with cotton shoulder and cross straps.
  • 5-pocket bandolier (for ammunition).
  • A wide water bottle.
  • Knife scabbard.
  • A Small pack.
  • A canvas gas mask (Only put on when using gases).
  • GH-30 Type 2 Rifle (or other weapon depending on unit or rank).
  • 8 in long steel blade (with capability to be used as bayonet).
  • Vischer revolver.
  • 20" steel sabre (for those at or above the rank of captain).
  • A Rood III grenade (or Stok Stick Grenade depending on unit).
  • A shovel made of two parts.

  Naval Personnel have it different.

The Great City of Bardwall​

May the gods wish peace upon your soul. ​

Magical, Technological, or a Mix of both:
The people of Bardwall rely a lot on magic of all sorts.

Religion, if any:
The citizens all have their own interpretation, but the main idea is that the great Gods created all the creatures and plants alive today. The Stoneworkers generally pray to the God of Earth and Masonry, Marok. Rune Keepers like to give tributes to the Goddess of Wisdom, Dena. Even criminals pray to the God of Trickery and Fortune, Stav. Some citizens of Bardwall choose not to worship a deity, and they are free to do so. But the majority of people find peace in praying before bed.

Backstory/Lore:
The people of Bardwall are mostly migrants from all over seeking isolation in the mountain ranges of the South. Originally founded by a group of exiles, Bardwall is a city that was carved from the marble peaks of the Wintercrest Mountains by the hands of giants over centuries. It represents the undying will of the people that perseveres against all odds.

Now-a-days, it is populated by creatures of all walks of life. Eighteen foot tall Giants generally find work as Stoneworkers, blacksmiths or warriors. Four-hooved Horsemen are commonly seen pulling carts of supplies and transporting tourists in wagons. Rune Keepers teach classes at local schools, training the next generation of Keepers and other magic users. But what separates the great city the most is not it’s location or diversity, but it’s reliance on magic. Some call it old fashion, but everything from erecting sky scrapers and demolishing them to planting crop fields and harvesting them in the summer is done with the help of a Keeper, a powerful mage born with a strong affinity for magic. These are just a few examples of daily life in a place like Bardwall.

The Capitol
View attachment 380429
View attachment 380432
The capitol building in Bardwall is located in the western end of the city, Rundheim. There, too, is the great University of Bardwall. Lots of intellectuals, both Keeper and mage, are born from this region.

Steinhall
View attachment 380431
East of the Capitol is the great industrial region, Steinhall. It is well known for it's production of minerals such as silver, iron and marble.

Veld
View attachment 380433
The most eastern section of the city is Veld, what most would consider to be like the downtown core of a metropolis. Lots of busy malls and shops open all day long, selling the finest Owl-skin leathers and Gart furs. People bustling about, trying to catch the next train home. Veld, to nobody's surprise, also happens to be the most crime infested region of the city.

Frostgard

Last, but certainly not least, is Frostgard, the region that keeps the citizens of Bardwall hunger free. The southern most region of the city is dotted with large patches of land dedicated to farming things like Oilbeans, Juice Root and Curdip. Though these few crops manage to survive the harsh winters of the mountains, most of Bardwalls food must be imported.

The City of Bardwall has a population of just over 600000.

The Military of Bardwall is fairly weak, even for a City State. It is composed of roughly 5000 Foot Soldiers, 2000 Horsemen, 1000 Giants, 1000 Dragons and 2000 Rune Keepers.

Foot Soldiers

Foot Soldiers are always covered in thick leather hides. They carry a long, wooden rifle and a short sword.

Horsemen

Horsemen usually carry heavier armor and long spears.

Giants

Giants, who are considered to be some of the most important members of the military, stand at 18 feet tall on average. They are equipped with very expensive, custom made heavy armor and weapons that no regular man would be able to dawn.

Dragons

Dragons are some of the most powerful members of the army of Bardwall. The 20 foot tall beasts usually don't carry armor, as it would cost too much to produce. But they are capable of flight and breathing fire down onto their enemies.

Rune Keepers

Rune Keepers are the main magical output of the Bardwall army. Their magical abilities range from setting fire to the earth to hailing lightning onto the battlefield. Most Keepers that join the military, however, study healing and protective magics to better aid their allies in any combat situation.

National Leader and Goals:
Bardwall does not have a single leader, but a whole council of leaders, know as The Circle of Keepers. There are currently 37 members of this organization, but the most influential three are High-Keeper Elvin Longstaff, Great Mason Baldur Orus and General Tibran Nyros.

