I read somewhere that Rysa is currently leaderless. If that is still the case, I would like to apply for the leadership of that landmass in particular, as I like the cold climate theme.
If that is not currently the case and I have missed something in the jumble of posts, you have my express apologies, and can ignore this, and what follows, as the fevered ravings of a madman.
Name: Remnant
Name of Nation: Rysa (may as well keep that)
Government Type: Monarchy
Capital: Ilden's Folly
Values: Strength and perseverance (fitting for the climate), smiths and engineers, "doers" are held in high regard- what passes for nobility is based on these and other skills rather than birth.
Plans: The culture is one of creation. The founders built a city where others saw only wasteland. Current plans include the exploration of unknown areas of the continent and the creation of devices to help keep shipping lanes clear of ice.
Primary industry: Mining, metal and stoneworking
Ilden's Folly was built into the hard stone of the Korma mountain range. It was named after the leading founder, Ilden, who was assured that the endevour would be the end of him. The city was thus named in this way before it was even built. However, ingenuity and stubbornness has allowed the city to thrive. During its construction, a dwarven colony was inadvertantly broken into, but the two groups being of like minds get along amicably, and the populations throughly mix.
The country is currently presided over by Remnant. Politics within the country are somewhat alien to an outsider, the usual features of nobility supplanted by those that have done some feat of work deemed worthy of the position. As a result, the country lacks skilled diplomats, and has little patience for political manuverings. The people are not unfriendly, but do tend to be somewhat rough and blunt.
