[QUOTE="Don Incognito, post: 4825583, member: 81448"] Part of what has been holding me back is the lack of a timeline regarding the expulsion from the mainland. I'm assuming that it was hundreds (if not thousands) of years ago. So the Daunton is founded, and for a while things are pretty good; some portals are opened to far lands, and trade is established and all that jazz. Then, there's a hiccup; they open a portal to a far land in the form of a big stone archway in the ocean not far from Daunton (sort of like Stargate; big enough for ships to go through), and as soon as it is opened, dozens of refugee ships come fleeing to Daunton, being chased by even more warships. It turns out that this Far Land (I have yet to come up with a name, but it is rather Egypt-inspired, so I'm thinking let's call it Ma'at) is ruled by a powerful deva caste that are worshipped as living gods. Since devas are caught in an unending cycle of reincarnation, they have convinced the goliaths that if they lead a life of subjugation and servitude, they too can be reincarnated as devas (a lie). Those few devas and goliaths who resisted immediatly fled when the portal opened, being chased by the fanatics. Daunton welcomed the refugees with opened arms, and a war was on between the city-state of Daunton and the holy desert of Ma'at. Long story short, not only did Daunton win, they were able to push Ma'at forces back through the portal and establish a small outpost in Ma'at territory. The war never really stopped, but it slowed to a crawl. Ma'at decided to allow the outpost to survive, and even occasionally refugees to flee to Daunton. Of course, this needs cleaning up, but you get the idea. Devas and goliaths with Ma'at as a home can be refugees living in Daunton, but the origional refugees consider Daunton their home, and thus goliaths and devas can choose Daunton as a home region as well.
