Name- Confederacy of Noj
Races contained- Majorly La'Kinem and minimum Digiti due to trade and diplomacy reasons.
Location- Northrenmost continent, on the north part of the southren penninsulae that divides the continent.
Info-
The confederacy of Noj is located on the northeastrenmost continent where it rules the penninsulae which is on the waters that divide the southeastrenmost continent from the northeastrenmost continent. It limits to the deserts that are not close to the shore and their westrenmost reach is at the mountains. There they have small mines which are somewhat rich on resources, although most La'Kinems wear small armours which are not heavy because of their rigid composition. They have farms but most of the time they just eat leaves from the forests. A river crosses the penninsulae dividing it effectively on two and it crosses right on the middle point.
The confederacy of Noj began as a loose collection of kingdoms which then were unified into the Kingdom of Kinel with the capital on Kinel, which now is just a province of Noj. The kingdom grew and dominated most of the confederacy's modern extension. However, internal struggles destroyed the kingdom because of it's weak organization. A stronger kingdom emerged called the Ne'l kingdom. It dominated the whole penninsulae but it was destroyed when the Empire of Kheniem emerged, which dominated the waters where the La'Kinems dominate.
However, a huge wave of nomads attacked the Empire due to climate changes and the empire was destroyed. The nomad tribes went on and razed almost all the cities or towns they found. They also dominated most of the penninsulae except on the very north where a small kingdom called Noj remained with the technologies of the Kheniem, which were greek level. The kingdom of Noj attacked the tribes and many tribes united to resist. At first these were confederacies but as they grew they became kingdoms and had friendlier relations with the Noj. A new wave of tribals attacked which made these kingdoms absorb eachother until 3 remained. Noj, Khuin and Tureim. These united in a confederacy and kicked off the tribes at the north but were halted by the tribes of the south. This began a "Pax Nojica" which lasted for hundreds of years with minor skirmishes on the frontier where the confederacy developed and entered the medieval world. Now, however, the "Pax Nojica" is about to end as more aggresive tribes cross the penninsulae and more skirmishes are occuring and the Noj conquered a few territories. Now the Confederacy is planning to conquer the penninsulae but no more than that unless a new threat rises. They just want to live in peace.
Due to the large peace the culture has been unified (except for the religion) with minor cultural differences. They are the following:
The houses are small but normal. Each house can hold up to 30 mantises and they are just the size of a medium sized room. These houses have trunk skin due to the wooden culture of the confederacy. The wood trunks only remain on that. Skins and certain depth to keep them from falling. This makes them as high as an average house and for mantises they are like apartaments.
The food is simple. These are just leaves and other fruits with some things to make more delicious food. But other than that, they eat just like peasants except for the higher class groups which eat what we can call a good dinner. The foods completely lack of meat but animal skins are still widely used in the society, mainly as cover.
Religion is explained below.
There are different religions due to the fact that is a loose confederacy conformed of different states each with it's own religion. I'll explain them the paragraphs below.
The religion of the State of Noj is called Unuimism. It was made by the prophet Unui and it's basically a religion with no official deity but instead several spirits struggling to gain the control of the main activities of the universe. The sentinent species participate in this struggle by doing their job. For example, if a group is agricultural the spirit of agriculture gains ground. The religion says that once the main spirit gains 75% of the activities of the universe it will establish it's control over all activities, ushering in a new era of peace and prosperity. However if the spirit of war and fight wins it will just create chaos and destruction in the universe. Despite this, a deity or many deities are still allowed, mostly to monitor activities and/or to support a different spirit. They only have priests to keep the war spirit from winning.
The state of Khuin's religion is called Khuinism and was slowly created by prophets. Khuinism is a religion worshipping a main deity, Nihram, the god of righteousness and several other deities similar to him, each representing a different activity. The difference between Khuinism and Unumism is that it says that a special spirit must not win, but instead equilibration must be kept with a minimal margin of difference. If unequality occurs between deities then the universe will crash into chaos. To avoid this happening, one must understand his place in society and that's a way to justify poverty and caste division.
The state of Turenim religion is called Menurinanity. This religion is a monotheist (although mixing with a few deities is allowed) worshiping the god Menurin. This god is thought to be all-powerful and omnipotent. However, to keep him on his seat of power people must give his spiritual forces by praying to him. Conversion to Menurinanity is a strong way to keep him alive and converts are strongly encouraged. According to legent, Menurin didn't need human intervention and created the world. However, there was another deity around that time and they fought against eachother and the other deity died. Menurin's blood supposedly fell on a man of Turenim's town and he became the prophet of Menurilanity because supposedly the blood gave the person knowledge about how Menurin worked. Ever since that fight, Menurin was about to die until the prophet spread his word and he slowly recovered. Menurinanity predicts that once a huge group of peoples (about 10 billon) convert to Menurinality he shall recover and start the apocalypse to save people's souls and bring them to him where they shall live in Nuvii (the world to come) on a life where, even the one who lived the best and who was very optimistic shall feel like his old world was horrible.
