Roddynia
Player/Leader: RoddyVR/ Lord Roddy (and his decsendants of same name)
Government: Tribal Allience
Army: Small (landlocked)
Navy: Tiny? (none i'd guess)
Education: Terrible
Moral: Meh
Brief History:
The city of Moscow had long been the richest target for raiders, barbarians and robbers, and over the decades the populace had gotten used to repelling these attackers. However Moscow millitary had always been heavily concentrated on defence of the city, and not on offence. That is untill Lord Roddy took command of it. Through his efforts the Moscow army was trained for offencive warfare, and the last time Moscow came under a heavy raid, the military not only repelled the attack, they followed the attackers back to their home and destroyed it. When news of this change in Moscow's military policy spread, representatives of villages and towns around Moscow started flooding to the city to ask for protection by their military. And so the Tribal Nation of Roddynia was formed.
 
How the World Came to Be

Antafan_-_1st_Story_Picture.JPG


In the ancient days before man or the Antafani ever existed, there lived the two gods Hum and Dum. They lived in a vast black darkness through which even they could barely see and spent their lives quarreling over various things. Among the most persistent subjects was Hum's desire to create beutiful things; trees, animals, rivers, lakes, and the like, and Dum's desire to destroy them all.

Many a time Hum would vanish out of the emptyness some little being when Dum would scream, swipe at it with his hands, and throw it into the abyss where it would, half-fashioned, whither and die. For hundreds of years this would go on until finally Hum decided to stand up to his partner.

When Hum created his next little animal, he threw it a very short distance ahead of him. When Dum dived for it, Hum took the chance and pounced on him. Dum screamed when he realized Hum's cunning and the battle began. At first Hum was on top of Dum pounding away, but the latter soon rolled around until the situation was reversed.

Hum took a good few punches to his jaw, but remained unaffected. As gods of course, fighting purely amongst themselves was useless as they were both equally strong. But still they both had pride, and neither was about to let the other land the more blows. So the fight continued, and each kept rolling untill he was on top.

So fast were they rolling that the darkness around them began to get ripped apart. Soon there was white... and out of the white came other colors, such as grey or brown. Before either of them knew it they had rolled themselves into a thick brown ball, with just a little exit on top. Hum, the quicker-minded of the two, left his legs on Dum's body and jumped up. As he exited through the ever-narrowing hole, it soon closed and what was left was a sphere and Dum enclosed in it.

In Dum's rage he bellowed fire, and the little ball was enveloped in it. For ages and ages, there was nothing but fire on this little ball, and Hum could create naught. Hum contended himself by creating the best beings he could in his spare time. As the years went by, Hum became so good at this that the little figurines he whirled out of the darkness achieved perfection. He gave them the ability to survive in the darkness lilke himself, and thus the new gods were born.

But the gods were too few, and Hum was not content. He wept at his companion's foolishness and destructive nature, and to his amazement his tears mixed with the fire until there was left water, enveloped around the world. Enraged, Dum punched up against the barrier around him to try and get through, but it held firm. Instead, the marks left by his thrusts became the continents.

Hum was overjoyed, and set to creating beings. He first created the Great Fish, Uriqua, to inhabit the oceans. On the land he left the Great Monkey, Hiyum, above the land the Great Eagle Syroka, and under the land the Great Mole Sikurt. Each he made the protector beings of their dominions, and gave them the duty of protecting any others he would create.

For years he did so, until one day he desired to make a being as good as possible, but still under the gods. The result was people, who he quickly blessed with the ability to walk on two legs like himself and an intellect superior to that of his other creations. Upon seeing this, the enraged Dum once again spit fire, through the tiny little cracks in the world. But this time, the humans took the gift and learned how to create it themselves. Dum's unintentional present would spur people to new heights.

And that is how the world and people came to be. Hum, who had put so much of his soul into his creations, died after age unimaginable. The mole, the monkey, the eagle, and the fish all cried, as did the infant gods. The early people were never too familiar with their original creator, and in time they strayed away from him. Dum would stay buried inside the earth. His tantrums would be the earthquakes that would often haunt the people of the world in the future. And so the world that Hum created, filled with his own soul, changed forms and shapes by itself, interrupted only occasionally by the never ceasing rage of Dum, who himself had died and left his soul at the core of the earth; the vengence to destroy all that Hum had created. It was the age of creation, and this strange time and place would remain until many years later, when the gods had grown up and split up their duties, given the humans instructions of worship, and so begun the age of the gods.

