-Man is a human kingdom modeled after the myths of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Arthur|King Arthur]] and the kingdoms of Andor and Tar Valon in the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wheel_of_Time|The Wheel of Time]] book series.+The Kingdom of Man was once the land of [[Fomoria-ea|Fomoria]], or at least a land connected to that one. Though a bountiful domain, the Fomorians did a lot of damage to the place through their wars with Partholonians, Nemedians, and finally the [[tir-na-n-og-ea|Tuatha]]. Their back-and-forth with those superhuman elves, with the half-elven Fir Bolg used as peons by both sides, ultimately ended with Fomoria ruined and the Tuatha victorious; not that their victory was long-lived, for then humanity arrived. 
 + 
 +The first humans in Man were the Logrians, guided by warrior-shamans of a seemingly-[[Ulm-ea|Ulmish]] background. Migrating to the once-Fomorian landmass, they coexisted with the Fir Bolg at first, but expelled most of them the moment an opportunity arose. This chance came with the Milesian invasion of the Tuatha's imperial core (now known as [[Eriu-ma|Eriu]]), causing the Tuatha and their Sidhe descendants to abandon Fomoria in a bid to salvage the situation. From there, the Logrians' new home was called Logres; that was the only thing the various Logrian tribes could agree on, however, and they entered a period of feuding petty kings. 
 + 
 +Logres became Man with the arrival of the Witches, non-Logrian ladies who heard notes of magic from the forests and came to find the full songs. Eventually they found their prize, the Enchanted Forest of Avalon, and treasure troves of Sidhe [[spell-singer|spellsongs]]. Their discovery made them the most powerful beings in the land, so they united Logres and chose a non-Logrian King for it. The Logrian families remain as much of the Kingdom of Man's nobility, but their men are forbidden from joining the Witches' coven; the closest some can get, aside from eavesdropping and becoming Bards, is through supplicating to the Witches and becoming their Wardens.

The Logrian element of the nation (with Logres being the name of King Arthur's dominion in //The Matter of Britain//) was more-or-less added in Dominions 4, to represent the Anglo-Saxons; they ran petty kingdoms until forced to unite by outside pressures, mainly from the Norse and their descendants.

-FIXME+ 
 +Man is a fairy-tale place, with the happy (or at least //neutral//) paths of {{:misc:magic:nature.png?14&nolink}}**Nature**, {{:misc:magic:air.png?14&nolink}}**Air**, {{:misc:magic:earth.png?14&nolink}}**Earth**, {{:misc:magic:water.png?14&nolink}}**Water**, and {{:misc:magic:fire.png?14&nolink}}**Fire**. 
 + 
 +[[Nature|Nature's]] the big one; your Crones of Avalon can get {{path>N4}} without Boosters, and {{path>N6}} with the ones you can easily craft. Having at least a pinch of {{:misc:scales:luck.png?14&nolink}}Luck (or at least not maximum {{:misc:scales:misfortune.png?14&nolink}}Misfortune) may allow you to get one of the national Heroes that can craft your missing Booster, bringing you up to **{{path>N7}}**. That's essentially all the Nature you need for casting whatever Nature spells you want, though it does require [[Construction]] [[Research|Level 6]]. 
 + 
 +[[Air]] is capped at **{{path>A3}}**. I cry every time. On the bright side, that's enough for quite a few spells, and your {{path>A3}}'s have a lot of {{path>A1}}'s and {{path>A2}}'s to support them in Chorus Communions, giving you whatever big buffs you think you'll need (and/or a ginormous pile of ??Living Clouds??). There's also ??Storm?? and ??Summon Storm Power??, if you feel like spending your Air Gems on things other than Owl Quills. 
 + 
 +[[Earth]] has a slightly-higher ceiling than Air, but it's expensive and a bit manly. Logrian Wise Men can have {{path>E2}}, or {{path>E3}} with the Booster, and you can slap those shoes on a Troll King for **{{path>E4}}** if you're swimming in Earth Gems (or your {{path>A2W2E3S2N3}} Hero if you're not). Honestly, [[Empowerment|Empowering]] the {{path>E2}} is cheaper, but the Troll King is less likely to die. In battle, your ceiling is either **{{path>E4}}** or **{{path>E5}}**, depending on how dearly you clung to your Gems, thanks to ??Summon Earthpower??; this is basically all you need in battle, at least for the bare minimum, but you //could// use the Chorus Communion with your rare Earth Witches to top it. 
 + 
 +[[Water]] is stuck at {{path>W1}} on your recruits, and not very common at that, but it comes on {{path>N3}}'s and can thus be used for the dreaded ??Foul Vapors??. With Construction 6 and a drop of good fortune, you can reach your national ceiling of **{{path>W2}}**; if you got that {{path>A2W2E3S2N3}} Hero, however, you can climb to **{{path>W3}}** or **{{path>W4}}**, or even to **{{path>W5}}** if you have enough Water Gems for a Sea King. In battle, the good ol' Chorus Communion can boost your Water levels to whatever you need, potentially enough to cast ??Fire Fend?? for your ??Barkskin??-wearing troops. 
 + 
 +[[Fire]] is stuck at **{{path>F1}}**, found on your Logrian Wise Men sometimes. It's enough for some Site-Searching, some [[Fire Resistance]], some ??Magma Bolts??, and some crafting of Lightless Lanterns. Unlike with Earth, the Logrian Wise Man's primary specialty, it's not taken up by the Witches and is therefore ineligible for the Chorus Communion; unless you got that magical {{path>A2W2E3S2N3}} Hero, anyway, who can craft the Crystal Matrix and thereby allow one of your Logrian Wise Men to lead the choir. 
 + 
 +You're left out of {{:misc:magic:astral.png?14&nolink}}**Astral** (mostly), {{:misc:magic:death.png?14&nolink}}**Death**, and {{:misc:magic:blood.png?14&nolink}}**Blood**, all of which are (mostly) //icky// paths; [[Astral]] outside of your three Astral-bearing Heroes can be somewhat ignored since you have Chorus Communions, however, while [[Death]] can be (meagerly) entered via the Troll Shamans and [[Blood]] can be bootstrapped into. 
 + 
 +DISCLAIMER: This doesn't acknowledge the 1/160 chance of getting {{path>A4}} on one of your slow-to-recruit capital-only Witches, which would allow you to craft both of the Air-Boosters for **{{path>A6}}**. It also doesn't acknowledge the 1/160 chance of getting {{path>W2}} on one of them, or the 1/160 chance of getting {{path>N5}} on one of them, or any Unique summons such as the [[Elemental Royalty]] or the Treelords (one of which has **{{path>B1}}**).

This happens most easily with two forts and a castle((Man capital is castle! Thrones should get castle!)) bordering a province.
