There is no matching date for the current time in Kalaurth, nor is there any historical record of any place with this name ever existing anywhere in space or time. What there is, in this world, is belief. The greatest joys and fears of all blooded (and many unblooded) creatures realised, a palce where you could be saved from death from the hands of a Corpsewalker by a Thunder God, only to have him inflict worse upon you. A place where the imagination is key- or at least, once was. The age old secrets of the manipulation of the Irregularis, as the Mage's refer to it, in the Mundus were lost, destroyed by iron, and fire, and steel, and malice. The tyrannical Old Human Empire lies in tatters, it's banners still fluttering listlessly from the broken, still watchful parapets.

Now, the world is a far harsher place. The race's war between each other and themselves, and the very Earth rebels against it's former masters. However, out of the darkness and the fog, a light must come. One great soul, to unite all of the Realm to it's former glory- or to bring it down in flaming ruin to it's final, bitter end. Only time will tell, but of course, time is a contruct of the Mundus.

OOC: This is your fairly run of the mill High Fantasy, Past Tech World roleplay. You just fill out the template below, tell me where you want to be on the map, and then decide the fate of your new nation. I've also got a useful link under here to a brilliant site for getting names.
Oh, and a final note. The help of a map maker is requested, nay, sorely needed. I mean, look at my craptastic effort.

EG:
Nation Name: Naurimor
Race: Elvish/Human Half Breed
Race Traits: The physical appearance of the Naurimorians varies widely because of the elvish and human blood mix, but the commonest variant is around 6 foot in height, with olive skin, pointed ears, blue and black hair.
Leader: King Lossencairion (http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z107/Kain1235/EmperorKaos.jpg)
History of Nation: The history of the Desert Empire of the Naurimor is one filled with blood and hardship. Starting as settlers of the Old Human Empire, they were seen as little more than slaves. After 100 years of opression, they had finally gathered the strength and will to fight back, to rebel againt their overlords.
They failed.
They were exiled from their homes, cast out into the deserts of the Suhtland Expanse. They set up tribes there, mostly along the banks of the River Rozal, and did the best they could to scrape by. They occasionally banded together, forming alliances by nothing but word of mouth and a handshake, to attack Old Empire outposts or other tribes. Eventually, through shrewd negotations and even shrewder backstabbing, the Nourimor tribe came to be the strongest, allying themselves with the Desert Elven-Kin. Over the centuries, the two race's cultures merged, their two races binding together in one. The small hamlet that had been the tribes main village had grown into Haketh-al Kah, City of Ravenrock in their native language. From there, repelling the endless horrors of the Southlands had been relatively easy, but the warrior culture it has burned into them lingers today.

TEMPLATE:
Nation Name: The Greater Chazakain Federation

Leader: Hellii the destroyer (http://www.sideshowtoy.com/placed/093005sauron_p17lg.jpg) (same as the rest of his race)
History of Nation: The hellspawn were braught into the world long ago when a human magician bound several powerful warrier daemons in to suits of armor. This spell was mutualy benificial becuase the daemons got blood and carnage while the magicians enimys were vanquished.

In time the magician rose to a position of power and had an army of so many deamons no one dared opose him ore his allys. The daemons rapidly tired of thier service and rebeled against the magician. He was able to vanquish all but Hellii who simply absorbed his attackes and sent them back two-fold uterly obliterating him and draining him of all his power. Seeing the benafits of being on the mortal world Hellii took up residance in the south-west of the darklands, binding the deamons he encountered on the way into armor. In return he promised them strength, unity and power. Naturaly they acepted.

Now they have literaly thousands of deamonic warriers of varying strength bound in identical armor in a large region of fire and destructive energy and now they hunger once more for blood and death.

Nation Name: The Holy Empire of Byanzintine
Race: Men, Dwarfs, and the few feathered drakons that still grace the mountains.
Race Traits: The Feathered Drakons are the only truly unique supplicants of the Empire. They are typical of the rare drakons, only their feathers help insulate them from the terrible cold of the north.
Leader: The Emperor Nekrhuaol the Drakon
History of Nation: The hillsides and the plains, the cities and the caves, the nest and the home, for endless years the triad had warred for dominance and supremacy over these spaces, and the land was steeped in blood. War was the currency that bought new land to cultivate and grow upon.

It was blood that anointed their covenant. It was a season of harvest, and a star fell from the heavenly raiment to earth. The priests of the Lord, and the many soothsayers were agitated with dread of a coming storm. Dismayed the Human Emperor Constantine, the Drakon Sorcerer Tyrant Lzhat-naaz, and the Dwarf Forgemaster Tzimces signed a new set of government between them, in the hopes of mutual protection from the feared annihilation. They surrendered their independence to a new Empire which they formed from their peoples.

It was ironic that they were the storm that would sweep away the other peoples. In one reunification war after another, they conquered their foes with the horrifying power of their matrimony, bringing into their fold their greatest rivals. Those that were their friends, they subjugated with caravans of goods that flowed through their joint industries.