Brief History

I take it I shouldn't write a history in the stats, right?

Start me somewhere in between modern-day Ethiopia and Sudan.

---

And so it was, as told in many tales, that the great paradise in Africa withered away, as the Mighty Spirits chose to punish the greedy Humans who lived there.

And those Humans took to flight, and spread throughout the world. But there were other Humans, who lived not in the Great Paradise of Rain, but in lands around it, and they resisted those who came. Some learned to live together, but most did not. And after making the natives run into other lands, most fought amongst themselves.

And so it was that in the great lands of Abyssinia, in Tigray and Shoa, and in Massawa and Axum, the Galla tribes pushed out and subdued the proud Tigray and Shoa and Massawites and Axumites, and took most of their land. And then they battled amongst each other, over that land.

But the Mighty Spirits were not pleased by that, and they brought to them Kasa the Priest. Who told his tribe, that time of disunity was over, and then told other tribes. And so it was, that most of the Galla tribes have united under one leader, who beared the title of Itege, the Emperor. And Kasa the Priest became the first Itege of the Gallaray, and his eldest son became the Itege-To-Be.

Brief History

20000 years ago the Tribe of Insayah crossed the frozen Bering Strait and entered the Americas. When the last Ice Age ended, the tribe was Stranded in the Americas and had no way to get back. They adapted to this new environment and based there life around fishing and hunting for furs. And one day, hope to get back to their native lands in Asia.

Start me on the southern coast of Alaska
 
The Tribe of Insayah have a legend of how they were stranded in the Americas. 21000 years ago, the Tribe of Insayah, was living in the Steppes of Asia. Life was good for the Tride of Insayah until one day, a strange man walked into their circle of tents. He warned if the spirits were not satiated, the world would freeze with there anger. The Tribal leader of the Insayah, Genagis, laughed when he heard this. Yelling out he said, "Prove to me there are spirits", "Bring them to our tent camp". The strange man laughed after he heard this, "If you wish" he said. Slowly the strange man put his hand a pot he was carrying and scooped out with his hand, a strange powder. He took the powder and threw it on the ground. Spirits appeared out of everywhere and swooped down infront of Genagis. Genagis was terrified. "Ok will will satiate the spirits", Genagis said. But Genagis did not want to do this, so he told the spirits and the strange man, go on the other side of the hill so the Insayah can prepare the gift for spirits.

Once the Spirits left, Genagis ran around the tent camp and told everyone to leave the camp and flee north. Genagis told them that they were in danger because of an enemy invasion, he did not even mention the spirits. The tribe listened and at night they fled. When the spirits realized that they were fooled by the Insayah, their anger caused the world to freeze over.

The Insayah continued north for years until they reached an ice bridge. They were very tired from the journey and stopped to rest. The cold was really bad and many members of the tribe had died over the years. The cold was not enough revenge for the spirits, they wanted more. So they played a ruse on the Insayah. Across the ice bridge, the spirits created an illusion. They made the frozen land look like tropical paradise. When the Insayah saw it, they ran across the ice bridge in a hurry but it was too late. Once they crossed the bridge, a pillar of fire came down from the sky and melted the Ice Bridge, the Insayah were stranded. The far north was frozen over and never to be unfrozen again.

That is how the Insayah were stranded, the ice age occured and how the far north is always cold.
 
The Scandinavian legend of their creation states that the world once consisted of two lands separated by a great Void. The land to the north was a land of frost, and the land to the south was a land of fire. Where the fire and ice mixed in the Void, the first frost giant was born. He created others of his kind, and they gave birth to the gods. But then the great frost giant became evil, so the gods killed him and hung him over the Void. The frost giant's body became the earth, and his blood the oceans.

The legend then goes on to say that the gods formed the first man and woman, Ask and Embla, from trees, and how these were the ancestors of the human race. The people then scattered throughout the world to raise their own families.

