  History: The history of Carranon is bloody and cruel, filled with backstabs, lies, and other nefarious acts. Since the Great War, Carranon has exploited its dominance, puppeteering the other nations into serving it, supplying its rich with goods whilst the kingdom's poor work in the mines.
  
  Behavior: Known generally for being cruel and merciless because of their latest king, the Carronians have dominated the world's political and economic theatre, exploting the resources and governments of the surrounding nations to serve their own purposes.

  Millitary: They have a powerful millitary, with strong knights, impressive walls of infantry, but poor archers. Their cavalry is skilled and heavily armored, but not as skilled as that of Duraqiim, or anywhere near as fast. Their archers are militia at best, but their true power lies in their infantry.

    Backstory: King Davarsi I of Carranon had always been a bit of a recluse, never partaking in the extravagent balls and parties his father hosted. For he knew the trouble his kingdom faced. The surrounding nations were angry towards Carranon, eager to spill the blood of the tyrant kingdom. He would not let this happen. Through an ingenoius string of convenient dissapearances, political marriages, and lots and lots of bribes, he felt secure. But old age had come upon him, and he had many children, and many enemies. The honorable fools of the other houses believed in "Honor", but he did not. He would use his children, to make "allies" of his enemies. And when they least expected it........ Carranon would reign supreme.

  - Name: Princess Cedany Helena Carranon
    
    Appearance:
    
    ((Cedany often wears extremely bright colors and revealing dresses, just as a little side note.))
    
    Gender: Female
    
    Age: 23
    
    House of Origin: Carronon
    
    Skills: Cedany can speak a variety of diffrent languages, she knows all of the royal families and all thier dirty secrets. She is very good at history and intrigue and makes a point to know everything about everyone and everything. She also has slight power over the earth element, but she never uses it so it is fairly wealk
    
    Weaknesses: The commonwealth don't like Cedany, and she is always the target for hate and blame among the masses. The politicians can also see that she is a dangerous woman, therefore there are constantly attempts on her life.
    
    Personality: Cedany is a determined person, she will probably get what she wants if you aren't careful. She is also pretty cold, She isn't afraid to kill anyone who gets in her way. The problem is that all of this is sometimes hard to see because she can be so charming. Most of the other royal families regard her as a beautiful and innocent lady who is kind and loyal to the end, because that is what she wants them to see. She is not loyal, but she is very loving to a select few. As contradictory as it may sound, she loves her brothers and sisters but she is not afraid to sabotage them to get her slice of the power pie.
    
    Backstory: Cedany was married at the age of just 15. Her husband was an old politician that her father had made a promise to. Her husband, Lord Salis was nearly 40 years old. Cedany absolutely despised him and her father for doing such an awful thing as marrying her to him. During the unhappy marriage, Cedany fell in love with a handsome knight. The knight reconized Cedany's affections and returned them. His name was Sir Gussalen After a little bit, Cedany was pregnant. Everyone thought it was Lord Salis' child, but it was the young Gudsalen's. Gudsalen was filled with guilt and told Cedany he would be heart broken if Salis was the one to raise his child. Shortly after the child was born, Salis fell deadly ill. The sickness spread quickly and killed him in only a few hours. That was Cedany's first kill. In an event of extreme irony and tragedy, Gudsalen was killed on a hunting trip. So Cedany was left to raise her daughter, Thea, on her own.

  - Name: Kaervek the Merciless
    
    Appearance:
    
    Gender: male
    
    Age: 32
    
    Nation of Origin: Carranon
    
    Skills: Sword and shield
    
    Weaknesses: Illiterate, self-serving, alcoholist, nihilist
    
    Personality: A sellsword, Kaervek is known for his gruff exterior and selfish interior. His services belong to the highest bidder, and he will do almost anything given enough money. He is rude and direct to both his rivals and employers, causing many to dismiss him as a dumb brute, but he is surprisingly shrewd for an uneducated mercenary. Outside of work, he can usually be found in a shady bar, drinking by himself with a gloomy expression, clearly trying to forget something.
    
    Backstory: For as long as he could remember young Kaervek wanted to be knight, to defeat evildoers and save princesses. His commoner status made knighthood impossible, but he joined the army at the earliest opportunity. The Carranon army wasn't as glamorous as he hoped, but he liked the discipline of military life and he showed much promise in the infantry.
    
    That all changed when one night, he caught his captain raping a girl. Like a true hero, he tried to save the girl and fought his superior, it did not go as planned. The captain swiftly beat him, and he was court-martialed. When he tried to explain his reasons, they brought in the girl for testimony. Unbeknowst to Kaervek, the captain had threatened the girl, so it came as a shock to him when the girl pointed at him as the rapist.
    
    Convicted of assault of a superior officer and rape Kaervek was sentenced to slave labour in the mines for 10 years. When he came out, the young idealist was no more, what was left was the broken shell of a man, seemingly stripped of all compassion. Now Kaervek travels the world, making money the only way he knows how, fighting and killing. His skill and brutality made him infamous in many regions of the world. Recently, the Patrician of Taccolo hired him as a bodyguard during his journey to Caileith, having arrived there, he now seeks a new job.
  - Name: Prince Carlisle E. Carranon

    Weaknesses: The farther he is away from land the weaker he becomes, Untrusting, Nightmares
    
    Personality: Carlisle is a flirt and believes in chivalry and treating a lady right, but is cynical romantic himself. Romance isn't something he believes in and yet he acts and behaves in a way that makes it appear that he does think it's real. He's willing to charm his way into anyone's heart if it means he gets the job done. Even with his romantic nature he is a warrior true and true.
    
    Backstory: Carlisle used to idolize because he thought he was different, but turns out that he was just like all the other rulers around and had his own dirty little secret he didn't want anyone to know about; still he still had a begrudging respect for his father and worked hard, becoming apart of the royal guard. At one point in time he had an arranged marriage with a beautiful woman named Illiana, and he had come to love her over their time spent together, but one night when they went to sleep together Carlisle woke late in the eve and overheard his soon to be wife plotting against him with her secret lover.

  Banner/Sigil:
  
  Royal Family:
  
  History: Once the rulers of a powerful empire, the Sea Lords, or as they were once called, the Fiolar, were defeated by a joint effort of several kingdoms. Now, they live on massive floating cities that drift with the sea current, ever moving from those who would wish to exact vengeance. During the Great War, the Fiolar warred upon lesser kingdoms, believably wiping them off the face of the planet. Because of this, the Fiolar were viewed as the main threat, causing many nations to join together to fight it. The Fiolar were decimated, surrendering, and taking to the seas in massive city ships.
  
  Now, their nomadic fleets have grown mighty, and soon, the Sea Lords shall take to the lands again.
  
  Behavior: The Sea Lords are hell-bent upon returning to their homeland, taking from them by Carranon. They are vicious, mostly merciless, and take advantage of weakness.
  
  Millitary: The millitaristic forces of the Fiolar are entirely composed of their navy, the best in the world. The closest things they have to soldiers are their marines. They have several hundred vessels, and around 10,000 in their spread-out millitary.

- - Heartie Corsair
  - Name: Heartie Corsair, Captain of the Red Carp
    
    Appearance:
    
    Gender: Female
    
    Age: 30
    
    Nation of Origin: Fiolar
    
    Skills: Sailing, Navigating, Swordfighting
    
    Weaknesses: Coarse, Greed, Anger
    
    Personality: Rude and with a short temper, Heartie has been in enough scaffles and bar-fights to earn infamy in every port town. Most bartenders have learned to hide the expensive drinks when they spot a sailor making unflattering advances towards the striking redhead.
    
