 <WRAP column half>Sceleria is DEAD! At least it out-"lived" Ermor, its parent-state and its undead shame. They didn't beat it themselves, though, and they even repeated its terminal mistake. You see, after Ermor was stopped, Sceleria's commoners got over their fear of skeletons, and the skeleton-reanimating Mage-Priests of the Death Cult were petitioned to till the fields with their puppets. The Mage-Priests had no interest in Death anymore, since their cross to bear (causing Ermor's Undeath) had been lifted, so they ultimately decided to open a Soul Gate to the Underworld. They were hoping that the souls of Ermor & Sceleria's deceased would love to return to work in the land of the living... let's just say they were partially right. </WRAP><WRAP> {{:nations:la:lemuria:spectral_hastatus.png?nolink}} {{:nations:la:lemuria:spectral_principe.png?nolink}} {{:nations:la:lemuria:spectral_triarius.png|This guy's glad he's dead!}} \\ {{:nations:la:lemuria:lemur_acolyte.png?nolink}} {{:nations:la:lemuria:lemur_thaumaturg.png?nolink}} {{:nations:la:lemuria:grand_lemur.png|This guy's "Immortal" now!}} {{:nations:la:lemuria:lemur_consul.png|How can they wear armor?}} \\ {{:nations:la:lemuria:spectral_standard.png|Even ghosts can get scared!}} {{:nations:la:lemuria:spectral_lictor.png?nolink}}

 <WRAP column half>Marignon is a Spanish-themed Kingdom, and about as close to modern-day technology as it can get (pre-gunpowder). Born from the ashes of Ermor, it accomplished its great crusade for survival at the end of the Middle Ages by destroying the Undead menace. This took everything the Kingdom had, however -- well, actually, it took //more// than the Kingdom had, so now Marignon has a debt that it can never repay. That debt is owed to Hell itself, but the Lords of the Inferno are easier to bargain with than mindless Undead Legions. Even now, Marignon is somewhat-reliant on Devils, since its Knights died fighting Ermor and the urgency for new ones to enlist is gone. It can now pick out weaker foes overseas, however, which is nice.</WRAP><WRAP> {{:nations:la:marignon:hand_of_justice.png|Marignon's best soldier... unfortunately.}} {{:nations:la:marignon:architect.png?nolink}} {{:nations:la:marignon:royal_navigator.png?nolink}} {{:nations:la:marignon:high_inquisitor.png?nolink}} \\ {{:nations:la:marignon:demon_jester.png?nolink}} {{:nations:la:marignon:diabolist.png?nolink}} {{:nations:la:marignon:goetic_adept.png?nolink}} {{:nations:la:marignon:goetic_master.png?nolink}} \\ {{:nations:la:marignon:fallen_angel.png|This guy wants to redeem himself!}}

 <WRAP column half>There was a time when this Aztec-themed Empire wasn't a chaotic, Human-sacrificing hellhole. That time has passed, ushered out by Atlantians who fled the collapse of their own Kingdom of Coral. Seeing that the Rain was one aspect of Mictlan's deity, the Atlantian Kings demonstrated their Water Magic to the isolated Empire, and rebranded as Kings of the Rain Priesthood. In the temple they now work at, the "Kings of Rain" have found and reimplemented the practices of the Blood Cult of the Early Ages, regressing the Empire in an effort to gather enough Magic power to retake the seas. They probably didn't understand that Blood Magic is totally unusable underwater, or that Mictlan's deity has a //major// addiction to Blood.</WRAP><WRAP> {{:nations:la:mictlan:eagle_warrior.png?nolink}} {{:nations:la:mictlan:rain_warrior.png?nolink}} \\ {{:nations:la:mictlan:rain_priest.png?nolink}} {{:nations:ea:mictlan:priest_king.png?nolink}} {{:nations:la:mictlan:sun_priest.png?nolink}} {{:nations:la:mictlan:moon_priest.png?nolink}} \\ {{:nations:la:mictlan:king_of_rain.png?nolink}} {{:nations:la:mictlan:mother_of_all_waters.png|Underwater Mage-Priestess-Queen}}

 <WRAP column half>Abysia is a theocracy of lava-men on the decline. When Malphas, the Fiendish Early-Age architect of Abysia's traditions with Blood, set out to corrupt and destroy the Abysian people, he was playing the long game. The ruin of Abysia came, not from a disloyal army of Demonbreds rising against the nation, but from the still-loyal hordes of Humanbreds breeding the "pure-blooded" Abysians out of it. This has coincided with Abysia's volcanic heart (which once made Abysia hot enough for the "pure-bloods" to be happy) cooling, though centuries of dumping Blood Sacrifices into it might have done the job instead of "the dilution of the Pure Blood". The "pure-bloods" have veered deeper into cruelty & dark magic ever since. </WRAP><WRAP> {{:nations:la:abysia:abysian_heavy_infantry_4.png?nolink}} {{:nations:la:abysia:abysian_axe_thrower.png?nolink}} {{:nations:la:abysia:abysian_heavy_infantry.png?nolink}} {{:nations:la:abysia:guardian_of_the_pyre.png?nolink}} \\ {{:nations:la:abysia:newt.png?nolink}} {{:nations:la:abysia:anathemant_salamander.png?nolink}} {{:nations:la:abysia:anathemant_dragon.png?nolink}} {{:nations:la:abysia:smoulderghost.png?nolink}} \\ {{:nations:la:abysia:slayer_anathemant.png?nolink}} {{:nations:la:abysia:slayer_sanguine.png?nolink}} {{:nations:la:abysia:warlock_apprentice.png?nolink}} {{:nations:la:abysia:warlock.png?nolink}} \\ {{:nations:la:abysia:warbred.png|They're STILL crossbreeding, for Pete's sake}}

Though the Vanir are still sacred and their Vanjarls still carry great influence, Human Jarls, Mages, and Priests have already begun to take their place.

