The ruling family are wood elves, as is most of the population of the largest island, but there'd be strong minorities of humans and halflings, as well as a token presence of half-elves and (through Gravy's kingdom) drow. Given the tendency for Carabians to try to settle islands on the Central...

In that case, the popular Mesian (kingdoms have names, and I think the Mesian Isles is fitting for an archipelago in the Central Sea) religion is the Living Pantheon, which is a mix of animistic gods and ancestor worship. Ironic, I know, but the idea is that the ancestors fill vacancies, or take...

I'd actually forgotten about that rule. I'm thinking I'll sub in Acrobatics, and pick up Religion and Survival through the class. Given the shamanic roots of the concept, I figure knowing the deities of a given island is more important than knowing the wildlife. Forgetting which plants are...

So, looking over my concept, I realize that my race (Wood Elf) and background (Sailor) both grant proficiency in Perception. How feasible would it be for an elven sailor to get Acrobatics (staying balanced on deck,) Nature (familiarity with aquatic wilderness,) or Survival (navigating natural...

Looks good. Dibs on the archipelago, for obvious reasons.

Thinking on it, with some of the spells available to Druids, my island shaman elven princess (my male characters die a lot more than my females for some reason) would probably be a better tank than a dwarven Sword Bard. I'll be going with that concept whether we need a front line person or not.

I figured wizard land would have soldiers, but I felt compelled to point out that a lack of internal conflict didn't assure a lack of conflict. It's part of why my druid concept is an archipelago, so that the farmland and fishers (which would export excess food to inland neighbors) is safer from...

1. This feels like it should have been mentioned before the Klingon Promotion part. 2. Assuming there's no outer conflict from the barbarian realms that our DM keeps saying we're surrounded by. Unless @tirrene and @Pluff0 have front liner characters to represent front liner nations that take up...

...I don't see how such a government would be stable long enough to become friends with the non-barbaric kingdoms, what with staging coups being a legal tradition. I don't know which character concept I'm using yet, but either one's nation would be made more than a little nervous about such a...

Time spent visiting with foreign royalty is time not spent administering local nobility that tasks of governance are delegated to. While that might not be an issue for a primarily rural archipelago that leans heavily on their navy and a strong tradition of shamanistic worship of nature gods, or...

Makes sense. Sounds like things are at more of a city-state scale for the individual kingdoms, then. Is Xanathar's Guide to Everything Allowed? -If not, Variant Human Cleric with the War Domain and the Soldier Background. -If so, does the party need a front line combatant? --If not, Wood Elf...

I have entirely too many character ideas. I assume that our nations are neighbors of at least somewhat good standing. Do we have a specific starting continent, or NPC neighbor states of note?

That's what I hope to do, yes.

Assuming we can vote for more than one... [X] Pillars of the State - You are all heirs to the throne - princes and princesses that will one day run your respective kingdoms. But royalty in this universe is expected to go out adventuring and fighting evil directly in addition to engaging in...

I'm interested, capable of Discord and/or PbP, and while I'm adverse to low level characters in campaigns rooted in high end esoteric travel powers... I'm a bit of a sucker for nation building, especially when I can influence the background of the nation. At the same time, though, a roaring...