    Backstory: A smuggler and a pirate, Heartie has no political allegiances outside of her ship and crew, but she has a soft spot for her home Fiolar. She had a difficult start as a woman captain of a crew consisting entirely out of criminals, but she eventually earned the respect of her crew and the fear of her enemies. She endearingly calls her men 'lads', regardless of their actual age.
- House Name: DARAAQIM
  
  Continent: Vaaya
  
  Homeland: Shaabath (The desert section of Vaaya)
  
  Specialties:
  - Masters Of The Saddle: The people of Shaabath are some of the most skilled horsemen Ielyth has seen. Their heavily armored Mamlukes are more than an equal match for any knight, and their light cavalry and horse archers can out maneuver almost any force, picking them to pieces while the main force draws in.
  - Spice Monopoly: Vaaya is the only continent where valuable spices like Saffron, Vanilla, and Ginger can be found, alongside many others. The only other kingdom with natural access is the Mayana Kingdom, but even they lack the abundant supply available to the Shaabathi. This abundance of spice allows the Shaabathito make quite a lot of money.
  - Hardy Folk: Being from the desert, the Shaabathi are hardy, and are more effective than most others when fighting in heat.
  Banner/Sigil:
  
  Royal Family: Open
  
  History: Even since before the Great War, its people have lived in the vast desert of Vaaya, unchallenged in their reign. They even owned a large portion of land on the mainland. However, during the beginning stages of the Great War, they were surprised attack by Carranon, and made one of its vassals. Deeper into the war however, the Shabaahi rebelled, freeing itself from foreign control, launching a counter attack against them. The two nations fought bitterly, neither able to best the other. Eventually, they agreed upon a peace treaty, Carranon kicking the Shabaathi out. but peace was ever unstable between them.
  
  Behavior: Rather isolationist, House Duraqiim does not normally involve itself in conflicts. When it does, it will not stop until whoever has dared to attack it is dead, or kneels to it's lord. House Duraqiim will normally not declare war without being attacked first, unless they are extremely desperate.
  
  Millitary: Strong and powerful, the millitary of the Shaabathi is able to defend itself. Its strength lies in its cavalry, superior to any other. However, their infantry are equipped in light armor and with rather light weaponry as to not succumb to the desert weather, and their archers wield short bows, which lack the range and power of other bows, such as the Longbow. Because of this, their infantry and archers are inferior to most others.
- ELEMENT NAME: Sand
  
  ELEMENT USAGE: Manipulation of sand, sandstorms, formation of sandstone, being able to sense things through sand.
  
  ASSOSCIATED MAGICAL CREATURE: Sand Serphant
  
  The Sand Serphants are brutal, vicious creatures, able to burrow through sand and survive the scorching desert heat. They are the highest predators of the desert. They are normally 40 feet in length.
  
  COST: Any use of the sand element brings fatigue. The use of the element relies entirely on the individual, so few are skilled at it, and most who are, are either blind, depth, or both. Excessive use may cause loss of senses, and loss of life.
  
  WHEN CAN YOU USE IT: Sand needs to be nearby. They cannot summon or create sand, there has to be sand already present.
- - Lady Emira Duraqiim
  - Abar Duraqiim
  - Name: Lady Emira Duraqiim "The Bastard", "The Young Serphant", "SwordDancer", Lady of the city of Duna, head of House Duraqiim, and Ruler of the Shaabatha People.
    
    Appearance:
    
    With a scar on the right side of her face, crossing over an eye, which is forever shut, traveling a centimeter or so away from her nose, before crossing over her lips and to her chin. Because of it, her lips are crooked on the right side of her mouth.
    
    Gender: Female
    
    Age: 26
    
    House of Origin: House Duraqiim
    
    Skills: An incredibly skilled rider, sword wielder, and tactician, honorable, honest, fearless.
    
    Weaknesses: Brash arrogance, quick to anger, stubborn, proud, honorable, politically clumsy, honest, diplomatically unskilled, discredited by many because of her gender, bastard blood, and physical appearance.
    
    Personality: A warrior by heart, there is little she fears, especially not stating her opinion. She is mostly honest, preferring to be quite open about her opinion of others instead of the lies and social and political games many other highborns play. After all, she is a bastard. On that topic, she is quite proud of her bastard heritage, even though her father was the youngest son of probably the worst ruler in Shaabathi history, and her mother was a lowly tavern maid. She can be kind to those she deems worth the kindness, although, like a snake, she is venomous to those she dislikes. Whether a snarky, sarcastic remark, or a scimitar through the heart, she is equally ruthless to foes. But on the down side, she is not too skilled politically or diplomatically, being easily outdone by most other nobles, or, hell, just about anyone for that matter.
    
    Backstory: Thirty years ago, a new Lord became ruler of the Shaabathi. Lord, Jaakt Duraqqim "The Foolish". He had many sons, all of them equally stupid, and with his sons, all except the youngest, he marched North, to the Mayana Mountains, to siege the Shaabathi's age-long rivals. The Mayana, heavily outnumbered and out armed, used the mountains and jungles of their homeland to ambush the Shaabathi troops, whipping them back, beaten and bruised to their home. However, several more invasions later, over after many years of war, the Mayana responded. They marched out of the mountains, with a new army of almost ten thousand men and women. The Shabaathi were beaten back all the way to Duna, their ancient capitol, where the Lord and all his sons perished. For several years, the Mayana occupied all of Shaabath, till one day, the bastard daughter of the youngest son came of age, and took her people's fate into her own hands. She arose those still loyal to the name of Duraqiim, and fought against the Mayana for their independance. In a matter of two years, the Mayana had returned to their mountains, Shaabath under Duraqqim rule once again. A true force to be reckoned with, Emira has been invited to Carranon by Davarsi in an attempt to settle her lust for battle, and her wish to break free of Carranonian rule once and for all.
    
    But the desert never settles.
  - Name: Abar Duraqiim, Scribe of the Sands

    Backstory: Abar is the older brother of Jaakt Duraqqim "The Foolish", making him Emira's Great-uncle. Unlike his brother, he never wanted to be a warrior or a leader, preferring the company of books and scrolls. When Jaakt became ruler of the Shaabathi and started planning the attack on Mayana, Abar argued against it, but his brother would not listen to him. Since then, he withdrew from politics, spending all his time in the pursuit of knowledge. Even after old age claimed his sight he still records the Shaabathi legacy with the use of assistants. He believes everything should be remembered, as history all too often repeats itself.
- House Name: Mayana
  
  Continent: Vaaya
  
  Homeland: Mayana
  
  Specialties:
  - Mountain Folk: The Mayana hail from the Mayana Mountains, on the continent of Vaaya. Because of the rapidly changing temperatures unique to their home, the Mayana are resistant to most temperatures.
  - Brave: The Mayana people will fight to the last man to defend what is theirs.
  - Bountiful Homeland: The Mayna have access to plenty of resources, including a small amount of the spices the Shaabati jealously guard.
  Banner/Sigil:
  
  History: The Mayana occupied a small mountain range in the mainland. During the war however, they were abused and conqered several different times, until they fled the continent. They arrived in Vaaya, stealing the Northern Mountain ranges from the Shaabathi, causing the grudge between the two that continues to this day.
  
  Behavior: The Mayana have always been peaceful, speaking openly, and giving sage advice. Even in war, they are kind, burying their opponent's dead, and sparing all who flee or surrender.
  
  Millitary: The Mayana millitary is massive, fielding thousands upon thousands of men and women, all willing to fight to the last. However, the Mayana are poorly equipped, ((They are basically Aztecs, but without blood sacrifice)).