 <WRAP column half>Xibalba is a Mayan-themed subterranean realm inhabited by two races. Its original natives are the Zotz, bat-people who once served Underworld "gods" before the Pantokrator tasked them with guiding the Sun. In the Middle Ages, Atlantians literally flooded in, becoming a toad-like race known as the Muuch, and replaced the Zotz of the depths. At the height of their power, most of the Muuch attempted to conquer the surface world, only for Mictlan to rout them so badly that only their Kings made it back home. The Kings slept on their failure, and the caverns dried up during their torpor. Now the Zotz have returned from their forest exile, but they now worship and serve the reawakening Muuch Kings as Water "gods".</WRAP><WRAP> {{:nations:la:xibalba:way.png?nolink}} {{:nations:la:xibalba:camazotz.png?nolink}} \\ {{:nations:la:xibalba:chilan.png?nolink}} {{:nations:la:xibalba:obsidian_warrior.png?nolink|That's a suit of glass!}} \\ {{:nations:la:xibalba:wo_muuch.png?nolink}} {{:nations:la:xibalba:bacab.png?nolink|Literal Basement-Dwelling King}} \\ {{:nations:la:xibalba:monster_toad.png?nolink|I'd still pet it}}

 <WRAP column half>Vaettiheim is the homeland of the Vaettir, tiny Goblins of the north. Until relatively-recently it was part of Jotunheim, for the Vaettir had been seduced by the Jotun Gygjas and their Seith sorcery back in the Middle Ages. When the Jotun Jarls allied with the Humans, who were pawns of the enemy Vanir in Ages past, cracks began to form in the united Jotun realm, culminating in a rebellion of the Gygjas that was forseen by the Nornir and crushed. The Gygjas retreated to the Iron Wood with their few remaining Jotun allies, and the Vaettir circled the wagons around their Giant idols. Some (female) Vaettir have been encouraged to enter the Iron Wood, so that the Gygjas may groom successors and keep their grudge eternal.</WRAP><WRAP> {{:nations:la:vaettiheim:light_vaetti_infantry.png?nolink}} {{:nations:la:vaettiheim:hirdvaetti.png?nolink}} {{:nations:la:vaettiheim:vaetti_crossbowman.png?nolink}} {{:nations:la:vaettiheim:dimvaetti.png?nolink}} \\ {{:nations:la:vaettiheim:vaetti_gode.png?nolink}} {{:nations:la:vaettiheim:vaetti_hag.png?nolink}} {{:nations:la:vaettiheim:vaetti_gygja.png?nolink}} {{:nations:la:vaettiheim:rimvaetti.png?nolink|The Illwinter can STILL happen!}} \\ {{:nations:la:vaettiheim:jotun_gygja.png?nolink}}  {{:nations:la:vaettiheim:jotun_wolf.png?nolink|(Summon)}}

+<WRAP column half>When R'lyeh conquered their neighbors under the sea, they did so with the help of the Void, the space between and beyond the Spheres. The bit of their planet that they arrived in came with a Void Gate, a hole in the Veil of space, and they used that hole to beckon beasts beyond our understanding. The Illithids got so much mileage out of it that at one point they figured that they were Masters of the Void; the Void simply laughed at that notion, and this was enough to crush their Empire of brainwashed slaves. It took the strongest Illithid minds to reassemble some measure of normalcy, but by then the Void had already claimed their God.

+<WRAP column half>Erytheia, The Red Land, is a Merman Kingdom that takes after Ptolemaic Egypt. It's the fusion of an Arcoscephalian colony with a Pelagian colony, set free by the collapse of both Middle-Age Kingdoms; Arcoscephale collapsed due to the political upheaval following the Great Conqueror's death, of course, but Pelagia fell apart when the Triton Kings entered an eternal slumber with the Dreams of R'lyeh. The Erytheian King, eternally (thanks to incest) of pure royal Merman blood, styles himself as "King of Both Worlds"; The remaining Triton nobles wish he'd acknowledge the Ocean "world" a bit more often, though, since they can't make Magic Items for going on land and visiting the neglectful monarch. </WRAP><WRAP> {{:nations:la:erytheia:erytheian_phalangite.png?nolink}} {{:nations:la:erytheia:erytheian_crossbowman.png?nolink|It works underwater, too!}} {{:nations:la:erytheia:soldier_of_the_setting_sun.png?nolink}} \\ {{:nations:la:erytheia:mystic.png?nolink}} {{:nations:la:erytheia:daduchos_2.png?nolink}} {{:nations:la:erytheia:prince_of_the_setting_sun.png?nolink}} {{:nations:la:erytheia:princess_of_the_setting_sun.png?nolink}} \\ {{:nations:la:erytheia:pearl_mage.png?nolink|"NO!"}} {{:nations:la:erytheia:triton_noble.png?nolink|"Make me a Fish Amulet!"}}
