{{ :nations:flags:ma_asphodel.png?nolink|}} ====== MA Asphodel, Carrion Woods ====== ===== Lore ===== Asphodel was once part of Pangaea, a woodland nation inhabited by wild beings connected with nature. Halfmen such as satyrs, centaurs and minotaurs serve the lords of the Sacred Groves deep in the forests. In ancient times, the woods covered much of the world, but that has changed. Man is no longer beast and animals are no longer wild. The world of the wild is disappearing. In response to the destruction of the wild forests a dark and hungry God has arisen. The Panii of the sacred groves could not prevent the destruction of the wilderness and a few of them have revolted and struck back with dark fury upon the civilized world. The Panic Apostates and their followers have been touched by the Dark God and their hides are colored as black as the mood of the vengeful forest. But victory comes at a price. Halfmen as well as civilized men succumb to the Curse of the Carrion Woods. Asphodel is slowly turning into a cursed forest realm haunted by living carrion //"If you have walked in a forest with trees covered in ivy and stumbled across the carcass of a dead animal, partly covered by leaves and vines, your imagination might give life to the vines and the roots of the nearby plants. The carrion jerks and twitches as the roots give life to the dead animal. It opens its jaws and lets out a silent hiss. \\ \\ Asphodel is a nation of the vengeful wild. Panii and halfmen of Pangaea have revolted against their brethren and unleashed the powers of a dark and hungry god upon the living world. Vines and roots turn into slithering and growing entities strangling the living in their sleep and reanimating their corpses as marionettes of vines and bones. These marionettes are known as manikin. The first carrion beasts appeared in one of my Ars Magica campaigns. There was a manikin in the bestiary that sparked my imagination and resulted in animal carcasses reanimated by vines. The concept has always been something I liked, and I suspect is has sneaked into other TTRPG campaigns of mine from time to time. \\ \\ Asphodel as a Dominions nation has a history similar to Lemuria. The nation was once a theme in Dominions 2 that was removed and made into a global spell available to primarily late age Pangaea. Unfortunately, this made the whole setting of the Carrion Woods rare, and that was a pity. We decided to remake the old theme into a new Pangaean splinter nation." -Illwinter// ===== General Overview ===== If you are considering picking this nation to play, what should you know? ===== National Features ===== ^ Magic Access ^ Alt.

If there are still human inhabitants or at least dead human corpses in the province, there is a chance for manikins and mandragoras to appear. If not there will be different kinds of carrion beasts reanimated instead. The carrion beasts are based on animals and these types can always be reanimated. Reanimate Manikins will be much less effective if done in an enemy dominion. More powerful priests will be able to reanimate more creatures per month, but the quality is the same. **Plants Raise the Dead:** The living will die and be animated by vines and roots to serve in the war against the world. Manikins will rise from the corpses of humans, animals, satyrs, harpies, minotaurs, and other creatures animated by the vines and the malign will of the God of the Vengeful Woods. Disciples will also get this effect and their population will soon be killed. Being a disciple to Asphodel will not be easy. Domain reanimates the unburied dead as manikins. Carrion beasts everywhere but more in {{:misc:gui:forest.png?15&nolink}}forests. More are reanimated in {{:misc:gui:forest.png?15&nolink}}forests, {{:misc:gui:temple.png?15&nolink}}temples, and with higher {{:misc:scales:growth.png?15&nolink}}Growth scales. {{:misc:scales:magic.png?15&nolink}}Magic scales increase the chance of better reanimations. ===== National Units =====