    Age: 25
    
    House of Origin: Mayana
    
    Skills: Element of Air, diplomacy, courage
    
    Weaknesses: Hesitant, indecisive, naïve
    
    Personality: A kind soul, but very unsure about her own ability. Since the people of Mayana have a great resistance to changing temperatures, she doesn't understand the other countries' need to wear so many clothes, nor why Carranon's higher born make such a big fuss about her wardrobe.
    
    Backstory: Azira became queen recently, after her mother passed away. She's had quite a sheltered upbringing, still being quite naïve in the ways of the worlds. So far she still depends heavily on her advisors, and tries to maintain and emulate her mother's achievements. Time will tell what sort of ruler she'll become after gaining more experience.

Ever since that day, he has served truly, faithfully, and skillfully.
    
    Other: More to come!
- Altishar
  
  Continent: Aldar
  
  Homeland: The Eternal Forest
  
  Royal Element: Life
  
  Specialties:
  - Long Lived: The people of Altishar are peculiarly long lived, aging much more slowly than those of other regions. It is not uncommon to find new mothers and fathers at ages that would be preposterous in more normal regions. It is rumored that the people of Altishar use dark magics to keep themselves alive for such a long time, but the truth is less esoteric - there is an unusual (and very closely guarded) fruit which seems to slow the aging process, and which the Altisharans use to keep themselves healthy. That, plus the lack of sun damage from living under the canopies keeps them alive for longer and looking young until they are much older.
  - Subterfuge: While other countries are well known for their political subterfuge, the Altisharans are known for their ability to hide their plans and people, seemingly leaping out of the shadows to ambush their enemies and rout them before they even know what has happened. It is rare to find an Altisharan when they do not want you to see them, and the paths in the forests seem to twist upon themselves without a native guide.
  - Ivory and Ebony: Altishar is one of the few suppliers, and the only suppliers of any real note, of Ivory and rare woods, and this trade has been immensely profitable for the isolated nation. Traders often come to the borders of the forest at specialized trading depots where natives trade their exotic ivory and woodworked items. Bulk orders of the special materials are also made, on a case by case basis so as not to overstress supply, but no one truly knows how much Altishar is capable of producing.
  Behaviour: The Altisharans are known mostly for their secretiveness and desire to remain outside the public eye. However, as cultural transfer increases, the Altisharans are becoming increasingly known for their impressive hospitality. Among political opponents, the royal family of Altishar is known for its trustworthiness and its regard for agreements - at the same time, their fierce nature is feared when relations turn sour.
  
  Military: The military of Altishar is quite involved - it has all the trappings of a modern military and is, indeed, part of a standing army. The decision to modernize the forces was recent, after the first failed invasion of the Altishar homeland. Still, the same basic premise is followed - extensive animal and magical support, designed to confuse and terrify the enemy. Any survivors must be driven mad with fear, talking of demons and the like. The footmen of Altishar mostly travel through the trees and utilize specialized cutting tools and compound bows. They are rightfully feared by other armies, but Altishar has no taste for cavalry, and outside the confines of forested areas their military tactics do not do quite as well.
  
  History:
  
  Altishar has a long history shrouded in the forests their people are known for manipulating. Long ago a single cheiftan united the various tribes living within the Eternal Forest, and Altishar was born. The borders are often said to stop at the forest edge, but in practice their influence is felt many miles further as residents of other nations do not dare venture to close to the woods of Altishar. It is rumored that the trees speak among themselves and whisper about cruel punishments for those who would violate the sacred woods.
  
  The one and only inquest into conquering Altishar ended in an absolute disaster. There had been previous skirmishes, and fevered whispers about hunting parties going missing with not a soul alive to tell the tale, but most did not give heed to such rumors until a neighboring nation sought to test them. Ten thousand soldiers marched into the forests, intent on finding and eliminating the tribesmen and claiming the valuable resources within. But within days a scattered group of only a hundred had fled the forests describing mad fantasies of enemies leaping from the trees among vicious animals as darkness enveloped the entire formation. Nearly all was lost to the forest.
  
  Shortly after this aggression, the first emissaries from Altishar emerged and created official trade routes and alliances with neighboring nations. The first to agree were the ones that had originally tried to conquer Altishar. Since then, Altishar has created quite a name for itself with its interesting wares and people unused to travel and cultural export - some anthropologists have even been guided deep within the claustrophobic paths into the heartland of Altishar, where glorious cities spread out from the canopy.
  
  Recently, politics in the heartland has been complicated, and the previous clan had died off, naming Aeneas as their successors. His actions have been met with a certain level of nervousness as he seeks to open Altishar to even more foreign dignitaries, hoping to secure a solid place in the world as allegiances shift around them.
- Life
  
  Purview: The element of Life is complicated - it does not deal with human beings in a direct sense (i.e., healing) but with nature. Mastery of this element is mastery over all flora - it can be used to manipulate the very structure of vines and roots, enveloping enemies in a cocoon of green, or it can be used to bring verdant greenery where there was none before. When used offensively, it can be terrifying as it ensnares and entraps those who dare oppose the masters of life.
  
  Cost:Unfortunately, with great power comes great responsibility. Life magics can only be used in the presence of strong life forces - it draws life energy from the things around it and from the very sun itself. In an emergency, the very life force of the user can be called upon. However, this suicidal maneuver is rarely utilized - though a human's life force can supply power for vast and terrible magics, it will eventually be exhausted and tends to make the one supplying the power considerably weaker. Usually, it absorbs the life force of nearby animals or plants - anything that could be considered alive, though it does tend to put out more living things than it takes in, as the Sun provides a ready (but small) source of potential energy. Essentially, the Sun acts as a multiplier, but life energy is required as an initial sacrifice.
  
  Magical Creature:The magical creature most associated with Life magic is the Treant, a sort of sentient keeper of the forest. These large, rare, lumbering titans are unknown anywhere but the Eternal Forest, and until the recent opening of the forest till outsiders, was considered a myth. Treants are not fond of outsiders, though they work closely with Altisharan monks and shamans. They guard the forest against intruders, and remove old and dying trees before their vulnerability becomes a problem. They are fairly intelligent, but difficult to communicate with and slow. It takes them much time to ramble through a coherent thought, but it is wise to listen to them. Their numbers are not well understood, nor is their method of procreation. Some even believe they are the spirits of especially pious Altisharans, though there is no real evidence of this myth.
- - Aeneas
  - Name: Aeneas, Khoja of the Altishar Kingdom
    
    Age: 39
    
    Gender: Male
    
    House: Head of House Aeneas, ruling clan of Altishar
    
    Skills: Aeneas is unparalleled in his mastery over his peoples' element, Life. He is equally masterful in his ability to manipulate a spear - but mastery over as rambunctious a people as the Altisharan's cannot be maintained through solely martial means. He is a skilled negotiator and orator, and his knowledge of both the forests his people call home and the political landscape surrounding them is exalted among his people.
    
    Weaknesses: While Aeneas is skilled at leading his military and his people, he is rather vulnerable to... carnal delights. He is easily distracted by a pretty maiden (or swain!) and promises of alcohol and good food. In addition, while the details of his nation are shrouded in the same darkness of the forest around them, Aeneas is not particularly good at keeping secrets - especially when the right person asks at the right time.
    
    Personality: Aeneas is a man devoted to living life to the fullest, and ensuring his people's safety. His goals are not to destroy the other factions, and he has no urges to control more territory than that allotted by fate - but he will fight if he has to. Ethically, he has no qualms about using subversive and arguably illicit measures - psychological warfare is an effective deterrent to war, after all. That being said, if you offer your services in friendship or alliance, he will defend you and your people to the death.
    
