History

Actualities/adventure hook, (Rumor and intrigue)

Economy: The country is a major producer of a resource called by some the Star metal or Celestial matter by others. It is dispersed everywhere in the world. Other places are producing this resource as well but here, the deposits are much denser. The resource need to be processed and refined and then melted in order to produce a metal-like substance. It is used to enhance magical items that are sold for a good price in other countries. The magic use can tap into the energy reserve of the Star metal to increase the efficiency of it's magic, thus depleting the metal in the long run. However, using the metal's power is not without risk. Many users had troubling visions, discomfort, loss of consciousness and even seizure when using these items.

Politics: Government, Important organizations, Important characters, Foreign relations
Law : concerning magic, slavery…
Calendar:

other templates:

Looks fairly good, I'm sure we'll add more as we get more and more nations on board and think of things we need for them. I've never played it but the Birthright Campaign setting for d&d might be helpful in developing templates for a nation, so if anyone is familiar with that and could help us it would be great.


Edit: As an aside, I have no idea what Plot "evFW" means. Isn't it easier to just use a reference number and refer back to the map? Wait, is that the co-ordinates from the plot map?

[Azélor]

I"'m not familiar with that setting. For inspiration I used the Forgotten Realms, their wiki and the Wikipedia pages.

Yes these are the coordinates since the place don't have a name yet.

Do you know what you will put in Broken Moon ?
