Message: <blockquote data-quote="NotAYakk" data-source="post: 8276023" data-attributes="member: 72555">Two continents joined together with a mountainous and dangerous isthmus.Empires that have outlived multiple ends of the world.  Their calendars measure out fate itself.A floating city in the sky over a great mountain lake, the largest in the entire world.  Non citizens are restricted to the undercity, in perpetual shade.Great plains dino-herders that battle each other for honour.  The riders jump from one dinosaur to another, and attempt to count coup by painting the other rider.  Dinosaurs are both so deadly and worth so much that warfare using them is way too expensive for fun.They export dinosaur meat and bone.  But their premium export is their mercenary cavalry, which is expensive and very very worth it.A civilization that has replaced war with Sport, with bloody stakes.  Not because war is wrong, but because they are so good at war they dare not engage in it.A city in the clouds, so high that non-natives find it hard to breathe.  A complex set of tracks and gears going up and down the mountain keeps trade costs low, but every pound of stuff imported is balanced by a pound exported.  They export gold ... as ballast.River valleys with immense bio/geomagical cities, grown from the mud.  Their magic uses the life embedded in the river mud to make great golems, and their cities walk when the river banks do.A frozen civilization built on astronomy, dire-wolves, bears and whales.  They manage their excess population by sending their youth off to explore and raid.Cliff dwellers who farm the skies on the wings of Eagles.An invading horde of orcs from the other side of the sea, with necromatic plague mages attempting to trigger an armageddon.</blockquote>