    As mentioned, he is prone to engaging in more than one of the traditional vices, and he sees no reason to a life lived without pleasure. So long as those pleasures do not endanger his wards, he is happy to engage in anything offered. A loose tongue often accompanies egregious amounts of alcohol, and Aeneas is no stranger to alcohol or loosing secrets on wary ears. Those who work closely with him have learned to not communicate important information till well after its secretive nature has passed.
    
    While other nations might see his... wanderings as counter to a virtuous and family oriented life, it is not unusual among his people. So long as he remains utterly devoted to his wife and children in every other format, it is seen as normal - and Aeneas is devoted to his family. He wishes to see his first daughter on the throne of Altishar after he passes on, and has worked hard on establishing positions for his other children. Those who make vicious rumors about his family members often learn to regret their mistakes as the wrath of the Tiger is unleashed upon them.
    
    History: Aeneas was born within the capital of Altishar, Cele. He was raised as a son to the Khoja of the kingdom before him, but was never formally adopted into the family. The previous Khoja had no heirs, and was apparently sterile, so would produce none, and he took that as a sign that his house was finished. Aeneas' first acts as Khoja of Altishar was to increase trade with neighboring nations, and open up relations with the Kingdom of Carranon. While this was fairly unpopular with his people, he knew that the only way to bring Altishar into a new era was to work with the other powers of Ielyth, even against his people's wishes.
    
    Shortly after being crowned Khoja, Aeneas found himself flush with various suitors who desired power among his people, but he married the woman that he had fallen in love with as a normal man, a young maiden who ran an inn near the palace of Cele. He is currently in the process of securing a powerful place for himself and his people in the world, so that they can usher in a new era of peace and prosperity.

- House Name: Elegantí Floe
  
  Continent: Aldar
  
  Homeland: Averta
  
  Royal Element: Ice
  
  Specialties:
  - The Kingdom of Floe is one of the greatest blacksmith lands of the time and well known for their weaponry and crafty swordmanship
  - Avertians can endure extremities of cold climates, but do not fare as well in hot climates
  - The House of Floe's is one of the wealthiest kingdoms around thanks to the riches found buried in its land and rivers
  Banner/Sigil:
  
  Royal Family: Queen Evanescence
  
  (OPEN SPOTS)
  
  History: The House of Floe -for short- has always been separated from the its brother and sister homelands due to the fact that Avertians tend to dwell in abnormally cold climates, but they were notably a lot friendlier in the past. Over time the kingdom began to grow and like any growing civilization would do, they began to take over warmer lands near them and began to freeze them for their own use, not caring or thinking about the possible repercussions. Because of that there were many times in that time period when they would find themselves directly in the middle of The Great War and lost much of the kingdom's valuable land. The Avertians are still bitter in the hearts over the loss, and are not as open to other lands.
  
  Behavior: The House of Floe has honor, but does not bother to assist or involve themselves in the affairs of other Houses. The only thing they care about is protecting their land and its resources and will not bite unless provoked. When it comes to getting what they want or insulting their honor they become a sinister, ruthless, cunning, and deceitful kingdom that knows no boundaries.
  
  Millitary: The Avertian Military is well and impressively suited with top of the line weaponry and armor. Although they lack a cavalry, due to the constant cold of their homeland, their infantry is swift and efficient and makes up for it with their great swordsmen and archers. The Avertian Millitary is disciplined, strategic, and terrifying when they go to battle.
  
  Other: The House of Floe's motto is to kill them with kidness, and if that doesn't work, you kill them with the nearest object.
- ELEMENT NAME: Ice
  
  ELEMENT USAGE: Can manipulate frozen water
  
  ASSOSCIATED MAGICAL CREATURE: Witch or Water Nymph
  
  COST: Too much ice usage makes her burn up and feverish
  
  WHEN CAN YOU USE IT: As long as there's cool water (or ice) somewhere Evanescence can freeze it into a solid form and control it. She cannot control liquid water, only solid, and cannot freeze boiling water, but can freeze steam.
- - Queen Evanescence Floe
  - Name: Queen Evanescence Floe
    
    Appearance:
    
    Gender: Female
    
    Age: 48
    
    House of Origin: House of Elegantí
    
    Skills: Charming, a sharp tongue, keen eyes, quick and cunning, knowledge of the lands
    
    Weaknesses: Flattery, Her hands stiff and uncooperative, children, not knowing what she's up against
    
    Personality: Evanescence is an intelligent woman with a cruel sinister smile that says she's anything but the grandmother who fed you cookies. She cunning and charming at the same time. She's very proper and despises when someone is disrespectful to their elder. Although she is not on the best of terms with the other Houses at times she always puts on a smile and gives them her attention and respect when in their presence even if she does not like them. But her kindness is merely a facade these days, and if you test her she will not hesitate to reveal the violent "no second chances" woman beneath.
    
    Backstory:
    
    Evanescence was married off as a young woman to king of the Floe House and even though she did not love the elder man she was to call her husband she cared for him as if she did. She was a faithful wife for most of their time together, but after a couple years had passed something had changed in the neutral relationship between them. The elderly man was demanding things of her that Evanescence would never do no matter what the status of the person who requested it was, but even when he spat on her and called her disgusting names she was still respectful to her husband. That was until he laid hands on her. Evanescence had been raised and taught to be respectful and a good wife, but her mother always told her that she should never tolerate being abused and thrown around like a sack of meat. So the next time the king had tried to laid hands on her, Evanescence defended herself and stabbed him. Instantly after the murder of her husband Evanescence went into a sort of panic, but recovered quickly becoming indifferent to the man bleeding out on the floor. She had her servants clean up the mess and the body, and when had members of the kingdom cover up the murder of the king by saying he had died of old age -a reasonable excuse since the man was 80 or so at the time- and from that point on something changed in Evanescence and she became the firm ruler of the House of Floe, and the death of the king was never spoken of again unless the death penalty was wanted.
    
    Other:
- Taccola
  
  Continent: Vaaya
  
  Homeland: A city-state situated between the Duraqiim and Mayana houses
  
  Specialties:
  - Trade: Taccolo sports one of the largest harbors and it's an important stop for several trade routes. The merchant's guild wields a lot of power in the city, and they ensure that plenty of commerce flows through Taccola.
  - Assassination: The city's notoriously unstable power structure has made murder a popular way to advance in the ranks. Everyone who is anyone in this town has either a killer on payroll or has enough funds to hire the services of the elite and mysterious Assassin's Guild.
  - Espionage: Taccola depends on the trade of other countries for it's survival, and it has virtually no army of it's own. As such, it makes extensive use of spies to keep tabs on other nations and discern possible threats. There has been a long-standing debate among foreign generals which nations' spies are better, Taccola or Anguis.
  Behaviour: Pragmatic, doing whatever it takes to get the job done. At best, they never let anything distract them from their goals, at worst, they'll shamelessly blackmail or assassinate anyone who gets in their way. It is a culture where many consider sending an assassin to kill someone a compliment. Not that surprising, given how much an assassin costs these days.
  
  Military: Besides the city guard, none whatsoever. Taccolo depends on trade and preemptive assassination for safety. If its citizens found an invading army in front of the gates, they'll probably sell them a battering ram, then poison the commanding officer's victory toast.
  
  Rulership: The royal line of Taccola has long since been extinguished. The city-state is ruled by a Patrician, who is 'elected' by the guilds.
  
  History: Taccola used to be a small but wealthy kingdom, but then the great war came. In the conflict, Taccola was one of the big losers, suffering defeat after defeat against the more seasoned enemy soldiers. The people lost all respect for the incompetent nobility, causing the kingdom to fracture further. Eventually, there was nothing left of Taccola save for the capitol city and a few square kilometers of farmland. By the time the war ended, the royal family had lost almost all of it's power, and the various guilds in the city had taken over.
  