Military Equipment:
The Blacksmiths of Bardwall are in charge of outfitting the soldiers with the best equipment they can create.

The Great City of Bardwall​

May the gods wish peace upon your soul. ​

Magical, Technological, or a Mix of both:
The people of Bardwall rely a lot on magic of all sorts.

Religion, if any:
The citizens all have their own interpretation, but the main idea is that the great Gods created all the creatures and plants alive today. The Stoneworkers generally pray to the God of Earth and Masonry, Marok. Rune Keepers like to give tributes to the Goddess of Wisdom, Dena. Even criminals pray to the God of Trickery and Fortune, Stav. Some citizens of Bardwall choose not to worship a deity, and they are free to do so. But the majority of people find peace in praying before bed.

Backstory/Lore:
The people of Bardwall are mostly migrants from all over seeking isolation in the mountain ranges of the South. Originally founded by a group of exiles, Bardwall is a city that was carved from the marble peaks of the Wintercrest Mountains by the hands of giants over centuries. It represents the undying will of the people that perseveres against all odds.

Now-a-days, it is populated by creatures of all walks of life. Eighteen foot tall Giants generally find work as Stoneworkers, blacksmiths or warriors. Four-hooved Horsemen are commonly seen pulling carts of supplies and transporting tourists in wagons. Rune Keepers teach classes at local schools, training the next generation of Keepers and other magic users. But what separates the great city the most is not it’s location or diversity, but it’s reliance on magic. Some call it old fashion, but everything from erecting sky scrapers and demolishing them to planting crop fields and harvesting them in the summer is done with the help of a Keeper, a powerful mage born with a strong affinity for magic. These are just a few examples of daily life in a place like Bardwall.

The Capitol
View attachment 380429
View attachment 380432
The capitol building in Bardwall is located in the western end of the city, Rundheim. There, too, is the great University of Bardwall. Lots of intellectuals, both Keeper and mage, are born from this region.

Steinhall
View attachment 380431
East of the Capitol is the great industrial region, Steinhall. It is well known for it's production of minerals such as silver, iron and marble.

Veld
View attachment 380433
The most eastern section of the city is Veld, what most would consider to be like the downtown core of a metropolis. Lots of busy malls and shops open all day long, selling the finest Owl-skin leathers and Gart furs. People bustling about, trying to catch the next train home. Veld, to nobody's surprise, also happens to be the most crime infested region of the city.

Frostgard

Last, but certainly not least, is Frostgard, the region that keeps the citizens of Bardwall hunger free. The southern most region of the city is dotted with large patches of land dedicated to farming things like Oilbeans, Juice Root and Curdip. Though these few crops manage to survive the harsh winters of the mountains, most of Bardwalls food must be imported.

Population:
The City of Bardwall has a population of just over 600000.

Military:
The Military of Bardwall is fairly weak, even for a City State. It is composed of roughly 6000 Foot Soldiers, 2000 Horsemen, 1000 Giants, 2000 Rune Keepers and 6 Airships.

Airships
View attachment 380468
The Airships, piloted by a powerful Keeper, are regularly used for transporting goods across the world. But, it’s been decided to upgrade their metal hulls and add two torpedo launchers to each for the purpose of defence. Now these metal Airships, with 2 inch thick hulls, can reach a top speed of 20 mph.

National Leader and Goals:
Bardwall does not have a single leader, but a whole council of leaders, know as The Circle of Keepers. There are currently 37 members of this organization, but the most influential three are High-Keeper Elvin Longstaff, Great Mason Baldur Orus and General Tibran Nyros.

Flag:

Name: Greater Kashai

Magical, Technological, or a Mix of both: Mostly focused on war technology, but acceptive of magic use in the army. Very repulsive of magic use outside of the military.

Religion, if any: Tribal: "The Good Ones", gods of nature, war and peace, are commonly honoured by the population.

Backstory/Lore:
Greater Kashai was once a nation that stretched out way further than the mountains and plains it controls today. In it's glory days, Lord Dagoth's father was a man respected and feared by many other leaders. This way, untill the Days of Disaster happened. While the army was fighting a sudden rebellion in the East, two of Kashai's closest allies turned their back on him, and let the enemy nation's troops pass through their lands. The defending Kashai troops were slaughtered, the population massacred and the capital besieged. Dagoth's father rushed back to save his wife and child, slaying all who stood in his way. However, when he and the enemy faced each other in the courtyard of the Varagh Uhr, a dragon suddenly appeared out of nowhere. The armies of Dagoth's father and his enemies were either dead or on the run, as not even the strongest mages of both armies were able to defeat the dragon. Even Dagoth's father himself, being a strong experienced soldier with magical powers, died whilst trying to kill the dragon.
After killing most of the soldiers, the dragon flew away again. The remaining enemy forces fled, and the rebuilding of Greater Kashai would begin. Dagoth, being but a teenager, was put on the throne with the help of his mother. It was decided that a Disaster like this was never to happen again. Greater Kashai would start to focus more on technology, and less on magic. Cannons and anti-air would be researched and made soon, and Greater Kashai would be very suspicious of other nations, making it difficult for them to create alliances.

