Races & Cultures
All the fantasy races exist and this is the political
This is going over the cultural differences that clash with other races in multiple different things first let’s start with the races and people who hold the most significant power and we’re gonna treat these pieces like they were cards
Humans: So first things first the pieces the humans have on the board is as follows the kingdom that is currently housing all sorts of races was originally a human kingdom along with that 45% of the funds in the treasure vault is humans along with that multiple generals seem to be generals of their respective division Those Being Frank Killax The chaos Weaver and Arga’Thar the iron wing though there has been a conflict between the humans and dragon born whether or not they should count as his tool along with that they have the only other Frost mage Alyssia Treadlight as well as the majority of base soilders are human as well as the population meaning anyone sided with the humans tends to get the votes of the majority as well as having a alliance with the orcs and elf’s
Elves : What the elf’s have on the board is a large data base on the predaplant early development and what is could possibly be as well as adding a 15% to the total fund to the treasure to add onto that there have been rumors that the chief of the orcs is marrying the queen of the elves as well as having an alliance with said orcs and humans they also have scholars who are hundreds of years old and are constantly collecting data on each colsasi theorizing on what they could all be as well as the development of nano magic with the dwarfs
Orcs: Orcs while they don’t have much cards to play the ones they play are sure are strong They have the Sun’s fang as their chief and the raw brute force the orcs bring as well as they seem capable of doing the most with the least as well as having proficient training regiments for all ranks they also make up 20% of the manual labor workforce and add 7.4% of money into the total treasurey
Dragonborn: These ones don’t have much on the board or the cards aren’t to strong but they act the most powerful All they have is the half dragon born Depth tyrant and have 3.6% of the total treasurey
Goblins: while not having a bunch of strong cards they have a bunch of normal ones that can lead to results if played right They have the highest population count and are in alliance with the teiflings meaning any teiflings decision has the backing of the goblins as well as they are very proficient in stealth and have good survivability in collasai territory along with that they have the ability to make great clothes for any situation and take up 63% of the manufacturing especially in the military
Teiflings: While they don’t have much to offer they actually do have something to offer and that’s the alliance with the goblins and great training regiments in the 4 basic elements
Beast people : these ones don’t have much on the board but they are content with that they sit make up the most of the manual labor workforce
Now we’re onto what each race wants
Humans all the humans wanna do is to defeat these collasai and get their kingdom that is now a patchwork mess of races
The elves the elves just want to write down as much possible info on the collasi and to tame or harness the predaplant due to its affiliation with nature
The orc just want their desert back it wa once a very prosperous desert plus they see retreating from their homeland as the ultimate disgrace
The Dragonborn want to be rulers of all of humanity and are willing to do anything if you know the right people
Goblins the goblins are sorta like hired mercenaries they do anything for gold and that’s why teiflings like them so much so they sorta stay or do anything as long as they get payed
Teiflings: They want to unlock all branches of magic including the ones locked by the collasi especially chaos magic which they theorized that they get by killing the chimera
Beast folk: All they really want it to be accepted by humans and are willing to go the mile to do so
How they would conflict
The elves see the predaplant as sorta a guardian so the existence of the predaplant division or more specifically the existed of Frank and the burning down the forest cause some tension with humans and orcs along with that the orcs see the fact that their not immediately trying to hunt down the collasi as a disgrace to their honor while the humans see all these new races taking over their home as a mockery. The goblins actually quite like living here because they don’t have to live in tents and get full house and ready to eat food as do the teiflings thanks to unlimited funding and things to kill the beast folk see this as a chance to make amends for the past while the dragon horns see his as a chance to the throne
