>>6087012Civilization: Habituns (Svartalfs and Shadows)
Capital Name: Fuaha
Brief Summary of Nation: Doomsday Svartalfs (think a cross between drow and dwarves) prepping for the death of the sun by adaptation-rushing the one (fun) place where light never reaches: underground.
Optional Fluff:
>In the beginning, there was darkness. From darkness we come, and to darkness we must return. The sun, pox upon existence, shall die in time. "But whyfor", our ancestors asked, "must we wait?" For once blessed Tenebrae comes upon us, then all shall be equal under her dusky gaze. "Nay" sayeth the ancestors, "we shall not be equal to they who spurn inevitable salvation until it is upon them!" And so started our burrow, to prepare for what will come.>In towns of everdusk you shall find the Svartalfs, within ever-shadowed valleys and aboveground caverns. They endure the loathsome light and its sources, to deal with the ignorant lightdwellers, and collect us what we need for the burrow.>And underneath, through wells and cracks, pits and geysers, you may find the Shadows. Eschato-Svartalfs in their element. Whilst unable to exist in any light but that of warm terra, they are shapeless when they wish, and swifter than any when none can see. They study and perfect our future dwellings, and the bones of our future glorious empire.- Nursery Tender Erika Mura'Bya,

Actions 1 and 2: Expand territory
>Our river mouth was our lifeblood, but we needed to know its extent. To that end, we sent contingents of our scouts through the forests to secure its surroundings, clearing out predators and staking claims. On its end, we found a lake. We would name it lake Supkha, for its greenish color.>One of our scouts got slightly lost, and found himself a spring. A great find, and a secondary source of waters for our peoples.>To the west, we dug and traversed the mountains, logging any and all habitable caves for our shadows. We also found an ocean. Name to be determined.- Scoutsmaster Ivar Buraq,