Territory, include capitol and other urban area locations:
Varagh Uhr (capital), in the province of Kashianum.
Cithrium, in the province of Beresk Cith.
Baragh Kah, in the province of Beresk Kah.
Verhgus (in the mountains), in the province of Keshintri.
Krumigh, in the province of Veglar Island.

I don't know how to make that map, can you please inform me on it?


Population: 31 mil

Government Type: Absolute Monarchy, with governors for each province except Kashianum (Lord Dagoth's province).

Government Rank: Arch Duchy

Military: 600,000 soldiers:
- 874 wizards and witches (fire and earth magic), also able to summon different earth, fire and lava creatures.
- 180,000 sailors and ship crew.
- 360,000 foot soldiers and cavalry.
- 48,136 tank crew, cannon crew and engineers.
- 11,000 trolls from the Keshintri mountains.

National Leader and Goals: Lord Dagoth von Arenberg, his goal is to expand his territory to become a dominant power in the region, to prevent his people from further disasters.

Military Equipment: the foot soldiers use mainly bolt-action rifles with bayonets. The cavalry uses swords as well as lances, and the sailors and ship crew use both rifles and swords. Greater Kashai owns 127 artillery pieces, including 37 heavy mortars, 31 anti-air and 59 land cannons, and 231 early tanks, focused on easy manouvering and quick movement rather than heavy firepower. The navy consists of 11 warships and 45 vessels and frigates. The nation has no air force.

Other: In the mines of Keshintri, Kashai workers collect tons of metals, minerals and crystals, allowing the nation to focus it's export on that.

- 1,000 Varagh Guard, Lord Dagoth's personal guard.
- 874 wizards and witches (fire and earth magic), also able to summon different earth, fire and lava creatures:
* Golem (high tier magic): Made out of solid stone and nothing but lava on the inside, the golem is one of the strongest magical creatures Kashai Mages can summon. A golem is about as big as a five-story building. His defensive capabilities are immense, but he also takes a long, difficult ritual to summon. It is also able to breathe fire, but the range of that is about the same as when it stretches out its arm. Classified as High Tier Summoning Magic.

* Lava Slug (medium tier magic): The lava slug is a much less powerful creature, and is as big as an average adult human. It is mainly used as an anti-armor weapon due it's melting heat, allthough it can kill infantry as well if it gets close enough. Classified as Low Tier Summoning Magic.

* Firebird (low tier magic): The firebird is very easy to summon, but only useful if the summoner knows what to do with it. Their size depends on the magical capabilities of the summoner: they can be as big as an eagle, or as small as a robin. The Kashai Mages use it mainly to disrupt enemy formations or to counter enemy aircraft. Classified as Low Tier Summoning Magic.

National Leader and Goals: Lord Dagoth von Arenberg, his goal is to expand his territory to become a dominant power in the region, to prevent his people from further disasters.

Military Equipment: the foot soldiers use mainly bolt-action rifles with bayonets and a few early machine guns, except for the Varagh Guard, who wear rifles and swords and have a thick metal shield.

  Darkflame Magic
  The mixture of of Dark and Fire magic the mage that developed this coined it the Darkflame for its flame light appearance but black color. The scary thing about Darkflame magic is that unless you use Water Magic, Light magic, or a large volume of water you cannot extinguish it but using Fire magic you can, however, slow down its spread and it can be blocked with Earth Magic. The application can range from small, medium and large type spells.
  
  Small Darkflame Magic
  Required Casters: 1
  
  The Darkflame can be manipulated to become a ball of black flame that can extend 6 feet from the caster and a assortment of shapes(Sword, Shield, Spear) of black flames so as to be useful in close encounters you would find yourself in, thus leading to Darkflame Casters to be proficient melee users.
  
  Medium Darkflame Magic

Motto: Barukh Khazad! Khazad ai Menu!

Flag:

Name: High Empire of the Dwarrowfolk

Magical, Technological, or a Mix of both: A mix, with respect towards the Fire Mages of their God but more reliant on technology

Religion, if any: The Dwarves believe in Mahal, their creator, who forged them from stone.

