Hey guys. I've recently returned from a long hiatus from the forums. One of my biggest goals coming back to the forums is to get back on track with roleplaying and worldbuilding for my nation. I'm hoping to turn it into something fun and original, and a far cry from my rather poor attempts in the past to make a medieval nation. But thinking about the contrast between what I've done to shape my nation in the past and what I plan to do looking forward, I'm interested in seeing how other people's nations have changed overtime their plans on how their nations will look like in the future, whether it be dramatic change or very little at all. So with that, I'd love to ask everyone how your nations have changed overtime. What were they like in the beginning, and what changes have they undergone since then? Have there been any dramatic changes, like wiping the slate clean and making something completely different from what it once was? And if you have any, what are your plans for how you will continue to shape your nation in the future?
Personally, my nation has undergone a lot of change as I've decided to switch things up a bit throughout the almost three years I've been on here. My nation began as a boring kingdom with very little that gave it character or novelty. Then, it turned out to be a rather poor recreation of barbarian society set in a high fantasy setting. Believe me, it was very cringy and I've had half a thought to remove the posts I've made about it because of that fact. Then, it lost all character entirely because I became absorbed in WA politics, only rarely going back to my cringy barbarian roots when acting "in-character" (I was pretty bad at getting in-character, and still am) to express my views in the WA. But now, inspired by nerdy past-times like DnD and Skyrim, I've decided to create a medieval fantasy society with far more depth and creativity. So over these next few weeks, I'll try to create a unique lore and society for my nation that is hopefully less cringy than my barbarian society, and can open myself up for some compelling storytelling and RP. Although my plans are bound to change, I'm thinking about making a elven society founded by the tribe known as the Lumottu, powerful high elves endowed or perhaps cursed with limitless magic at their fingertips. They were feared by elven society because of the Lumottu's destructive capacity, and forced to flee where they established their safe haven of Rovikstead. So Rovikstead will be a magical elven society with a rich history and culture. Hearts hardened by their alienation from normal elven society, Rovikstead's people are very xenophobic, and although only a fraction of the Lumottu's descendants have inherited the Lumottu's power, Rovikstead has also acquired a sense of ethnocentrism as well.