  It didn't take long for the remainder of the royal line and other major noble families to meet with fatal 'accidents'. Around the same time it took for the
  
  mysterious Assassin's Guild to gain influence in the city's underground, quite curious indeed.
  
  However now both the official and unofficial guilds had a problem they didn't foresee. The city now lacked any kind of government, and none of the guilds trusted one another with the job. First they tried a republic, but after all the guild representatives were assassinated in single night, they reconsidered.
  
  Eventually they decided to elect a non-guild member as ruler of the city, usually someone from a surviving noble family. The idea was to have a figurehead who did the guild's bidding without endangering the ones holding the strings, and for a long time it worked. A patrician's would be elected, given lots of documents to sign without reading them, and would eventually be assassinated when those documents ticked of someone rich and powerful. It was a flawless system, but then Niccolo Ombra became patrician...
- Shadow
  
  Usage: Cloak yourself in shadows to make you less visible (but not invisible)
  
  Limitation: It can only be used in reasonably shadowy places. So not when it is too bright (non-fractured sunlight is definetely a no go) nor when it is too dark (there are no shadows when it's pitch dark)
  
  Cost:Strong light hurts you and limits your eyesight when using the element.
  
  Magical Creature: Corvids
- - The Patrician
  - Shadowdancer
  - Name: Niccolo Ombra
    
    Gender: male
    
    Age: 45
    
    House of Origin: House Ombra, a minor noble family in the old kingdom, but a house that managed to adapt to the changing times and thus survive them.
    
    Skills: Manipulation, cunning, element of shadow.
    
    Weaknesses: Unstable political position, paranoid.
    
    Personality: Calculating and pragmatic, the current ruler of Taccola knows how to juggle the ambitious and murderous elite of his home. He survived this long by playing his competitors against each other and generally being worth more alive then dead. He wants to further secure his own position and safeguard Taccola's future.
    
    History: Intended to be just a puppet ruler, Ombra has managed to obtain real power as a patrician without getting assassinated for it. In part because he's actually good at his job, under his rule Taccola has managed to regain some of the wealth and power it lost in the great war, even with the sanctions placed on it by Carranon. The other, more important reason for his continued survival is the knowledge that the various guilds hate each other more then they hate him. Most guild leaders prefer a competent neutral leader to a buffoon who could be in a rival guild's pocket. Whatever the cause, Ombra is slowly but surely transferring power from the guilds towards himself, much to the delight of the non-guild populace.
    
    Now, Ombra has taken a big risk by leaving Taccola for Caileth. His goal is the removal of the economic sanctions placed on Taccola by Carranon. This leaves him open for a coup d'etat by one of his more short-sighted rivals, but if he succeeds it will grant him enough power and prestige to become the true ruler of the city-state.
  - Name: Shadowdancer (real name unknown), Personal Assassin to the Patrician
    
    Gender: female
    
    Age: 19
    
    House of Origin: Her ability to use Shadow clearly paints her as either the descendant of fallen house or the basterd child of a minor noble, but nothing more is known.
    
    Skills: Assassination, Daggers, Element of Shadow
    
    Weaknesses: Overconfident, coarse, arrogant, blind loyality
    
    Personality: As the personal assassin and bodyguard of the Patrician of Taccola, Shadow is completely devoted to Niccolo Ombra. In return she can be considered the closest thing Ombra has to a confidant. But that doesn't mean they don't get on each other's nerves now and then.
    
    Shadowdancer is brash and impulsive, traditionally bad qualities for an assassin to have. Some say that without her uncanny affinity with the element of Shadow she would have been killed a long time ago, but those some are definitely not her. Because of her uncompromising attitude she has a hard time making friends in deceitful Taccola, and her honest nature makes many foreigners doubt she truly is from that cesspool of lies and violence. She displayes a remarkeble amount of honor for an assassin, and will go to great lengths for her friends.
    
    History: Born to a single mother in the slums of Taccola, Shadow never had much of a childhood. She'd spend her days fighting for her child-gang and pickpocketing the more fortunate. After her mother died of the plague, she was left with two options to survive: sell her body to a whorehouse or become a full-time thief, she chose the latter. During her new career, she discovered she had the ability to use the element of shadow, a skill only nobility can use. This briefly made her wonder about her father's identity, whom she had never met, but eventually she decided to not wonder about the past and be happy with the gifts she was given. Her thieving career came to an end when one night she tried to rob a carriage. unbeknowst to her, the patrician was inside, travelling incognito. At first he thought it was an assassination attempt, and he attacked the girl and swiftly beat her. When he found out she was just trying to rob him, and after he witnessed her incredible elemental abilities, he decided to take her in and have her trained as an assassin.
    
    As you might've guessed, she's the descendant of royality. But I'm not planning to make it a big plot point. IU The patrician suspects the truth, but he doesn't plan on using this information unless given no other choice.
- House Anguis
  
  Continent
  
  The swamplands of the southern continent
  
  Homeland
  
  The Swamplands
  
  Specialties
  - Espionage
    House Anguis is unrivalled in espionage. It's primary form of espionage deals within crucial killings. Killings so skilled and un-ordinary that a mass majority seem of natural cause. Anguis commonly commits a kill and frames a completely different nation, their primary way of casting away the blame from themselves would be to kill the target, cast blame on another through planted evidence, and then assist the victims in retaliation against those who were framed. Anguis's network of spies and assassins is so tight knit and secretive that in all reality not a single nation knows of Anguis's inner workings, or even that Anguis deals in such cloak and dagger methods. The only nation who knows of Anguis's spies is Taccola. And Taccola truthfully knows only what Anguis wishes them to know.
  [*]Iron Borders
  - House Anguis's borders are like Iron, no one can penetrate them unless Anguis wishes it. No spies, Assassins, or anyone unwanted by Anguis. Those who try in a more secretive manner(Spies/Assassins) are commonly sent back as a head in a jar, commonly filled with horse piss and shit. Those who attempt to enter through more public manners(Commoners/Diplomats/Traders) Are either peacefully sent away, admitted under guard, or forced away by the military.
  [*]Strategy
  - House Anguis's more public call to fame is it's Strategic prowess known throughout the land. A nation built on the art of war it seems, Anguis knows and uses all forms of strategic deception, tacical knowledge, and brilliant technique known to man to surpass all others.
  Family
  
  Various. Open positions. Contact me prior to creating a CS.
  
  History
  
  House Anguis has a long and brutal history that is too chilling to tell of.(As in I'm not doing this right now I'll add it later.)
  
  Behavior
  
  House Anguis's behavior is of a double sided coin laying upon the ground. You have the head which all see and know of, that which they want you to know. But along the backside, the side upon the ground hidden from view, rests a poison that will kill those who dare attempt to flip the coin.
  
  Head side: To all those not apart of the House, Anguis seems like a dark land known for it's brutal strategy and rigiourous training techniques. It holds an isolationist type of foreign policy. Anguis does not forego all political contact, rather in prefers to do it's politics with others outside of it's own borders. Anguis manages to sustain itself for the highly priced export of an oily substance that is rarely found anywhere but the swamplands, an oil of various uses, from beautification to burning it for lanterns. The price is hiked up under the eplanation that the oil is hard to find even in the swamplands and even harder to refine into a usable state. It is a hard sought resource by many nations though due to it's inability to be found anywhere else but the swamplands it seems.
  
