>>6273041>>6273050>>6273053High Seer Enara is chosen as the leader! Her abilities are deemed essential for our continued survival and as such we decided to praise her highly with the honors of being our Eternal Leader!
After carefully inspecting the island, Enara figures out we have only the ocean as neighbour to the north, a kingdom of mermaids living somewhere in the deep 50,000 strong in about ten small cities. But it is unlikely they will bother us. To the south there is a human kingdom with three major cities in our continent: Jork, with 15,000 people, Trondon, with 12,000 and Winnipeg, their capital, with 21,000 people. They have several hamlets scattered all over the place, with populations in the low hundreds, totalling about 200,000 people, the majority of the hamlets concentrating in the yellow areas around the cities. Response against attack in such areas is fast, as the terrain is even, there are roads, and the humans deploy Cavalry, which they have in excess of 400, about 100 in each city and the rest scattered. They also have about 1,000 men which they can deploy, with low quality equipment and poor training, but most of the time they merely garrison cities and villages, and only the cavalry is used as army. The humans believe themselves the only civilized people in this continent. Their leader is King Willpeg.
The swamp to the southwest is home to lizardmen, their city is called Szazis, it has about 8,000 lizardmen. Their army proper is composed of about 40 javelineers, the rest of the people defend the settlement in case of attack.
In the center of the island live two quarreling groups of dwarves underground, locked in an unwinnable war in the tunnels, the Korn and the Zorak. They have in excess of a 100,000 dwarves each, their army about 2,000 dwarves. They are always training more soldiers and often lose men in skirmishes. There is no way they can ever route out their enemies. If they ever stop quarreling and join together, they would be the dominant force in the island.
There are scattered tribes of monsters prowling in the woods. The only ones who are more than random scavengers are Findor a hobgoblin tribe near Jork, Norak a kobold tribe lead strangely enough by a banshee called Elise, and the Pazulu a gnoll tribe that worships demons.
There are 13 mana sources in the island, only one of the captured, the one between Pazulu and Norak, captured by the Pazulu. They are all guarded by monsters, who instinctively build their homes where the magic is strongest.
The largest and most powerful is the one in Szazis, where was once a dragon's lair - but the dragon was killed by an ancestor of King Willpeg and the place is only held as a sacred site by the lizardmen, who do nothing with all that magic.
There is also an island to the south with a powerful mana source. It is guarded by a bunch of nagas, but otherwise uninhabitted.
The four closest mana sources are guarded by Trolls, Harpies, Centaurs and a Nomad holy site.
