((Could you make the bio for the large nation mentioned earlier so i can get a good idea on what my population should be))

Name: Goerak

Lifespan: Regular (50 years) Alpha (70 years) Beta (20). Reach the age of adulthood at 6-12 for both types 5 for the Beta, and become elderly in the last 5 years.

Appearance: These beasts are usually around 8 feet tall, but constantly slouch to 6 feet. Their bodies are much like a gorilla. Massive arms that are a foot in diameter that are used for quick travel, seeing as their legs are smaller but still strong enough to hold it up and provide a decent movement speed. (On legs: A human light jogging. Arms: A human full sprint.) They have a very bulky and board torso, and a head a little bigger than that of a human. Their faces are similar to a human's but are more snout like. These creatures can be said to look a lot like humans, except for the red skin. Long dark colored hair grows on the back, and their skin is very thick. (A sword can still pierce the skin like normal, but normal wounds are not as dangerous to their health.)

The Alphas are generally 1-3 feet bigger, faster, and smarter (which doesn't mean much they are still lesser compared to humans)

The Betas are around 3-4 feet tall, slender, and are less intelligent than the rest. A beta has a similar body to that of a human child.

Other: They are not very smart. Battles are usually fought head on with fists or crude clubs. Most armor is just pieces of plate strapped on here and there. Are known to move quickly and quietly through forest, and can blend in well with the use of surrounding materials.
A Goerak can have up to 50 births in one cycle (one cycle ever 1-3 years) Most of the eggs are infertile and used for food. Here are the ratios for birth:
1/50 Alpha (If mated with an Alpha)
4/50 (Regular)
10/50 (Beta)

(If accepted ill post the other bio soon if not i have to make changes)

((When you say fifty births, do you mean fifty eggs being laid or fifty eggs hatching?

I described the world at the bottom of Page One and added a bio for the Empire on Page Three. I'm reserving all land of south of China and East of India (India itself is fair game) for another civilization.)) Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

((About 50 eggs laid. The first hatched usually eat the other eggs. The most common births are described above if an alpha iso born then it eats the rest. If the first Is a regular it'll eat most but leave some for 1-3 more and betas hatch often but the chances of survival are 1-5)) my pop will be low))

Name: Tanik

Leader(s): Narik, Head Chief

Population: 31,500

Races: Goerak
Alpha - 2,500
Regular - 9,000
Beta - 20,000

Location: In what would be Nepal. This area is covered in large trees much like the sequoia, but with more branches that make a dense canopy over the forest. The ground is cluttered with roots and bushes making it difficult to travel. Known as the Tanik Forest.

Capital: Savi

Capital Description: This is their only settlement. It is located in a clearing with a small stream running through it. Mud huts, with wood and stone supports, clutter the ground. Wooden shelf-like structures surround a few trees, and each section can house 1-2. At the stop of these structures are lookout posts. A large tree next to the stream has a large hole carved out of the bottom, which leads to an underground network of tunnels and caverns. This is where most of the Goeraks live. The first area you come to when going into the cave, is a meeting area where the head chief often stays.

Government: Dictatorship. Goeraks tend to follow the strong, and Narik was declared the strongest of all. As head chief he decides everything that happens, and the normal chiefs can only act as advisors. Any one person can challenge Narik to a battle of strength, and the winner gains the title of the loser. This is in place to make sure that the strongest is always in charge.

Economy: Mostly a barter system. It is not uncommon for a traveling merchant to seek a Goerak guide when passing the forest. Since they know the best route, and can be bought for a small strip of silk or some shiny object worth no real value to the merchant.

Military: No real military, but the Alphas have plate armor and crude weapons handy in case the need arises. If the threat is serious enough every regular can and will fight.

Religion: The head chief is seen as a living god. They know he can be killed, but his power is envied by everyone. It is unheard of for anyone to act out against the head chief, but it is very common for others to challenge him to obtain the status of a god. (Their meaning of god is much more simplistic)

Culture: They value strength the most. However, they do not believe in war. All battles should be fought one on one, and anything more is a waste.

History: Most Goerak were in small tribes that roamed the forest lead by the strongest of each group. It is said that Narik challenged every leader in the forest to fight him at the same time. It is also said that he took down 100 Alphas without getting a single scratch. Hearing these rumors the tribes flocked to him, and worshiped him as a new kind of Goerak that is stronger than the Alphas.

Other: (Parts of my original names got censored :( . )

Name: Half-Giants
Lifespan: 120-150 years. Stages of life are approximately proportional to humans. They also reproduce slightly slower than regular humans.

Appearance: Human in appearance besides being an average of 9-10 feet tall.

Other: Half-giants can be as varied as regular humans. Some may be artisans, some warriors, it mostly depends on their society’s culture. They can be killed anyway a human can, though a wound on a half-giant must be a few inches deeper than the same wound on their human counterpart. Their crafts lack the finesse of human artisans, but they are NOT crude. Naturally they have greater strength than a regular human, but they tend to appear more sluggish due to the laws of momentum. That being said a conditioned warrior can be surprisingly quick. They are not less intelligent than humans; however, they tend to advance technology more slowly because they can solve with their strength what humans must solve with their minds.

Name: Londor
Leader(s): King Vilkar
Population: 300,000
Races: Half-Giants, Humans
Location: Northern India. Bordering Tanik.

Capital: Damas
Capital Description: Damas is a large city founded where the Garan River meets the ocean. The Garan River runs southeast from the mountains in the north to the coast. Damas is the main trade hub for items shipped down from the river and imports coming into the port. Large buildings made of stone and Roman-style concrete are packed in the walls of the city forming residencies for nobles and a large market place. The palace sits near the center of the city dwarfing many of the other buildings despite their own remarkable size.

Government: Similar to a feudal-era monarchy. Lords take a share of the serfs crops as tax, but the rest is left to them to sell on the market.

Economy: Londor has an established currency consisting of copper, silver, and gold pieces.

Military: 5,000 active soldiers and 15,000 in reserve. The reserve soldiers will take time to be organized and fully equipped once a war starts.

Religion: More of a philosophical set of beliefs like Confucianism or Buddhism. They do not believe in a god, but they believe in a universal spirit. Additionally they believe in a system of karma, where good deeds are rewarded and bad deeds are punished.

Culture: Londor is a peaceful artisan society. Most make their living either through crafts or farming. Farmers live all along the Garan River using terrace farming to make the best of the hilly terrain. Lords take a flat tax from their serfs allowing them to gain more benefits from working hard to get a better harvest. This also allows for more social mobility and many farmers’ children move to the capital every year to learn a craft. The population is mostly composed of half-giants; however, many humans join the artisans in the capital to aid them in task that require more dexterity and finesse.

History: Londor was founded by a wave of migrant half-giants coming from the mountains to the northwest. Originally they moved down to the river valleys below and settled there to farm. The soil was rich and food was plentiful so the population grew quickly, for half-giants, along the river. A small settlement that stayed in the mountains discovered rich mineral veins in the rocks and began producing iron farm tools to be shipped downstream to the farmlands in exchange for food, which helped their settlement grow and produce more tools. The tools in turn allowed for better farming and bountiful harvests. Eventually the port of Damas was founded at the mouth of the Garan River. Damas became a center of trade and attracted many craftsmen eager to manufacture the raw materials from upstream into their products. Among the artisans there were also a handful of innovators, some of whom discovered a means to create a concrete similar to what the Roman Empire used, allowing for the masterpieces of architecture, which now fill the capital, to be constructed.