  Tails Side: The backside of Anguis, locked up tight within it's Iron Borders, is quite darker than it's exterior. House Anguis is responsible for a vast majority of brutal yet sublte murders and the collapse of quite a few upstart rebellions and gallant defenders of justice. Anguis deals within the dark underworld of this world, or not so much as deals as Anguis controls it. Anguis retains a fragile balance of knowledge that circulates throughout the world, what is known in the underworld is known because they wish it to be known, those in power in various places are there because they want them to be there. Anguis is in such a position that they could annhiliate the leaders of every nation but are wary to do so. To do so would incite a reaction that they could not contain, and as such creates their fragile balance. They are in a position to do nearly anything but are unable to do anything because of the aftermath that would follow. Their primary export, the shea oil, is secretly drilled in abundance in the deep swamplands, and sold for a steep price. This knowledge is known to none but their closest ally.
  
  Millitary
  
  Anguis's military is excellently trained within their own home territory. For any other nation fighting in these swamplands would be a brutal challenge that would cripple any army, for Anguis it is a strategic position that they know greatly of how to use. The scattered and hidden safe paths through the swamps are guarded heavily by the brunt of Anguis's military, the spots in between are left unguarded due to their impenatrable natural defenses from the numerous pits of quicksand and vicious Kalupo scattered throughout.
  
  In Anguis's own territory their military is unmatched by any. But outside of their territory and home field advantage they are simply an average army who's strategic knowledge is the only thing that can get them by.
- Element Name
  
  Poison
  
  Elemental usage
  
  Those born of noble birth in Anguis are born with the ability to secrete a deadly poison that has no counter. Those poisoned by Anguis poison die shortly after with no hope of survival. The poison can be secreted from anywhere within the body but needs to actually enter the targets body. It is unable to enter through the skin.
  
  The Poison is a clear liquid that is easily mixed into food or drink and easily applied to weapons. It is ineffective against others who can generate it.
  
  Associated Magical Creature
  
  Kalupo
  
  Giant snakes similar to king cobras that lurk throughout the swamps waters.
  
  A Kalupo rearing out of the swamp to attack and unprepared traveler.
  
  Cost
  
  Overuse of the Poison can lead to running out. Refilling poison only can be reachieved through proper rest and drinking a special fluid that speeds up the generation of the poison in the body. A cerain oil abundant in the swamplands and exported to every nation. Without the oil the poison can take days to be generated in the body to a lethal amount again.
  
  When Can You Use It
  
  Anywhere as long as it has not been used up.

    House of Origin

    Skills
    
    Swordsmanship
    
    The Fox was raised primarily on Swordsmanship rather than any other melee weaponry. Brutal training regimes and a merciless trainer perfected Lucien's form to an unrivaled point. With a sword he can defeat all but the most skilled opponents with ease.
    
    [*]Manipulation
    
    Lucien has lived amongst the darker side of Anguis all his life, seeing the brutal and unusual methods of Anguis and learning them. When he was 12 he was informed of Anguis's biggest secret. From that point on Lucien was trained in a far darker art amongst a heavily guarded secret until he came of age.
    
    [*]Hand to hand combat
    
    A large part of Lucien's childhood training involved hand to hand combat to ensure that in the circumstance that he was disarmed by some means he would not fall prey to an armed or unarmed foe.
    
    [*]Agile
    
    Due to the various forms of training The Fox received his body is in top condition and toned to a pinpoint set of reflexes.
    
    [*]Strategy
    
    As is custom for all children of Anguis nobility, Lucien was drilled day and night in tactics until he knew everything that his teachers had to teach him and then some.
    
    Weaknesses
    
    Arrogant
    The Fox's primary weakness comes from the arrogance created by his upbringing, he thinks himself above all and can possibly underestimate an opponent.
    
    Personality
    
    Lucien is a born killer, a man who slaughtered his 12 brothers and his father to achieve the position he holds now within his house. A man who would slaughter them all again without remorse to keep his position. He thinks of few as equals, and only those who share a trait of his own, his ability to kill without remorse. All others are below him as far as he is concerned. He's a brilliant strategist who orchestrates any and all encounters like a puppet master, manipulating every piece of the game without every truly lifting a finger, something he is highly attuned to doing.
    
    History
    
    Lucien's history is long and brutal. Born to nobility in House Anguis he was accustomed to the dark treachery that lurked the halls of his home. His father had 12 sons other than him and Lucien knew as the final of the 13 he was not destined for the head of house. So he took it. He endured years and years of training, a custom amongst the family to breed the most dangerous and loyal heirs that they could manage. And slowly, as days and years went past, Luciens brothers had "accidents". One by one Lucien killed them in some form, working his way up the ladder. As the most skilled of the 13 he could have simply slaughtered them all and his father knew it, but Lucien took his time, played out a decade long game until he came of age. By this time he was the last of the heirs and his father confronted him in private. "Trust no one." He told his father as he drove the blade that brought him to the head of his house into his fathers heart. The act was uneeded but a simple pleasure that Lucien enjoyed as his father had been planning to relinquish the head of the house to Lucien anyways, knowing he was the one that would succeed him excellently. And although Luciens father was dying he still looked on at his son in pride, this monster he had created. His father imparted one final secret to Lucien before uttering his final words, "A glorious monster...", his fathers last words as he passed from this world in peace.
    
    Lucien disappeared after this to deal with other matters for a short time before resurfacing a year later as the head of Anguis house.
  - Name: Adelind DeThorne
    
    Gender: Female
    
    Age: 34
    
    House of Origin: Anguis
    
    Skills:
    
    ~ Knife skills- Adelind was once a great spy, her trade mark skill was her grace with daggers and knives. She could slice a man's skin off in under 60 seconds and could throw anything with pinpoint accuracy.
    
    ~ Kindness- In her later years she has grown to become quite the delicate young woman who is kind and caring to everyone she meets. She seems to have lost her fangs which prompts others to leave her be. However also allows her to be easily manipulated or used.
    
    ~ Royal Lineage- Adelind's family dates back to when the House of Anguis was first established, in her prime she used to have tremendous power. However, as time passed and she became more distant from the house she has very little power. She now is only powerful by name.
    
    Weaknesses:
    
    ~ Dying - Adelind is dying from a disease that is slowly turning he body against herself (Look up Lupus, yellow fever and cancer for a general idea). Due to her powers she is luckily dying slowly, but will probably not make it to see her son's 18th birthday. She has become sluggish and sickly over time and doesn't do much. On occasions she can muster enough strength to make an appearance, but can truthfully barely stand.
    
    Personality:
    
    Kind, caring and generous. Adelind is a true beauty in both heart, body and soul. She used to be such a dark individual, cruel, remorseless and cutthroat. However she is now a soft spoken woman with grace, beauty and manners. She is caring and loving to all creatures and is full of wisdom. She enjoys spending time in the sun and surrounded by things of pure white.
    
    Backstory:
    
    Adelind "the Queen Viper" is what they would call her and she was perfect in every way for an assassin. She could go on one mission and comeback resolving 20. However that all changed when she met one man. She was on a mission like any other, her goal was to assassinate a member of the Avalon royal family, the King's Brother, Luce Evermore. She was completely ready to take him out when she suddenly lost sight of him. The target appeared behind her with a flower and a smile. Embarrassed and angered she quickly fled the scene. This scenario happened every time she tried to kill him. She didn't understand, but through sheer exasperation she began to talk to him. First it was only her name and yes or no answers, but then it evolved to conversations that went on for hours. One night when they were hanging out, and Luce fell asleep next to her. She had her opening to kill him then and there, but couldn't. After she failed at assassinating Luce she decided to defect from her country and stay in Avalon.
    
