>>5849374>Nation nameDelacana - The Bright Lands
>Race/racesSkaians - Diminutive (Hobbit-sized) humanoids. Exceedingly light, they move akin to humans on the moon, 'bouncing' along in leaps and bounds. Though flesh and blood, they are distantly related to odd fire elementals, a strong 'candle' motif running through their culture and appearance.
>ReligionThe inverse of ancestor worship, they believe that a great and terrible cataclysm will befall the world, and that their descendants, or perhaps some other people's distant offspring, will be responsible with ushering in a new age amidst the ruins of this one. These distant heirs are the most important figures in their history, and much prophecy and speculation on their roles and identity is made.
>CultureA heavy emphasis on long-lasting, grand structures, sustained by advanced architecture, solid materials, and magic, if possible. Xenophilic, they welcome any and all assistance in delaying, preventing and predicting the 'Cataclysm', and anything that will leave aid for the post-doomed civilizations that will rise.
>HistoryThe Delacunan people were largely nomadic by nature in their cultures formative years, and the ruins of ages long past that they saw on their travels has left an indelible mark on their world-view. What was once, will be again, and what will be, once was, as they say. To last for as long as possible, whether as a culture or an individual, is the highest calling.
>Starting actions1 - Quarries, Mines, and other things that aid in construction
2 - Texts, murals and hieroglyphs, to preserve what was, and to guide what comes.
3 - Lake access - Fresh water is needed in ever greater quantities, so irrigation is needed.
4 - Temples; The first of our great monoliths, which must last a thousand thousand thousand years!
5 - Boats; Small at first, but lakes make for easy sailing. However, the open ocean beckons, one short river ride away...
6 - Games for all ages! We can't let the stuffy priests and elders hog ALL the quarried stone! Build courts and fields, and games will grow organically from them.