But then the sons of the frost giant returned. They wanted to take revenge for their father's death, and destroy the gods and their creations. They caused a great ice storm that covered the whole world in snow in order to try to destroy the human race. But after many seasons, the gods returned to the earth and defeated the frost giants, driving them back to their cold world and restoring the earth to its rightful balance. They also gave men the gift of fire, that they might protect themselves from cold in the future. Then the gods returned to their palaces in Asgard to tend to their other creations on other worlds--except Odin, the king of the gods, who would continue to watch over humanity until Ragnarok, the Twilight of the Gods, began.
 
Ryukyus

The voice of thunder,
lightnings light, filled the heavens.
Clouds poured out water.
Terra firma trembled, shook.
Stand to sea, safety's pathway.

The sea was as water before the tea, the ship rolled starboard. The route was known for the tumoult, espescially during the moon of falling frost, but this was the worst he had seen in his time as an captain. The banshu of Tanega-shima had declared himself Emperor of Amami, the Northern island group. The islands still resisted rule from Shurijō, even after what seemed like a lifetime of rule.

He was one of many captains on their way to Nakatane, the rebellous banshu's capital. Retribution would come on swift wings for the rebels.

Orders:
-Grow Economy
-Begin Naha-kou (Naha Harbor) at Naha [Increases Navy 2 Levels]
-Crush Amami insurgents
 
The waves rolled upon the shores of Illium, lapping, smootlly upon the soft sands fo the beach, with th emighty citadel of Troy looming in the background, the protective overshadow upon the land, a comforting sight, the mighty walls, a comforting thought- troy, as influential a city it was, as large a a city as it was, an important a city as it was, was but a small part in a great world- what might lay over the next hill? and the hill beyond that? and over that? what mysteries lay over the waves?

It was youthful priam, destined to be King of Troy, and all the lands of it, though that Troy should set out, to explore, to grow, to see, and to have, to make allies where possible, and fight when needed, to set out to bring about the prosperity of Troy, and all the people who hailed themselves as part of the Trojan nation.

Orders-
1)grow economy
2)begin "Royal Barracks"- +2 army + 2 econ
3)expand in area around troy, and even sail over to greece, and in the peloponesse, found "Mycenae"
 
It was a cold night. Harald paced over the cold stone floor in his comfortably warm fur coat. Around his stone palace was the small settlement that made up the hub of his realm. Beyond its limits, the fields were silent. So silent, in fact, that a hawk's cry startled Harald from deep thought.

The night was murky, even though the skies were clear. It seemed that a thick cloud of darkness had descended over the land. The air itself felt heavy and unusually still. Not even a twig stirred, not a leaf rustled in the wind.

Harald couldn't sleep. He had, in fact, just awakened. His mind was alarmed, and yet somehow calm. He had just had a strange dream...

Harald was in a great void. There was nothing but darkness all around him. Suddenly, a faint light flickered in the distance. The light grew larger, brighter, and nearer. Harald simply stood there, paralyzed by fear and wonder. As it drew nearer still it assumed the shape of a man. The man, faceless, shapeless, and formless, extended his left arm out from his side.

Harald looked. He saw a green, verdant paradise. But a mountain wall rose between them until it towered into the sky.

The man dropped the arm and raised the other. Again there was a vision of paradise. But between them the ground split open, and the ocean rushed in.

Once more the man dropped his arm, then stood aside. What Harald saw was identical to the paradise of the other two. But now nothing happened. He began to walk towards it.

Suddenly, hundreds of skeletons, armed and armored and chanting "Fight!" arose from the ground and surrounded him. Harald ran back, expecting them to pursue him, but they stayed in place, letting him return to his original spot.

The mysterious form then extended its hand to Harald. An echoing voice told him, "Choose which paradise you will have..."


At that moment, Harald had awoken. He was now trying to figure out what the dream meant, and could not sleep because it troubled him.

"It must be a call to me," he thought. "I must reach a decision of some sort. But of what sort?" He stood there, pondering...

ORDERS
-Increase economy.
-Expand overseas (German and Polish coasts, Denmark, Baltic states, etc.).

They started going threw talking like this,and people started catching on quickly and swore their lives to Gaia...Soon the whole crimean peninsula were dedicant followers of the Union of Gaia,and it's cause.

A small army and navy was quickly mustered.People in the army were nick named "Druids" or protectors of earth.They wore mostly just **** they could grab from the forests as armor,and used scimitars and alchemy as weapons.
