The Forsaken

[Kshnik]

The Nation Nation/Organization: The Forsaken, a vast land of jungle and swamps, is a name well known by all yet unexplored by the ‘civilized’ world. Homeland terrain: Hidden away from the eyes of civilization is a growing empire; growing in an unforgiving environment of an expansive swamp and under canopies of the jungles. Mistaken as savages these peace loving beings have been building, creating and gaining knowledge. National mindset: The Grippli feel bound to the natural world and keep a balance between their homes and the land. They can be kind to those in trouble but are seen as unsympathetic to strangers. Grippli have a strong sense of right and wrong and avoid many of the deviant acts commited by other races. Government: Grippli villages are led by council of Elders who are led by a Matriarch called the Mother. However in the larger cities the head of the council can be either Mother or Father. Each Village sends a represenative chosen by the elders and mother to be part of a national council. This national council chose the general to lead the combined nation forces. Background: The Grippli have always been numerous within The Forsaken due to their high birth rate and quick growth to adulthood. This population was always kept in check by the other more advanced denizens and the variety and numbers of predators. About three centuries ago a cliff village deep within the Jungle discovered the knowledge of metal making. This knowledge was passed on from one village to another and within two centuries all Grippli had this knowledge. Since then many battles have taken place, unseen from the civilized cities, between the Grippli and other intelligent denizens of swamp and jungle. The Grippli have never started the conflicts but these small creatures came out on top due to this new knowledge and well thought out war tactics. As the Grippli society continue to grow villages and cities have joined together to form a single nation. The Grippli were the last addition to the Great Coalition against the Alvari nation. The Alvari had only made a few incursions into the Jungle and were easily repelled by the Grippli. Diplomats from the Great Coalition, arrived afterwards, explained, after a gathering of Grippli from many locations, the situation outside of The Forsaken asked for help and offered to provide support in return. The Grippli listened, thanked, and then escorted the Diplomats out of The Forsaken. The Grippli talked for many full moons before coming to a decision. It took another six full moons to organize a force to join up with the Coalitions. Eight years later the same force now sits at the gates of the Alvari capital.
