 quote:Excerpt from “Of the Foul and Barbarian People” by Yiridhren of the Ever-Bright Dawn arcanium: Welcome to the Fantasy Civilization CYOA! As you may have gathered from the title, the objective of this game is to take a small village of humanoids that are considered monsters and savages by the powers of the continent, and guide them from their native territories, scarce of resources and value, towards a grander destiny than the one seemingly in store for them, and prove those pretentious so-called Civilized people wrong. For starters, please cast two votes for which races will populate our little village. The two most popular races will be chosen, with the winner being the majority and the runner up the minority, with some adjustements for scale. A minority of goblins will be more numerous than a majority of orgres, but there will be enough ogres their presence is felt the most. paradoxGentleman fucked around with this message at 09:23 on Jun 2, 2016 |

Gnolls and Tengu because it seems like they'd get along awesomely due to not competing for the same resources but benefiting from cooperation. Like ravens and wolves!

Trogs and Tengus. One group for aboveground, one for belowground, each working together to forge a greater destiny. (alternately: "Hey we found shinies underground and crows like shinies but we don't care about how shiny they are 'cause we can't see so we'll trade 'em to you for things wot smell neat")

Tengus win by a landslilde, but we have a tie between Trogs and Gnolls. Which means you get TWO minorities! What an example of mulitculturalism. Writing now.

Birds of a Feather: the way of the Tengu -Beyond basic survivability, the greatest perk that potential home can have, in the eyes of a murder of tengus, is an approachable spiritual neighborhood. Every tengu can speak with kami, beings invisible to most that are the spiritual manifestation of places and concepts. Learned tengus can investigate local kamis to understand what interests them, and can broker with them for blessings in exchange for sacrifices and offerings, or respecting certain taboos. Majority bonus: Your village starts off with an understanding with the local kami court. As long as you mantain some minor sacrifices in their name, you will be forewarned of any menace approaching your village that can be detected by kami eyes, plus some other blessing depending on your starting location. -A village with tengus starts off with access to rice and bamboo, a reliable source of food in humid weather and a lightweight material capable of sustaining their weight, that they use to build houses and palisades. Whisper from the Depths: the way of the Trog -The trogs that joined your initial flock brought with them knowledge of the Deep Powers, which they claim are far older than the gods of the surface. Wheter they are just very powerful kami or a completely different type of entity is a subject of hot debate between tengu and trog sages.Sizeable Minority bonus: Nevertheless, you will start with an Underground Shrine to these Powers, dug by the trogs. You may assign workforce to performing rituals here to get the attention of the Powers and receive the eldritch knowledge they posses. -A village with trogs start off with a moat and knowledge of stoneworking, since they are natural diggers, and can build a mushroom farm, which produces a low amount of food almost costantly. Laughter through the Woods: the way of the Gnoll. -Gnolls are carnivorous, and the lack of agriculture has taught them not to waste anything, since you never know if your next hunt will be succesful; which means that yes, they are cannibals. Feeding on a sapient being, however, provides insight in the Far River, that the dead cross upon death, according to gnoll folklore. However, they are such a small minority in your village that more insight is required before any particular benefit can be gained by this fact. -A village with gnolls starts off with knowledge of animal training and husbandry, and a pen containing a location-appropriate animal, that both sates the gnolls' need for meat and provides some other material obtained from this animal. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The ever growing hunger and greed of the Civilized races has caused them to expand into any place of with resources for them to exploit. The only locations where your village could grow and develop undisturbed are the ones where nothing of apparent value can be found, often in places already squeezed dry of anything of value. Vote a single location to get us started.  Strip Mined Mountain: The Silver Clan Council of the dwarves has depleted many a mountain of metals and gemstones, leaving piles of gravel and stone not worth the effort of dragging back to their underground halls. You have settled right next to an example of their handiwork, not far from the Sea of Sands to the east. The temperature isn't quite as boiling hot as that accursed desert, and between the rain season and the underground rivers your rice fields should be able to just barely work, assuming you aren't hit with too many sand or dust stroms. You are dangerously close to the Council's land, and although there is nothing of interest to them anymore here, the local governor will harass you once he discovers your presence here. Tengu Kami Patron: The Prince of Destruction. Having recently dethroned Grandfather Mountain as leader of the kami court, this young, turbulent being will make sure there is plenty of death when you go to war (he will not guarantee you that it only happens on the other side unless more greatly mollified) in exchange for the destruction of the sculpture of a mountain once a year. Gnoll Tamed Animal: Minor Komodo Drake. These medium-sized lizard taste delicious when roasted over a fire, and can provide hide for clothes and (very) light armor.  Polluted Swamps: the garbage, both magical and mundane, produced by many of the cities in the Paerfet Elven Empire is discarded into Faenel river and ends up here, where it mutates the local fauna horribly. These swamps extend for miles, and you are deep enough in them not to be disturbed by Empire troops. On the other hand, this place is rife with maladies and pestilences, and mutants of all shape and sizes haunt it. Your rice should really prosper here if you manage to avoid it being mutated in a dangerous way, and your sages ponder if any use could be found for the mysterious flora and fauna found here. Tengu Kami Patron: the Chimera. This long-suffering, hybrid creature will grant you some resistance to the poisons of the swamp, in exchange for the sacrifice of three different animals once every two seasons. Gnoll Tamed Animal: Melting crab. These things that were once simple crustaceans have shells big enough to provide unweildy but decent armor, although building one requires a lot of work.  Sun-Bleached Savannah: Far to the south of the Republic, this place is far too dry to accomodate rice, meaning that you will have to survive on berries and hunting until you can find a proper substitute or find a watering hole humid enough to at least try. Your gnolls assure you that this place must be rich in animal life, which means that hunting could provide with easy food... or might end in disaster as you meet predators you are not yet familiar with. You occasionally receive reports of human scouts, which might imply that the Republic has plans for this place. Temu Kami Patron: Grandmother Rhino. This towering patron of all big herbivores promises you that she will provide you with seeds that can grow in this weather somewhat reliably, if you in vow not to eat any animal larger than a lion. Your gnolls clack their jaws in frustration at that, but will obey if there is the need for it. Gnoll Tamed Animal: Zebra. Everyone loves zebras, their hides are beautiful and they can be ridden! paradoxGentleman fucked around with this message at 16:48 on Jun 2, 2016 |

I say Strip Mined Mountain, if not for anything else then for defensive value. Our tengus can fly, at least for a bit, and such is a huge advantage in steep terrain that is hard for land-dwellers to scale and that offers no trees or other protection from airborne threats. Also, stone for our trogs to make fancy buildings out of!

The Polluted Swamps I like the patron kami of this location more than the others. Also, dealing with mutated wildlife sounds pretty cool. We also might find something useful in the trash.

Feels like Trogs would have trouble finding any underground to feel comfortable in in the Swamp. I'll let the others decide, though.

Strip Mountain - Deep enough for the Trog temple. Closer to the voice. - Mountain layered rice field - Sectioned layout allows tengus to hops from level to level