    However, she had to assure that others wouldn't try to assassinate Luce so she falsified her report and for the next few years of her life lived as Luce's lover and eventual wife. Wed at 18 they had their son a year later. They named him Brendan and loved him dearly. Raising Brenden and being married to Luce was the happiest time of her life. Then everything changed when Luce became ill. It did not take long for Luce to pass away in fact it was unnatural that he died so quickly as if he were poisoned by a Anguis. Adelind weeped for days over the loss of her husband, and at some point she had began to grow very ill. Feeling unsafe in Avalon, Adelind took her 10 year old son and made the long journey back home.

For the past 3 years she has lived back in her home and has tried her best to keep her son and brother from worrying about her.

    Backstory:
    
    Brendan was born to his mother Adelind and his father Luce. The first 10 years of his life were the happiest of his life. His father was a great and kind man, his mother was beautiful and graceful. They lived in a nice summer home in Avalon. He spent his days playing, exploring and learning new things. When he turned 10 his father died very suddenly and many Avelonians blamed his mother for his father's death. He watched as his mother cried daily at the loss of his father. Until one day she was having a coughing fit and coughed up blood. He rushed her to the doctor and he told her that she had contracted a rare disease and she had maybe 8 years to live.
    
    With this new prognosis plus the extra blame given to his mother by the Avelonians was too much. His mother decided to take them out of their home of Avalon and return to her home in Anguis, Brenden reluctantly agreed. They spent two years on the road, taking nearly every mode of transportation to reach Anguis. Adjusting to the area after 10 years of peace and 2 years of moving was difficult. He didn't know what to think of all the assassins and killers around him. He didn't fit in at school and watched as others made friends and got along. Brenden would return form school and take good care of his mother. He loved to take care of her, because she was his only connection to Avalon. Although she would constantly tell him to go out and have fun, he preferred to stay in and read to her.
    
    He did enjoy some aspects of moving to Anguis such as meeting his uncle and other family members. They taught him much about fighting, by just watching them practice. He has secretly become very good at combat however, hides it for fear of his mother finding out. He trusts his uncle Lucien and looks up to him. He aspires to be just as strong as he is.

  Royal Element: Death
  
  Specialties:
  
  Minerals & Water: Living in the two valleys surrounded by mountains. Allowing for hundreds of profitable mines and some of the purest water known in the world.

It is extremely profitable and highly rare for others to obtain Rhorewien materials and or water.
  
  Numbers & Health: Due to the pure air and high altitude, the birth rate is high. Those born have strong lungs and high endurance rates. Many of the people are soldiers and are elite and strong. Every year nearly thousands of young men and women join the army.
  
  Natural Defense: Surrounded by mountains Lonaneyal has a perfect natural defense. It is self sustaining, having it's own water and food source. Although it does need things from outside trade, such as textiles and seeds, they are completely self sustaing.
  
  Behavior:
  
  This kingdoms wasn't always as corruptible as it is now. It is no fault of the monarch's that run it. It is hidden deep beneath in the religion and in the King and Queen. The country has a cheerful and profitable exterior and a dark and deceptive interior. The kingdom is kind, but the castle, the church, and the army are cruel. It is full of deception and deceit and everyone is planning a takeover of some kind.
  
  Millitary:
  
  Extremely large and powerful army. It is stacked around various soldiers in peak condition with a powerful buff. However, there are some limitations to this army as there are in any army. It is so very large, yet disorganized, tactics are somewhat lacking due to various reasons. (*cough cough*... king...) However, the princes and princesses have found a way to remedy the situation.
  History:
  
  Faith. Faith is what started the empire of in Rhorewien to the Great House of Lonaneyal. Starting from a small movement of religious refugees who settled in a new area, the Lonaneyl house grew. The population boomed vastly and children became stronger and healthier. Buildings were built, houses expanded, mines were opened and farms were established. The mines flooded precious gold and ores, the farms were growing steadily and the falls were found. The house of Lonaneyal became a strong and independent realm. Staying far away from other forces, living a peaceful and sheltered life Lonaneyal became a strong power. However, being so separated from the other realms prevented the necessary battle experience.
  
  The kingdom's current All Father used to be a seasoned warrior who attacked a neighboring kingdom once before. He was considered a great fighter, and a even better lover as he only retreated due to finding Riona's future mother. It is unknown how many wives the All Father is taken, however, every child has even recorded. In his later years the All Father has become more peaceful and calm. Which was good for the kingdom, but created a dark opening for another power to take them.
  
  Recently the kingdom is in the midst of a odd power struggle. The church, the castle and the army are all fighting for power. The most corrupt location, is the church The youngest of the All Father's triplets and head of the church is working with her sisters in keeping their status and power. However, she doesn't know that her subordinate is conspiring to overthrow her and her sister, through means of corruption. Meanwhile the Army's commander Kiara is plotting to overthrow the current King. Due to her fails at war and her large infatuation with men. In the Castle the princes and princesses plot to overthrow the whole corrupt chain of command, using deceptive means to overthrow the other commanders. The are making progress, but have annoying tasks given to them by the Queen.

  Magical Creature:
  
  Not only the magical creature, but also the religious figure of the Lonaneyal people, the Cernunnos.
  
  "The Horned One" is a god of fertility, life, animals, wealth, and most importantly the underworld. Cernunnos is depicted with the antlers of a stag, sometimes carries a purse filled with coin. The Horned God is born at the winter solstice, marries the goddess at Beltane, and dies at the summer solstice. He alternates with the goddess of the moon in ruling over life and death, continuing the cycle of death, rebirth and reincarnation.

    Weaknesses: Flattery, parties, handsome men, what she calls stupidly kind people, and animals.
    
    Personality: Riona is a calm, level headed girl who knows what to expect from others. This allows her to cunningly manipulate and crush her enemies and friends alike. She is secretive and merciless to those who get on her bad side.

    Backstory: Being born as one of the youngest children of her father, Riona had to scrape, manipulate and even kill for her position as the Royal Princess. Having many siblings from different women lead to Riona having many enemies. Even at birth everyone was jelous of Riona, she was one of he most beautiful children that the king had produced. However sadly, her mother disappeared a year after Riona was born. Riona was told that her mother was a dryad or some sort of Fae and had run off to her own kind. Riona didn't believe it she knew that one of the other wives had order her to be assassinated. Besides she doesn't believe in such things as Fae, but occasionally she wonders sometimes about her odd affinity to nature. As a child she struggled between her lighthearted nature that was given to her by her mother and the cold harsh manipulator she had to become to survive in the kingdom. The whole court believed she was favored by the king, therefore Riona was at the end of many daggers in her lifetime. She had to learn how to defend herself, in many ways, creating a secret group of people she could trust to do her bidding. Riona has done terrible things in the 19 years she has been alive, things she isn't proud of, but must happen to establish her claim to the throne. She always blamed her father and family for what she is, cold and evil, like the rest of them. Growing up her only comfort from the evil of the castle was the garden and the great hall of history. In her time in solitude she has devised a plan, in which she will finally win.

    ). Darrow is as hedonistic as he is cold and greatly enjoys the pleasures life gives him, from wine to women to killing his enemies.
    
    Backstory
    
    Darrow's history is long and bloody, born on the streets and left to die he had to fight to survive among the other boys like himself. Life was brutal and he learned quick that the best way to survive was to make sure others didn't. It wasn't too long before he was picked up by a brutal mercenary who felt like the boy could be easily imprinted to be loyal to him and taught a variety of skills. At this point Darrow was already a good killer, and although he wasn't book smart he was a hell of a lot smarter than the man who thought he had a loyal little slave to do his bidding. Darrow bided his time, learned from the man all that he could, and when he came of age he strangled the man, staring into his eyes and taunting him as he did so, "Thought you had a nice little tool eh? Well turns out you were my tool...fun right? And now you're useless, time to be rid of you..."
    
