[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 702736, member: 63"] Too much stuff! Okay, I'll set aside about an hour tonight after I get back from DareDevil to reply to this thread and post ideas, because there's a lot of stuff to pick and choose from. A few quick thoughts, though. No centaurs among the Cresians. They might breed stronger animals, but no biomancy yet. Also, from the climate described (river delta, fairly lush), I'm not sure if you'd really see stags in this area. But hey, if a group of Stag Knights had a celebration, would it be a stag party? Cresians can have cavalry within the allotted time span. Horses are most likely, unless you can think of something else? Great wolves? Deer? Very very few animals would be awakened. Maybe just a few dozen, though that's not considering that sentient creatures have been created for at least several decades, so perhaps some pairs of awakened animals bred to produce offspring. I like the idea about the capital city being sprawling, with actual farmland inside it, and lots of thornbushes and such. It's not so much a city, just a nicely organized swath of countryside, with large walls built in two or three concentric rings. It's not really highly defensible, because the walls are really too big to defend them in the entirety, but aesthetically, the arrangment pleases me. (We need an official name for the capital city.) The Cresians assimilated the Jonga, and a few other nearby societies, though most of the others didn't require as much effort and conflict. Some Jonga of course fled, and there's certainly bitterness and resentment in some areas, so don't think this country's a utopia. The Cresians do use bronze now. Because they know that they have rivals in neighboring countries, they keep an army of a few thousand, including several hundred cavalry, and a few groups of Beastmen. (Do we have an official name for them too?) I'll post more later. [/QUOTE]
