well, you aren't as active as the others I've mentioned (not that i mind of course

If only. Witness ITNES: Sheep's repeated statements of "Punic virtue" and trying to make himself racially superior. It's only in that NES, but it's a vendetta. Yes, you were supposed to see that.Israelite9191 said:
Alright, I'm adding a few NPC nations. Here's a story for one of them.
The ice mages of the south pole were growing nervous. The people were finally realising that they weren't going to survive on a diet of ice and frozen algae for long. Eventually, a few dozen fled north until they reached the great sea that surrounded the continent. The desperate people experimented with local wildlife, trying to make them fatter and better to eat. But their experiments had quite unexpected results with a small group of penguins.
Instead of growing huge, these penguins became as intelligent as the human experimenters. The penguins staged a daring revolt, sending many of their oppressors fleeing back to the south. Some of the humans had to admit defeat upon their capture, and joined the penguins, lending magical knowledge. After that, the penguins pondered their newfound sentience along with their few human allies. Their leader, who named himself Ross, lead them to a huge icy spire. The nearby sea, rich in fish, would feed them well.
So the penguins, under Emperor Penguin Ross, began building a great city of ice and rock, naming it after their Emperor. They are prospering, but will their success bring them into conflict with the aquamancers of the south pole? We will soon see.
Notes on Penguins:
-While not yet knowledgeable of advanced magic, many penguins can perform simple healing spells. They are developing a form of Nature magic, giving them control and communication with many arctic creatures.
-The experiments by humans have strengthened penguins, and given them several humanoid traits. Here they are:
-Improved dexterity, though still slightly clumsier than humans.
-All around increase in strength.
-Human intelligence.
-Language. Their tongue is partly based off Antarctic human, with a few other words for things that humans don't need. I.e., many adjectives for flavours of fish and textures of ice and snow.
The penguins fight with stone and metal weapons, generally inferior to those of current humans. They can ride almost any animal, seafaring, amphimious, or landbound as cavalry. They are currently incapable of ranged weaponry. A penguin soldier can perform any duty, so there is only one type of soldier in the army, though it is a very adaptable type.
Penguins have a gift for camouflage, often covering themselves with white sealskins when they wish to be unseen on land.
In summary, penguins are very versatile and can perform many duties that require stealth and surprise, but they are only half as effective as a human soldier in a regular battle. They are amphibious and don't need ships, they can hitch rides on sea animals. A person who may someday face a penguin at sea needs to know that a penguin is likely to sink a ship by swimming under it and cutting holes. Fortunately, they can only sink a ship slowly in this fashion, so leaks can often be stopped early.
While I'm on this topic, das, what's with you and polar bears?

A while ago I saw March of the Penguins which got me thinking. Apparently, emporer penguins have breeding grounds that they return to year after year by the dozens and even hundreds (although barely in the hundreds). I was thinking that over tyhe next few million years, these sights could evolve into permanent, year round settlements as Antarctica moves north and global wrming melts the ice caps, thus making food more avalable at the breeding grounds than at the area where they spend the rest of the year. As they become settled, population would dramatically increasedo to the year-round ability to mate, the lack of migration caused deaths, and constant access to food all year round. Who knows, mabey the penguins will replace us after we dye off or move to Alpha-Centauri.

Sorry for being generally not here, but I've had the strep throat for a while, and have had no energy at all.
While his empire expanded, swallowing the neighboring tribes into his domain, Sundiata wanted more. He wished to make a larg push to the west coast, but didn't have the people to relocate. He needed more people. And Sundiata new just where to obtain them: Ur. He would take the royal army, and march too the old empire, and demand the remnants of his people. The Tiger Prince was no fool, and knew he would need aid to convince the decadent people of Ur to let the twelf tribe go. So he sent a messenger, the fleet-footed man Ghanda, with a note written in the language Songhai, to the men of Abyssinia
The note read:
To My Brother in the East.
From Your Brother in the West.
I have a tale for you brother. Once, long ago, my people where happy and plentiful, with a lovely life in our home, with our animals and our grain. But that time of peace and happiness was ended, when men of great deceit came to our land. We traded with them, giving them our spirits, our furs, and even livestock, in exchange for bronze and gold. But they where not really searching for our food, or our skins. They where looking for men to die, and they found them. They took many of my people to fight a war they did not want to fight, and left my home in chaos.
But now the chaos is gone, and I must find my lost brethren. Please, wil you aid me in my search?
Signed, Sundiata Kiata, Prince of Tigers.