The just conquered tribes still worship Animism and Shamanism, but they are often squashed by one of the big 3.
However, due to the political union of these nations a syncretic religion is emerging between these mainly keeping the Noj religion. The syncretic religion is the official but the others are still allowed. Because of this, Khuinism sense of equality between deities is dissapearing slowly encouraged by Unumism's priests.
Info- The Ragnarians are a very old race, on a very old island. A prophecy has been passed around that fortells the sinking of the island some time in the near future, and the Ragnarians are seeking escape. The RCS is a loose binding of the four Ragnarian tribes that work together to find a new home, etc.
The four tribes each have specialties, Warriors, Builders, Scientists, and Politicals.
The fourth tribe (polits) are a binding of the three tribes that have come together to make decisions for the RCS.

Name- Ragnarians
Appearance- I was trying to make a picture, but it looked horrible, so use your imagination!
Locations- Mostly on Ragnarok, the central island, with barbarians/non-sentients on Sentients= Maroon Other-
I hope there's more info in the near future, I can't accept unless I get at least a textual description of your species and a bit more info.
yeah ill edit it but my computers gone atm so im just fixing it up when i can, i dont know how long thisll last but i probably wont start in the IC untill i get my comp working again
actually, sorry. i dont think ill be doing this cuz i just shorted out my motherboard... i dont think im gonna use my phone to make my posts... sorry :\
Well I guess I should get back into forum rps and this does not look too bad, and after some debate on either making a sentient plant species or an amphibious race I decided to go amphibious.
sapient
Name- Nogura
Appearance/biology- They are fish like reptiles. Their upper bodies are similar to that of a humans in structure. They have four powerful arms that end in hands with three claws and a clawed thumb. Their head are V shaped with golden reptile like eyes. They have horns at the back of their head that curve slightly backwards and continue to grow until they are trimmed, females do not grow horns. The have bio-luminescent spots around the edge of their mouths. Their mouths are full of razor sharp teeth that curve back like an alligator's. They also have forked tongues where they can 'smell' by sticking out their tongues and pulling in scents. They can bend their necks straight up from their body. Their upper body stands at about 8 ft and can be upright on land. Their lower body is a long snake like tail with bio-luminescent spots along the side and ending in a rounded lateral fin, their entire lower body is about 10ft in length. Their entire bodies are usually a single color of different shades or a mix of two colors depending upon the race. They have full control over their bio-luminescent areas and can change the color or even turn them off. They use this to speak underwater. Their powerful muscles allow them to move quickly while underwater, tho they slither like a snake on land, and can hit like a human on land would while under water allowing them to be quite powerful above the ocean. They are carnivorous and prefer fish. They also have a strong sense of territory and are quite aggressive with anyone they deem as trespassers. They give live birth to groups of up to three. They have a thick membrane in their windpipe that takes the oxygen out of water and pushes the water out of the windpipe. They can also fairly effectively deal with rapid changes in pressure, though it can cause sickness.
Locations- They can be found in the waters and shores of the western continent with the jungle and the central continent with the bog. A few can also be found in any warm water environment.
Main faction: Black/ dark
Tribes: grey
Other- imatwit
A fish
Name-Ozemka or Iron Fish
biology/appearance- A fish with rainbow like scales that can grow up to 4 feet tall and eight feet long. They are docile and only eat krill, small crustaceans, and seaweed. They have mouths like beaks. They have fat bodies and do not swim very quickly. Their scales and bones are as hard as iron and can be refined to be as hard as steel. It is usually very hard for a preditor to kill them without breaking the armor into dangerous shards. There are certain spots where their scales are weak that can be used to easily kill them.
Locations- They dwell in warm waters usually around islands.
Other- imatwit
faction
Name- Yaumhol
Races contained- Nogura
Location- Along the coastline and quite a bit out into the sea around the south east of the western continent.
Info- An empire forged through diplomacy and war they are quite aggressive with the barbaric tribes around them wishing for them to quickly assimilate into the empire. They rely upon the farming of Ozemka and seaweed to feed them. They also use the Ozemka to create most of their tools, weapons, and armor. There are also coral farms where they guide the growth of coral to be used for underwater construction. Their cities are usually deep underwater superstructures made out of stone and coral using bio-luminescent to light their way around. There are also a few towns on land usually around the shore.
The empire is controlled by a hereditary emperor and regents appointed by that emperor. Regents usually control a city and the land around that city. There is no currency system within the empire yet but with more precious stones being found in underwater caves there could be one soon. The majority of the population is shamanistic, believing in nature spirits, but there is no state religion.
Other- imatwit, it is a lot like rome but underwater.
