All good. Also I know you're likely shortening my nation name, but I prefer the masculine spelling Joe, and no, it's not my real name

OKAY JOE

Lol I'm not trying to come off as an ass about it. It just makes me uncomfortable as a guy to be called by the female spelling

History and Culture (2 paragraphs minimum):

Long ago there existed an empire known as Arcadia once full of beautiful lands, pastures, and an almost unnatural glow brought on by the high concentration of magic within the realm. The Arcadians were pale silver haired elves who worshiped a strange goddess, and honored her by practicing incest, and polygamy of all kinds.

They had no Emperor instead were ruled by great families, and had a kindred relationship with an unusual kind of dragon. These long skinny beasts ruled the skies, and controlled the weather bringing fear to the enemies of Arcadia. The Arcadians subjugated the Humans, Werewolves, Vampires, and even a race of elves whose skin was as dark as tar (earning the derisive name of Tar elves).

The Arcadians ruled in splendor, but to many it wasn't enough. A rising general subjugated a group of black skinned humans known as Vargonians using divide, and conquer. From the great north came the Ranites a group of people who worshiped a great octopus like sea god who demanded sacrifice in exchange for strange looking gold, and other things. Their ships plundered cities, villages, and everything alike, and they took no prisoners sacrificing everything for their strange god.

They appeared at first to be ordinary humans, but the gills on their necks, webbed feet, and scaly skin showed their deity had apparently been changing them through the generations. They spoke of a great conflict with the god of the air, wind, and storm over who was to control the planet. Also of a great underwater city filled with riches, and powered by the blood of sacrifices to feed the immortal souls who resided there.

In the southern colonies the Humans were rebelling against a tyrannical governor who had become an autocrat thanks to the war. The seven prominent lords, and their families were winning until a great treachery occurred at a feast. Their Tar elf allies had betrayed them in exchange for the favor of the governor. The leaders of the houses dead the children, and those left were rushed away further south to the lands of the Kartuk's a nomadic group of warlords who fought one another.

The general managed to defeat the Ranites enslaving whoever was left, and apparently once the sacrifices stopped their god abandoned them. With that, and the colonial rebellion settled the general convinced the assembly that their dragons had betrayed them causing most of the realms troubles. The dragons despite their power fell due to not sensing the betrayal in time, and without the support of their dragons the assembly was slaughtered by the general.

He became the ultimate power in the realm granting himself a crown. His reign was brutal, and short within some time the homeland of Arcadia became a hellscape of fire, and plague. The dragons who survived brought hell down on the land from their mountain homes, and with the massive death toll a plague spread quickly killing the rest.

Strangely the colonies were not affected one bit given how they had done nothing to harm the dragons. The pale elves, and tar elves fought amongst themselves for control of the colonies. One city known as Axawla rose up, and claimed it could lead the colonies to form a new empire. Naturally that kind of arrogance wasn't well received, and the humans were having none of it.

In the land of the Kartuks one man known as Chouzo the son of one of the lords who was slain in treachery begins to rise up in his training with the warlord he is staying with. By the age of 16 he is married to six women each a daughter of the other families. Through sheer force, terror, and other means he unites the nomadic tribes of the Kartuks into one force. This was due in part to him marrying the daughter of one of the bigger warlords who swore fealty in exchange. This tactic was used on the Vargonians as well.

His war of conquests is like that of an elegant drama bringing unity to the disunity. To the Kartuk he is revered as the great warlord while the Vargonians view him as the judge of the soul, and all spirits including ancestors. The southlanders (humans in the southern colonies) view him as one who ascended to their pantheon of gods. The sky dragons view him as loyal since he protected them while the pale, and tar elves view him as the great peacemaker sent by the goddess. To the Ranites he is the liberator who freed them from their slavery.

To many however he is the founder of the Lamaism "the great peace" as he called it. He ruled over the former colonies as peacemaker, and unifier striving to ensure nothing like the great doom, and the wars that followed happened again. He also prevented blood feuds from leaking over due to racial tension. According to visions he received in his dreams he built the capital of Lamai City in reverence to the being in his dreams the endless, and eternal. He also organized the system of the new country according to it as well.