Backstory/Lore: The Seven Dwarf Kings of Old ruled, disparate and fractured. But as technology began to gain a stronger and stronger foothold, and Humans rose to prominence, the Dwarves saw the writing on the wall - Unite or be eliminated, like the many magical creatures being purged. With this in mind, they conferred for seven years, choosing from among them a High Emperor to unite the seperate kingdoms and bring them forth into this new age, where technology held its ground. And so, from the Seven Elector Families the High Emperor would be elected. For five hundred years this system has persisted, with the last two hundred having a hegemon for the Durin family. But the old Emperor Dain is dead at two hundred fifty six, leaving his son Durin behind. The intrigues of the elector families may well bring the end of this era.

With a lack of meritocracy - much favor being put towards the noble families rather than the greatest candidate, as well as the need for a good bureaucracy, corruption is rampant in the Dwarven Kingdom. But the people of the High Empire are happy and pleased under the reign of the High Emperor, and so happiness is not nearly as bad in a regular empire.

Territory, include capitol and other urban area locations:

Red: Khazad Dum, capital and home to 6,000,000 Dwarves
Yellow: Erebor, Nogrod, Belegost, Aglarond, Gundabad, Orocarni, Azanulbizar
Population:
113,455,200
Government Type:
Elective Empire
Government Rank:
Empire
Military:
495,000 Regulars - a solid mix between melee warriors and riflemen.
2000 Imperial Guard. Imperial guards wear mithril
3500 howitzer artillery pieces ( most being bolted to stationary platforms for the defense of the mountains - about 800 are mobile for use)
20 heavy, four legged 'swift-walkers' designed for rapidly taking enemy positions through defense networks, armed with two cannons and two machine guns - good for taking a beating and dropping men off safely at critical objectives, but their comparative weakness in transport capability and light armament leaves them less favored than the mightier ships of the Land Fleet.
40 light tank class walkers, two legged walkers with a cannon and machine gun that can pepper enemy lines, take small arms fire and return largely unharmed, though their weakness is in the viewport, which is glass.
1200 single crew runner class walkers, designed for reconnaisance and small attacks on enemy lines - no actual armaments, though men in the walkers carry a revolver.
600 Courier class transport walkers, designed for transporting men and munitions around the mountains - no weapons save for a light machine gun.
8,000 pilots
200 fighter planes
300 bomber planes
150 reconnaisance planes
20,000 support troops - artillery, machine gun crews, etc. (about 5500 machine guns are used, with two to a team)
4800 Walker crewmen.
20,000 reserve soldiers spread out for garrisoning the posts that control mountain passes and the gates to cities.
27 experimental 'walkers' - six legged mechanical creatures ranging from the size of a corvette to a dreadnaught, designed for mountain travel but good in other biomes. The walkers in the military are armed with cannons and machine guns, but there are hundreds of civilian walkers usually used to replace trains for transporting people between the cities - none of these are larger than a corvette, however, and are not designed for military use.
1 Dreadnaught class walker, the Royal Gem, - the pride of the Dwarven military, this walker has twelve artillery pieces, twenty machine guns, and four hundred twenty crewmen. 3 destroyer class walkers, the Mithril Fist, Sapphire's Sheen, and Mahal's Might. Armed with 3 artillery pieces, 6 machine guns and crewed by five hundred men, the Frigate class walkers are a force to be reckoned with. 23 corvette class walkers, about 50 feet in length and mainly used for transporting troops, with three machine guns and a single cannon, as well as 30 crewmen.



Military Equipment:
The Mark IV Altordorf standard infantry rifle is used as the main rifle for infantry - similar to our short mag lee enfield (1903 edition)
View attachment 388508
The 'Goblin-Killer' Class 6 Buumcannon is used for most artillery pieces, equivalent in armament to a 135mm howitzer.

The standard machine gun is the Bruzhkil 415 standard machine gun, roughly analogous to a 1917 browning machine gun.

Standard uniform is a brown warm coat, cotton shirt, cotton pants, leather boots, and iron helmet with fringe all around

but closer to 4'6"
Royal Guard have a pike and revolver, as well as a mithril breastplate and finely worked steel armor - largely for decoration, but good for preventing civil wars. The Royal Guards are eunuchs and thus incapable of taking the throne.


National Leader and Goals:
In flux currently, as the election is underway
See the continued survival of all dwarfkind


Other: a good portion of the dwarven power is drawn from geothermal vents.
