Kegyeleem: Magic and Realms [Medieval-Fantasy,OOC/mechanics]

[Andsed]

Andsed, I control 380, you didn't include it in the map of my territory.

... OOF! Sorry about that I will edit the map real quick.


Edit: here is the updated map:

Red: The Grand Duchy of Oppermanson
Yellow: The Qallupilluit Clans(The line from 10 to 261 is supposed to represent the Qallupilluit who are living underwater)
Blue: Dyllonia
Lime Green: Beaconia
Black: The Armed Empire of Raznakova
Pink: The Kharqorin Alliance
Dark Green: The Duchy of Drazar
Cyan: Kingdom of Erinfrosche (The black lines and dot are meant to show that they are claiming the underground and caves of the areas and the brown rings around 142 are showing how Spartacus claims the surface there.
Brown: Spartacus (Again the brown rings around 242 are showing how they are claiming the surface there.
Grey: The Empire of Acren
Purple: Dentali

[Oppermenia]

To give everyone a better understanding of how the Sakatkin would be treated in this - it happened almost a thousand years ago, so there aren’t really any known remnants of them or their culture. So, they would’ve probably become mostly forgotten and more folkloric. Little is known historically about the War for Kegyeleem, so people get the basic idea and think there must be truth to what they know. However, for the most part, most people see the Sakatkin as just a bedtime story. In fact, it is a bed time story that at least my characters have been told as children and will tell their children

[Persia-Kebabistan]

Can my third character be accepted when y'all are free, please? Thanks!

Here are my completed apps for three characters:

Character Name: Timur Khan

Wealth and special possessions: (Sum up the characters overall wealth and resources at their disposal and also give good descriptions of important unique or especially treasured possessions) As the head of the Kharqorin Alliance, he has support from all of its members. The area has good ports and farmland with thriving marine activities. His city, Kharqorin, is in the mountains and he also has a house there (he does not live in a palace because that would imply that he is a King, not a humble Alliance Head.
Biography: He was a descendant of a Tulivag Turk who helped fight the Worldkillers, so he was made the head of the Kharqorin Alliance.
Closest family and friends: (Names, age, relation, single-sentence summary) None, he is sociable, but he does not have true friends, just acquaintances.

Magic Abilities: (if magic-user, otherwise delete) He is only able to use magic for benign activities, like making tea or making a cloud the shape of a pancake (he did not teach himself "dark magic" out of fear that he may use it in a way that harms others. The Kharqorin Alliance's few magicians are notorious for refusing to use magic most of the time unless they are ssure it does not affect anyone).
Flaws and weaknesses: He does not like company, he does not like humanity or himself.
Wealth and special possessions: (Sum up the characters overall wealth and resources at their disposal and also give good descriptions of important unique or especially treasured possessions) He lives in an isolated, abandoned monastery, but has no possessions so he can lay low and no one will know him.

Affiliations: (List all groups among which your character has some rank or special standing.

Kai was born in Kharqorin and became famous for his cooking skills, making him the head of the Kharqorin Culinary Society. He also started to become curious about other cultures and their cuisine, inspiring him to also become a geographer and create the Kharqorin Academy of Geography. His dream is to explore the world's cultures and cuisines and show them to the people of the Kharqorin Alliance. Right now, he is preparing to travel around Tulivag, where he will write about the various cultures in his journals and release an atlas about Tulivag.

[South Acren]

Would yall mind if i edit my territories quick?

[Persia-Kebabistan]

Realm Name: The Kharqorin Alliance.
Location/Territory claimed(check map): 383-443 (this will change after Mersdon and I decide on a border).
Population: 7,000,000 (7 million).
Leader: Timur Khan.
Ruling House (dynasty): Kharqorin Dynasty.
System of government: An economic and military alliance, similar to the EU and NATO. All of the individual countries are still sovereign entities with various government types due to this just being an alliance.
Significant Sub-realms: Kharqorin is the capital.
Culture(s): Southern Mainland: Analogous to the culture of the Turks when they migrated into Central Asia, except that they are more sedentary and seafaring. Northern Mainland: Analogous to the culture of the Hungarians when they first established the Principality of Hungary, except they are more seafaring. Islands: Analogous to the culture of the Persians. Due to the Kharqorin Alliance being in a wet, temperate forest rather than the steppe, grasslands, and desert, the cultures here are different from their analogous cultures on Earth.
Religion(s): Various religions.
Magic Tradition(s): Shamans in the central mountainous areas have mastered magic, but they use it mainly to entertain people (fireworks, funny clouds, etc.). They refuse to use it in any way that has large effects.
Foreign policies/agendas: It tries to remain as distanced from other countries as possible, though countries within the Kharqorin Alliance interact a lot with each other. The Alliance, despite being made up of many sovereign countries, has a united foreign policy.
Trade (Imports/exports/policies): Due to isolation, not much exported or imported. Trade of fish, pearls, cash crops, food crops, lumber, and precious metals and minerals is mostly within the Alliance.
History: At first, all of the countries in the peninsula were small and separate, with much diversity even within the three main culture groups. After Nosewagania annexed Sakatia, the peoples of the peninsula decided to form an alliance to protect themselves from others. They decided to make the Kharqorin Dynasty the head of the Alliance because the Kharqorin Dynasty is directly descended from a Tulivag Turk who helped fight against the Worldkillers and saved the area from being destroyed by the Worldkillers. The current Khan of Kharqorin, Timur Khan, is thus the Head of the Alliance.
Additional Information:(anything else you want to say?) Timur Khan is slowly trying to strengthen the Alliance into a unified Khanate with him as the Khan. Timur Khan is skilled at realpolitik and is good at pursuing his goals through practical means, though this also means that he has almost no values.

That map is really well-designed! Are there designated climate types for these regions, and if so, can my area have an oceanic climate similar to Christchurch, New Zealand?

I edited my app a bit. I did not edit my land extent, but I modified some of the history, cultures, government type, and more.

[Andsed]

Nice map Andsed! A quick note: I am giving some of my territory to Mersdon, but we have not decided on an exact border yet, so in the meantime, please list pink as both Kharqorin Alliance and Mersdon.

I think that´s up to Oppermenia or Dyllonia to decide.

[South Acren]

How much area around the lake are you thinking? Completely surrounding it or just partially surrounding it?

[Oppermenia]

That’s left up mostly to the players.
The players can make their own races so long as they’re not too op

Currently, here are the ones I know of:

Thank you.
Although this has been a bit of work, I am getting along just fine with this. And, if all this work can produce an amazing, fun rp, then it's all worth it

[South Raznakova]

The thing is though, I think the problem with the cold war and GWoTC was that it was very slow. How will you guys solve that problem?
