In times before us, there was another world, one of fantasy and mystery. Dragons roamed, goblins schemed, and fairies flew. In this land, two empires rose amongst the squabbling tribes and villages. It was weak, but mightier than any of the others that had been risen. Now, you too shall make an empire, and lead it to glory!

Religions

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Mikar, god of nature: Focuses on drawing power from nature, coexisting with it. Can summon animal allies and twist plants to your will at later levels.
Kolaria, god of the forge: Better metalmaking skill once obtained, happiness from weapons and armor being smithed. Can make metal golems at later levels
Sakla, god of secrets: Dangerous creatures will fight for you, but demand sacrifices. No sacrifices causes unhappiness and can cause beasts to rampage. Sacrifice time and amount dependent on creature. Can summon monsters to different areas at later levels.
Berelith, god of magic: Better magic skill once obtained, allows for Archemages and specialized mages. Elemantals availible at later levels.
Nukrel, god of death: Strong spellcasters, but need sacrifices (Note: Can be enemies, but friendlies are more effective), and allow for undead. Behemoths (Very powerful, very expensive zombies) available at later levels.
Explanation on faith: Faith is generated by making shrines, spreading your religion, and finding artifacts. Faith is used to get levels of religion, which can boost the strength of your abilities and at level ten, can unlock new abilities. Faith can also be used to get a favor from your god. A favor is some form of aid involving your god's sphere. Nukrel might kill of a squadron of an enemy armies, while Kolaria might enchant some weapons. Mikar will heal your men, while Sakla will send a monster to fight for you.

None

Bestiary

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Shambling Plague: A shadow-like figure that moves slowly. They appear intelligent, but are no more sentient than a rock. They can spread by bite. Fortunately, they are rare...For now.
Acid Lizard: These small, red-colored lizards seem harmless, but their saliva can burn its way through almost anything. If you kill one, you can use it as a poison, but you do have a chance to harm your warriors, and it will break down the weapon.
Lesser dragons: These small wyrms have weak scales and can do little more than make a small flame. Do not be fooled, however: They are still strong in melee, and have razor-sharp claws.
Mana Poacher: A small, cat-like creature that feeds of magic. They can absorb basic spells, and release them, albeit weaker.

The empire name: The Ghahonhon Horde
My government is going to be interesting. 
I'm going to bed now. 
Terrain: Steppes, with a river and plains. 
Almost forgot terrain.

The Gahonhon Horde is a tribe of barbarians.  Seeing as we have not discovered animals I Have nothing more to say.  Damn phone texting. 

[GreatWyrmGold]

Dammit, ninja'd. There's nothing stopping two elven nations from existing, right?

Race: Elves*
Religion: Sakla
Name of Empire: Lamrakia
Area: A thin deciduous forest, full of strange creatures and plants from old experiments.

Lamrakians constantly innovate. They are as industrious as any other, but have one major difference between them and others. While other races have smiths and masons, Lamrakians create products of living flesh or wood. Their tools and crafts are creatures and plants.

[flame99]

Not at all. I'll have the turn up soon. I've got all the tables I need for now, so it shouldn't take long.

[Rolepgeek]

Race: Dwarves
Religion: Kolaria, of course.
Name: Battliikin
Region: Bottom of a steep (75 degrees) cliff with numerous caves. Forest a decent distance away, very hilly a bit before cliff. Live in the caves...for now.

[flame99]

You can reassign your colors, I'm just going down the list for now. I'm taking 5 for now, and each turn represents a year.

Torkal Hills
The hills you come up at has a thick forest, temperate weather, gently rolling hills, with grotesque creatures, with some magical elements in the environment. There are some creatures in the area, including a Shambling Plague (Added to bestiary, see first post). The normal animals are deer with gnarled, sharp antlers and pointed hooves, wolves with teeth twisted to a dangerous point, and small lizards whose saliva is acidic (Acid lizard added to bestiary). These creatures are currently far away from your empire. You have two groups of spearmen, armed with basic spears that are nothing more than carved sticks, as well as 3 sets of workers. You have a town and a keep. You can begin study on basic craftsmanship (Choose one: Masonry, carpentry, bone working, tanning), as well as one of the following: Mining, woodcutting, improved construction, advanced magic, fire magic, ice magic, air magic, earth magic.

Basic magic

The Ghahonhon Horde
You come to a steppe, with a small river. However, nearby there is a small hole in the fabric of the universe. From it, magic surges forth, as do strange creatures. Thankfully, the nearby, natural wildlife is very tame, consisting of nothing more dangerous than the occasional bobcat. The rift stays mostly inactive, but there are several animals around. Amongst them, there is a lesser dragon, a mana poacher, and you manage to find a magic tome, allowing you to research magic. The creatures, however, are quite close. (Don't blame me for your luck; blame RANDOM.org) You may take masonry, improved carpentry, boneworking, and tanning, as well as mining, woodcutting, improved construction, and basic magic. You have a unit of spearmen with wooden spears, and a undit of bowman, alongside 3 workers.
Lamrakia
You arrive at a sparse forest, with grotesque creatures. The land here practically glows with magical energy. The temperature is temperate, and there are large herds of creatures nearby. Among them, there are creatures horribly disfigured by unknown means. None of them, however, have any legendary strength. You have one spearmen armed with wooden spears, one set of bowmen, and 3 workers. You may research a basic craftsmanship (Masonry, increased carpentry, boneworking, and tanning) and mining, woodcutting, and improved construction.

Carpentry and bowmaking.

Edit: Sorry, Rolepgeek, I'll take care of your turn tomorrow.

You can begin study on basic craftsmanship (Choose one: Masonry, carpentry, bone working, tanning), as well as one of the following: Mining, woodcutting, improved construction, advanced magic, fire magic, ice magic, air magic, earth magic.

Does this mean that I can study two things (one from basic craftsmanship and one from the second list) or just one thing?

[flame99]

You can study one from each list.

[alamoes]

I did.  Noticed it before you posted. 

[flame99]

Oh, sorry. Also, common animals have been discovered, but thy aren't appearing in the bestiary because that would get annoying.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Research Boneworking and Improved Construction.

Have one Worker begin building a rudimentary shrine. Meanwhile, the other two farm if they need to and build a granary and a road if not. Have the bowelves practice woodselfship and the spearelves guard the village.

Wish I had access to proper magic.

[racnor]

The goblins of Kolaria and Berelith assemble in the under-mount deeps. A new ruler has closed his iron fist over the tribe of the Blazing Blood, and hopes to lead them to greatness. (sorry, but you were too elfy for even the elves Mikar)