    From that point on he worked as muscle for various people, honing his skills, until one night in a bar he drunkenly stumbled into a door and smashed. He'd thought it was the restroom and was aggravated by the fact that it was locked. What it really was was a back room where a certain woman was tied up and about to be killed. Darrow didn't know why or care, he was drunk off his ass in front of a beautiful woman and between him and her was a multitude of men and her tied to a chair. The resulting chaos ended up with him freeing her after brutally killing about six or seven other well armed men with a shard of wood from the door and a long club like item that used to be the door frame.
    
    In this quick and brutal fight Darrow found himself to now have a dagger lodged between his ribs, a nearly fatal wound until the rescued princess brought him to the castle and had gave him medical attention for his deed. Afterwards he was hired on as her personal bodyguard.

  Continent: kingdom in the west
  
  Royal Element: Iron
  
  Specialties:
  
  1. Weapons crafters. Gondheim has some of the best weapons forgers that create the finest armour and swords, and tips for spears and arrows for the Gondheim army.

Soldiers are trained day and night and are always put to training at a young age so that they may master the arts of swordsmanship faster.
  
  Banner/Sigil:
  
  Royal Family: Keira Zorzo. The Zorzo family has ruled ever since the creation of Gondheim.
  
  History: Gondheim long ago was prosperous. People lived peace. The kingdom ruled in a very different manner than others. The poor and ill were not shunned from society but society helped them. Gondheim had one of the largest armies and one of the most powerful. They were known as the gate keepers to the west as their western most border sat right at the path where the western continent ended and started. They were given this name because Gondheim rangers would stand guard day and night. When the war came, Gondheim refused to join as they saw no reason to sacrifice their men for a war that was not ever theirs to begin with. The first signs of war coming to Gondheim was when a nation from the south had massed their troops between the border of Gondheim and their own. Gondheim tried talks but utterly failed. The nation moved in as they caught Gondheim off guard. As the war raged on, Gondheim lost territory and many lives. But, they were also able to deal a number of severe blows to the enemy as well grabbing parts of their territory to retain a bit of their land mass back.
  
  By the end of the war, Gondheim was a very different nation, several cities were left to rot while the people began to clean up the mess caused by the war. Gondheim's population had decreased as did their land.
  
  Godheim of today is still recovering from the great war. Their population has increased but still is not as large as before the war. The great war gave every gondheim man and woman a phobia for war.
  
  Gondheim is still known as the gates keepers to the west but, that name now has less meaning than before.
  
  Behavior: They value honor, integrity, and honesty above all else. They have grown a phobia for war since it caused mass amounts of damage onto their nation. They mostly rely on trade so they have built a complex network of road, and bridges in and out of Gondheim.
  
  Millitary: Gondheim still has a formidable and a large & powerful military force capable of launching attacks and defending. But, since the end of the war, their population has become very hesitant to go to war. Gondheim's military relies on it's massive and well trained and disciplined soldiers, but the true power to Gondheim's military are their swordsmen and spearmen as the Gondheim army is known to be at it's ver ybest when engaged in sword to sword combat or when using spears.

Can you please add this onto the element tab for Gondheim

ELEMENT NAME: Iron

ELEMENT USAGE: Manipulation of Iron. You can build walls, armour, and weapons to protect or to attack.

ASSOSCIATED MAGICAL CREATURE: Kaveen

They are tall creatures that tower over regular human beings standing at on average 7 meters taller than the average person and some can reach up to 10meters taller than a human. They are incredibly well armoured and incredibly durable and well as highly intelligent. They are incredibly vicious and brutal killinh machines and well as in discriminant and can defeat even the most well trained and most elite soldiers and warriors. But, these are very mythical creatures. There has only been a total of 10 confirmed and 5 unconfirmed sightings of these creatures in over the past thousands of years. They are very neutral as they want no business in other people's issues and have learned to co-exist and respect the People of Gondheim who had suffered their wrath during the early days of Gondheim's creation. If one were to see them, it means a great honor as these creatures are allowing you to see them and these Kaveens are considered as a high deity in Gondheim. They are seen as the protectors of Gondheim and Gondheim's last line of defense by the populace and even are worshipped as gpds for the incredible power that they have. but the military and the royalty think otherwise and that these beings are not protectors . Or, it would mean that you have done something to greatly disrespect or threaten them and they are here to take their revenge. There is currently not that much known about them. Even the people who devote their lives to studying these mythical beings and the most foremost experts on these beings can not say a lot about them since their appearance is super rare. There is currently an unspecified number. Some estimate to be many Kaveens

In conclusion, the Kaveen respect the people of Gondheim since Gondheim respects them. But they are beings that will not interfear or assist anyone unkess their existance directly threatened. And are very mystyrious creatures.

Cost: From exessive use, the pluser faces extreme drowseness and exhaustion. Fainting and often feeling very sick are the common side effects falling intool a short period of coma is the more severe consequences

When can they use it: They are able to use it only in the presence of iron.

In conclusion, the Kaveen respect the people of Gondheim since Gondheim respects them. But they are beings that will not interfear or assist anyone unkess their existance directly threatened. And are very mystyrious creatures.

Cost: From exessive use, the pluser faces extreme drowseness and exhaustion. Fainting and often feeling very sick are the common side effects falling intool a short period of coma is the more severe consequences

When can they use it: They are able to use it only in the presence of iron.

THEIR MAGICAL CREATURE IS SAURON. OH GOD

I'm working on it
- The Kingdom of Carranon
  
  Continent: Carranon
  
  Homeland: The Heartlands
  
  Specialties:
  - Superior Infantry: The Kingdom of Carranon has the largest army, filled with the best infantry, which have won them their position as a dominant power. A wall of Carronian infantry is nigh impenetrable, strong and durible.
  - Gold mines: The Carronians are expert miners, and their lands have the most bountiful access to gold out of any nation, making them vastly wealthy.
  - Political Superiority: The Carronian Nobility is filled with the most cunning, vile and manipulitive nobles in all the kingdoms, another reason they came to power.
  Sigil:
  
  Rulership:
  
  King Davarsi I
  
  History:
  
  The history of Carranon is bloody and cruel, filled with backstabs, lies, and other nefarious acts. Since the Great War, Carranon has exploited its dominance, puppeteering the other nations into serving it, supplying its rich with goods whilst the kingdom's poor work in the mines.
  
  Behavior:
  
  Known generally for being cruel and merciless because of their latest king, the Carronians have dominated the world's political and economic theatre, exploting the resources and governments of the surrounding nations to serve their own purposes. However, as talk of open war begins to stir, they are desperate to continue their dominion.
  
  Millitary:
  
  They have a powerful millitary, with strong knights, impressive walls of infantry, but poor archers. Their cavalry is skilled and heavily armored, but not as skilled as that of Duraqiim, or anywhere near as fast. Their archers are militia at best, but their true power lies in their infantry.
- Earth
  
  Element usage: Manipulation of stone and dirt. You can do alot of things with it, build, tear the very land apart, make armor and weapons, benefits to farming, etc.
  
  Magical creature: Golem.
  
  Although incredibly strong and durable, Golems are incredibly dull-witted, and quite few in numbers.
  
  Cost: Solidification. If an Earth user goes too far beyond his/her level, they will literally begin to turn into a statue made of stone. Not a fun way to go.
  
  Limitation: Earth depends entirely upon having stone or dirt around ti It ito control. THey cannot use their own body in any way. They also cannot use it if they are not touching it.

She, like every other centrion, dislikes discrimination of all forms.

She trained for her sister and became one of the most promising spear women of the whole House. She also was recognized for her powerful ability with iron bending using it in such a fluid lifelike manner.
