Sovantiam


 * SUBHEADING - some quick phrase about your place **

Here you would type a quick overview of your region--a sort of summary of the important points about it. This region is a very open area with sandy beaches and a few forrest's but with it the forrest is thick and dangerous with a random desert in one area with a massive canyon that few have gone in and none have come out the region is split in civil war between four major clans The Magical Empire, The Peoples Alliance The Barbarian Horde and The Neutral Fighters.


 * Geography **

Here you would describe the physical features of your region--the type of landscape, notable landmarks, rivers, mountains--whatever is important. These things will of course impact how your residents live in this part of the world, so consider carefully how landscape affects life. Small hills dot the landscape of Sovantiam with few but thick forest like jungles there are sandy beaches near the coast one long major river called the Raliftie streches along the land scape with a river that branches off called the Altonic this leads to one of the three major lakes this is the Obelectif the other two are the Sanliolt and the Haltofal these lakes are deep and infested with monsters not a good togo swimming but for some reason they don't attack boats unless the people on board attack the monster first some people have even seen the monsters swim beside boats peacefully though no one has ever been to the bottom on occasion you can see lights shining up from the bottom at least once a year there is a single real mountain but its a big one the name is Solitif Mountain it reaches the clouds with more mountain to spare dangerous and exciting full of cliffs beasts sharp points its very unstable but the being unstable has been a blessing for many giving the non magic users there greatest weapon against The Magical Empire revealing Blessed Stone which was named by future members of The Peoples Alliance this is one of the few places in the world where Blessed Stone can be mined Blessed Stone cancels out magic for a certain range it is a very useful tool in the war now the one strange part of our land.

 * History **

Describe the history of this region. How did things get to "now" in our world's timeline. I'm guessing this will change as we make connections across regions, but a detailed history can lead to awesome stories--search for lost artifacts, ancient rivalries rekindled, disgraced noble houses seeking the throne. Think of Tolkien here and the importance of world history is clear.

In our history when you go back far enough but we do know is that there was once a civilization called the Sanolians that were a bunch of kingdoms all over the area that competed for resources in the area but mostly lived nice lives and even then there was even magic but it was something you could learn were magic users could go to schools to learn these skills and those who did were beloved by the people they were given titles of high rank and had celebrations thrown in their honor but that wasn’t enough sadly almost all we know about the Sanolians is their falling you see the magic users wanted all the land and to be in charge and they wanted most of all slaves which were banned in most kingdoms the plan was to use the highest ranking Wizards called Lethonts to spear head the attack on the first day they would be wandering around the cities with one near the leaders with the first week as the Sanolians tried to fall back regroup and fight back Wizards would ambush and destroy any Sanoilians attempting to make it to a safe zone and take key strategic positions from there they would set up battle positions and fight the crippled Sanolians while magic had the advantage and quickly crush them this would all begin on the first day of the dying season so necromancy would be strong the plan was beautifuly awful by the end of day one most cities governments were decapitated with civilian and military personal taking heavy casualties by the end of the first week the Sanolian armies had fallen into trap after trap trying to regroup and organize themselves and the civilians trying to make it behind their armies that were caught along the ways or even the ones who flat out surrender themselves are killed and shown no mercy come the end of the second week the Sanolian armies were locked into full out warfare with the civilians working triple time to keep up the war effort but with a lack of resources and most of the farms and mines destroyed along with forests being behind enemy lines by the end of the first month the armies of the Sanolian kingdoms were in full retreat with the cities burning behind them many civilians were forced to hide in the ruins of the cities and some got lucky and the Magic users and their armies of orcs and the undead past by them but some weren’t so lucky and were sniffed out by passing werewolf patrols and well you could probably guess they were ripped apart there were two leaders left by the end of the second month one went to a cave to try and save their kingdoms and the other went for a last stand before the desert in the last stand the King had all the civilians sent to the desert with his son to try and establish something to live but the desert was a bearin waste land they were never seen again and as for the troops they tried turning each house into a small fort boarding up the doors and shooting through the windows but soon Orcs broke through and destroyed them and the ones the Orcs couldn’t get in were burned to the ground by Magic users and as for the expedition it went to the mountain with some miners to try to find something that was could help but a Magic squad and a Orcs squad went to intercept them and they wiped each other out none ever came back soon the war was over by the end of the season the civilians who had been in the ruins came out and were made slaves of the Magic users in the new Magic Empire. Thousands of years later little had changed in the region the slave numbers had grown to a normal population but were still enslaved until a young man named Samule at the age of twenty five learned of an amazing thing now Samule was a fishermen who had a deep hatred for magic he grew up in a small village controlled by Orcs and one day he had enough and ran Samule made his run at night ad the Orcs chased him but not for long they had to go back for help and supplies Samule after a couple days made it to the mountain with Orcs a few days behind and they had wizard help but this is wear Samule made his greatest discovery he went into a cave one night hiding from patrols when he made the discovery that would change the history of Sovantium in that cave he found old mining equipment and uniforms and old weapons and leather shields and armor that bones and charms and soon relized there had been a battle here and the strangest thing was there was an entire Wizard squad killed and they didn’t fire a single shot at the enemy no burns or frozen bodies none seemed to have died of plague because the bones were shattered from weapons by Orcs not even skeleton or zombie attacks no magic was used it was Orcs vs People and no one had survived he continued through the cave seeing how the battle continued the orcs and wizards outnumbering the people two to one with one Orc and one human skeleton standing with their weapons inbeaded into each other and the human had an unusual object in one hand it was a golden cube with a strange stone on each side unlike he had ever seen he put it in his pocket thinking of it as little more than a gem with no power on his way out of the cave after the patrols had passed he ran into a Orc and Wizard who had gone in here to search and become lost but were happy now to have found their target Samule quickly grabbed a sword and shield in any hope of defending himself as the Wizard shot a fire ball at him or at least tried but it wouldn’t shoot he kept trying but nothing Samule was glad and suprised but did not take the time to be in shock he charged the Wizard but the Orc jumped in the way and knocked him down swinging his battle axe Samule swung back and the fight began the Orc swung High Samule ducked he went for a strike to the leg the Orc blocked it edventually Samule got behind the Orc and leaped on his back inraged the monster grabbed him and through him against the wall nearly knocking him out and making him drop his sword and shield with an Orc charging him he thinks he’s about to die outnumbered two to one like the last humans to fight in the cave against Magic and Orcs but as if it was fate a shield made of leather and wood was right next to him he tossed it on and smashed the charging Orc in the head then grabbed a spear and stabbed the beast the Wizard now realizing his magic wont work in the cave he runs Samule grabbed his sword and spear and chases him as the Wizard leaves the cave he throws his spear hitting and going right through his knee knowing he cant make it the Wizard turns for his last stand now a few yards out side the cave and fires one more fire ball and this time it goes and heads strait for Samules head but stops three inches from his nose the Wizard keeps trying but each time is the same then suddenly Samule understands he takes out the golden cube and throughs it to the side a few feet away the Wizard shoots again this time it smashes into his shield and knocks him down he is forced to abandon his now burning shield the Wizard continued shooting as Samule scrambled back to the cube and is once again fine but is still getting shots stopping a few inches from his face now confidant he advances forward the wounded man falls to the ground in a last desperate attempt to run and turns over he looks up at Samule his eyes pleading for mercy for a second Samule stops and feels pitty but then he remembers all the pain and misery the tourchers executions threats beatings and more with that it is said Samule’s fury burned so bright in his eyes you could see it for miles and unleashed a vengence so great it is undescribable by words by the end the body was unrecogniseable by man or beast Samule after the battle went back to his village and raised an army he began the rebellion with many people eager to fallow him before long a section of land was in his hands and he was crowned first king of the peoples alliance and he had a wife and a son who had a son who had a son who had a son that he sent to live with the Barbarians and 110 years after Samule Gatilfy’s battle in the cave that began his rebellion his great grandson Ryan Gatilfy is crowned fourth king of the Peoples Alliance.


