  • Virtually universally despised, being the first chainers and the ones responsible of unleashing the plague on the world.

-INDUSTRY and MONEY-
Major Industries: Mostly everything has to be imported, their major industry is producing absolutely crystal clear glass products from the sand/blood of their god which they infuse with magic and use it as any material they might need. Creating crystal boats, swords, shields and whatever else.

  • Massive ecological damage from the lack of tree-cover and punishment by gods.

-INDUSTRY and MONEY-

Position: God-Fearers

Internal Problems:
  • Resource and tech poor.
  • Overpopulation, massive amounts of people on three small islands.
  • Becoming an ashipu [leaders of society] requires communing with the gods and dabbling in strange arts, from dealing with spirits to taking of psychoactive substances. Ashipu themselves are twisted and terrifying creatures, then humans.

-INDUSTRY and MONEY-
Major Industries: Terrace gardens and fishing provide most of the food for a high population, and while it is...adequate, it is barely more than that. Most resources are purchased by alchemical or magical services.

Internal Problems:
  • Low Population.
  • Strictly aesthetic, very expansionist society, not allowed to drink, eat meat, or engage in song bubbling from inside to wake up the gods around them.
  • Having lost half of their population in one of their gods waking up, they are still rebuilding society and military. There is a lot of internal strife, despite centralization.

Name: Thirteen Cities of Denython
Player: LBJ

Stability: Low
Centralization: Mediocre

-SOCIAL-
Population: 3,175,532

Position: Neutral

Internal Problems:
  • All magic is blood magic, and requires sacrifice to sustain and create.
  • Slave revolts : due to the above, the people need large amounts of slaves to sacrifice, knowing their fate, they often revolt, though never successful
  • Disunited people : While the thirteen cities are strong in their own right, they are divided and fight amongst themselves, leaving them vulnerable to the outside world.

-INDUSTRY and MONEY-
Major Industries: Their cultures are city and sheep farming based, due to being fire-resistant to an extent, they have some of the best bronze forgers, who touch and shape the bronze with their own hands. They also export slaves.

Stability: Low

-SOCIAL-
Population: 572 772
Position: Neutral

Internal Problems:
  • Cursed to wander- Though the occasional castaway may find succor amongst his marked but civilized kin, the Shoal does not found villages, not build forts.
  • Scavengers- they have no shipwrights, no forges, no farmers. Many goods necessary to their survival must be bought- or else stolen.
  • Chaotic -The downside of the Shoal’s following of undisciplined opportunists and aspirants is that they’re more like a partially-trained animal than a weapon.

-INDUSTRY and MONEY-
Major Industries: The Shoal is not a civilization of villages, farms, and cities, but of people and ships. Its fleet, by virtue of being both home and weapon of war, is huge, and its best warships are a fearsome match for those of great empires, and crewed by lifelong sailors.
Merchant Fleet: virtually none, as most trade is done by the warships themselves

Internal Problems:
  • Island City and is vulnerable to Blockades has fallen victim to both before only barely surviving
  • Main threat is the neighboring Kingdom of Mahayagah.
  • Piracy has recently hit the city massively, their fleet is not enough to effortlessly push the pirates away. Meaning they have to rely on Mercenaries, who are not always effective.

-INDUSTRY and MONEY-
Major Industries: The largest trade port in the Western Sea makes the city the place where one can get anything they need or desire. Home to a Holy Shrine that holds a well said to be blessed by Ibu Pertiwi (Mother Earth) herself many pilgrims from afar travel to the city, and features the world's best diplomats, able to wrestle anything with their silver tongues.

Internal Problems:
  • The Citizen Assembly is divided between two opposed political factions. This makes agreement hard to come by when the interests of the two are opposed, and both fear a coup by the other faction.
  • The engine of their economic prosperity relies on the import of slaves. Social inequality is on the increase.
  • With their economy based on trade, they are vulnerable to anything that reduces this, such as losing control of the sea in war, plagues making the city have to be quarantined by other nations, or economic collapses in their own city or elsewhere that wreck the interdependent web of commerce.

-INDUSTRY and MONEY-
Major Industries: The largest trade port in the Eastern Sea makes the city the place where one can get anything they need or desire. The city prospers from industry and trade, and not even the slaves go hungry from this bounty

  • Huge income inequality, the citizens are fine, but the newly arrived immigrants are pushed to the side, as well as poorer citizens that are pushed out of the production cycle