There in the celestial throne he ruled, and his sixteen children were presented to the realm. He goes on to rename the major cities of the realm after his children, and begins to receive more visions. Chouzo begins to tell of a being which comprises the entire universe known as the endless, and eternal as the visions keep coming in, and says one day a child clothed in the stars shall be born.

Location(Look at the map linked above):

Stuck between three nations (Celestial Empire, Kingdom of the Dead, and Tetsuchikyu) the Lamaitians are settled in the lake area, and control the area leading out to the sea. They have not settled near the areas closest to the Kingdom of the Dead however.

Just because my people are weak to fire doesnt mean i won't take you and your dragons down.

Chinese dragons which control the weather are obviously superior.

Nope. Thats not happening. I won't touch that idea with a ten foot poll being held by someone else.

I would. I would touch it with my pole, in fact.

Please its hardly overpowered in a world of magic.

But how would it work? Only one person could have it and they would be overpowered with that power.

Why could only one person have it and how is it overpowered?

[Sarejo]

Exactly, I concur. Being able to conjure storms to sink entire navies or lightning to strike armies as they march can be overpowered.

No weather-controlling on a mass basis like that.

I don't think any army or navy in history has survived a storm.

What if two weather dragons come at eachother? Do both of their weathers happen? Does nothing happen? And having the ability for bring hale or start a dust storm with no problems is super unfair to those who dont have it.

[Benuty]

Hardly.

I doubt you could play as that, but it doesn't mean they aren't around.

Essentially in my application Arcadia (now ruled by the dead) was literally an elf version of Valyria with Chinese styled dragons. Of course the dragons were mostly slaughtered in an attempt to weaken the Arcadian families (who were then slaughtered themselves). Arcadia was set alight by the remaining, and understandably pissed off dragons who now reside on the top of the skies.

The colonies now free from their doomed elvish lords had to endure their own fates. Essentially the dragons basically said "fuck this place", and went to go live in the location of the chief goddess of the Arcadians.

Well, that's what I have with the Barasheen. The Diza Tribe and others who are magic using tribes are able to create Sandstorms and Dust Devils. However, this can only be done when in a desert for obvious reasons.

Benuty, are there any natural limitations to this?

They cause the apocalypse after all Arcadia not existing proves something doesn't it?

Look, Me and Joe (The other co-op) have agreed that there are no weather dragons. Sorry.

What part of the last sentence did you not read?

Seems pretty clear to me you didn't read the fact they literally left this world because of what happened.

[The Empire of Pretantia]

Why could only one person have it and how is it overpowered?

What if two weather dragons come at eachother? Do both of their weathers happen? Does nothing happen?

Weather control would fall under thaumaturgy. If they're both attempted to create the same kind of weather then the effect is double. If they're opposite (One wants clear skies while the other wants storms) then the weather is either lessened or none at all.

And having the ability for bring hale

Helmets, they save lives.

or start a dust storm with no problems

This would be an issue if it can be kept up indefinitely, but if mages need to rest then it's not overpowered.

is super unfair to those who dont have it.

Not particularly. It's super hard to make any sort of weather system, and even harder to make a dangerous one.

Look, Me and Joe (The other co-op) have agreed that there are no weather dragons. Sorry.

However, I'm on the fence on it. Like I asked, what are the limitations of it?

It's really fucking hard to get army-destroying or even army-hindering levels of stormcasting. Only powerful mages can pull off the latter, Gods can pull of the former. It's also very taxing on you, so can only happen for a day or two at most.

It also requires line of sight with the sky, or ideally the army, you're trying to stormcast.

Look, I got that but my worry is that some people will start declaring that they want this and then It'll be a problem. That's why I don't want it.
It also gives the user an easy way to weaken another RPer for no consequence.

Again it seems you didn't read the fact they aren't even on this world anymore.

Your logic isn't exactly making sense.

How can a being which hasn't been seen in Amergos for hundreds of years because they literally left to another realm of existence possibly harm another roleplayer. To summon one you would literally have to travel back in time before the doom of Arcadia, find a book written in your tongue, and not get killed by the ruling class for entering their home.

You would literally have to be a god to do that.

Well yeah. Im not against them being in your lore. Im just worried that someone will think up way to get them or something like them.