 * Government **

This might be different depending on your ideas, but here is where you discuss how citizens of your region are ruled. Different parts of your region might be governed differently, of course.


 * Country, Magic Empire, Peoples Alliance, Barbarians, Neutral Fighters


 * Style, Monarchy, Democratic Monarchy, Warrior Higharchy, Democracy


 * Head, Magic Emporer, King, Chief, Elder councel


 * Secondary, Magic users, Politicians, Battle leaders, Town elders


 * Military, Monsters, Soldiers, Raiders, Malitia


 * Work force, Slaves, Civilians, Slaves, Pesants


 * Inhabitants **

I was going to say "people" or "citizens", but your region might not have either. Describe who or what lives in your region, and their way of life. Are they farmers? Hunters? Do they rely on trade with another region? What are their homes like? What kind of dangers or monsters might live in the region?

The Magic empire inhabitance are mainly monsters live in caves dark castles evil towers farm houses log cabins the usual for monsters or really any were can be their own seperate homes but as for Magic users they live castles and palaces and nice housing but for the slaves they are forced to live in mud huts with dirt and mud floors they mine chop trees and farm and fish when they can but don't hunt they usually live lives of darkness with little joy or happieness or celebration.

The People of The Peoples Alliance live calm lives with the occasional celebration they enjoy hunting and fishing and sports but hate Magic the king and Politicians and high ranking military units like Soldori and Knights live in castles and palaces they are nice but greatly defended lower ranking military units can live in civilian housing or in the barracks a barracks is well defended and the people are friendly with each other but its small and can be cramped living as for civilian housing its usually a nice small house made of wood or brick not very strong defenses very easy to destroy for an army but also not normally an army's target they are fairly large they can fit a family comfortably.

The Barbarians are warlike raiders who found enjoyment in the wildness and savegry in the first days of the war they hate Magic too but mainly split to continue their raids they hunt as a military exercise and choose their leaders by who is the strongest they all live in yurts the bigger the higher the rank but not the slaves slaves are people who are captured and kidnapped in raids and are brought back to work for the barbarians they have to dig small holes to live in like animals and are day by day sent to the lumber camps and to the mines to be worked to death.

The Neutral Fighters are a group of people who did not want to send their fathers sons and brothers to fight and die in a war that seems to have no end they live in small villages with no defenses but make up for it because when they are attacked they don't wait for an army to come save them they pick up there axes pitchforks and mining and hunting equipment and fight like mad for their homes they almost always live in small wooden houses that fit a family but not much more and they enjoy hunting and fishing in their spare time also listening to the town meetings they believe all people are equal and are the only true democracy in the region they are fully defensive and do not make attacks they are completely defensive if you leave them alone they leave you alone they dislike Magic and hate the Barbarians who are almost alway offensive and make fun of them for their defensive ways they have no leader they think the older people who have experienced the most should be in charge and meet to vote on different topics.
