Are we ready to move on to Civilization?

I’m ready, personally. I already have some ideas.

[bmcclure7]

OK I’m not sure how many civilizations we’re going to get but we want at least five in our main planet hopefully you at least one more in the second planet. 
 

Here’s what you need to include

1.The name of the dominant species of your civilization

2. If a custom species details on their biology and what they look like

3. Their origin were they made by one of the shards or Do they pre-date the shards?

3. what Planet and biome are they in ?

what is their nature of the civilization are they one single empire? Are they a loose Federation of independent states help together by a similar religion or ideology? Are they confederation of tribes that trace their origins to a mythical ancestor? or there’s something else entirely.

1: humans, descended from those cultivated by indulgence.

2: they generally have tanned skin, and darker hair. Nothing else to note about them.

3: the swamplands and plains of Velia (continent on Arvus)

4: humans (and the planet) were created by indulgence, and later nurtured by corruption.

5 they’re a trio of countries, each having a separate form of government. Isnea, which uses and oligarchy, Corul, that uses a monarchy, and Sertl, which uses a meritocracy. Isnea and Sertl mutually hate one another, and Corul always tries to keep the peace between them all. Corruption will sometimes intervene, sparking or stopping conflict. It depends on how long peace or war as lasted.

@bmcclure7 Wait werent we doing a vote on the MoIs?

Also,

1.  Zionians (Dragons and Humans)

2. Dragons and Humans (And other species to)

3. Made by corruption, though some dragons predate the shattering

4. Zion. Everywhere.

5. Because of the uninhabitableness of Zion, the Zionians are rough and powerful having slightly enhanced physical traits and feared and revered across the system. They are a strong single 'empire'. They have many independent parts, although they all see themselves as one empire and would help other Zionians. The cities are more refugees across the planet. Zionians know each other well and some even reside in the dangerous Lemon Fields.

What is the planet and biome that they live in? Are they true nations or more like city states with the surrounding land, loyal to them?  What shard has the most influence on your civilization?

We only have three magic systems proposed so I don’t see the need to vote on them.

all of those were answered in my proposal, except the second. Isnae and sertl are both fully independent countries, and Corul is a smaller city-state.

1. Sin Crows

2.  Giant, horned, and sapient Crows. They're around 5 feet in size, and have jet black feathers. Vaw rolls off them, and wearing their feathers gives you resistance to corruptive investiture. Their horns are supernaturally sharp, and are able to pierce Sin Crown's skin. They're naturally followers of Sin Crowns, and serve them as such.

3. Crafted by Indulgence as his spies, later broke away, but are willing and able to follow mortal sin crowns.

4.  Arvus, mostly the mountous regions, though they go all over.

They have a complex but obsucre culture, as they don't speak Arvin. Supposedly they're made of many waring tribes, but who knows?

There's 6, if you count Hjacking, Shifting, Diviners, THE WORMS, Sin Crowns, and Verities' MOL

 

[Tinwatcher I don’t mind]

1.Amphidorans

2.  They are Bidpedal with smooth skin that can change colors. They have webbed fingers and toes that help them swim in deep swamp waters. They also have a clear third eye lid lets them open their eyes under water. They breathe through their skin (like frogs). Their hair is shirt and usually only grows as long as a foot.

3. They were made by Corruption shortly after the saturation of Arvus

4. They live the planet Arvus, and the continent of Sero’s swamplands.

The Amphidorans are a group of nomads with only 20 permanent settlements. Only a few  Amphidorans live in the settlement, mainly those with kids or have important jobs (Farmers, Government workers, fishermen, etc), the rest of the Amphidorans travel around the continent. The Amphidorans are united by a council. The council men are elected by those who permanently live in the settlements.

Diviners, and THE WORMS?

Diviners, and THE WORMS?

Quote

The Worms (Argenti’s 1st Mol): 

Fueled by free-floating Corruption investiture, the worms are a species of necrotic-flesh-eating seeds (They look like Maggots), that grow on certain trees. When picked from the tree and pressed into any dead animal, including humans, the seed animates and begins to feed, burrowing into the dead matter, and bringing it to unlife. When this happens in nature, the newly animated corpse moves as far from the tree as possible, so as to spread its seeds. However, a suitably invested individual can command this animated corpse upon creation- making something much like a lifeless, which can be used for whatever purposes you can dream of. However, unlike a lifeless, the body still the invested thing is the seed, not the body, and will eventually fall apart and need to be destroyed and replaced. 

The worms are a passive natural investiture that can be taken advantage of by any particularly invested person. Crowns, Shifters, and Hjackers can all command them.

Diviners was something @CoderDrag0n8 made.

OK I suppose there’s room for at least one more magic system so I’ll start a poll for what the last magic system should be

The Community, network of several hundred villages in the dryer part of the swaps The villages surround a large monastery, and are considered vessels to it. The monastery of changes Is inhabited by monks, dedicated to expanding the art of shaping and shifting. The population is mostly human. They were originally created by indulgence, but have since been altered by corruption, resulting in strange mutations. The mutations differ from person to person. Most, however, our subtly mutated enough, that they could still pass as a mutated human to most observers.

Alright! Time to get down to work

Civilization 1: The Forgotten

1. Blattelans (bug people)

2. The blattelans are anthropomorphic insect-like beings. They have triangular heads and long, spindly legs ending in talons. They have a set of arms coming from their shoulders (like humans), also spindly and with four fingers. Finally, they have a third set of limbs extending from the middle of their torso. These aren’t really legs or arms; they’re a sort of in-between, that can be used to grab stuff (also four fingers) but aren’t really good for manipulating stuff, and can also be easily adapted to serve as an extra set of legs. Their ancestors were winged, and current day blattelans still retain wing buds were they used to be. Like bugs, they have an exoskeleton, and their language consists of clicks and chirps. They have two large eyes recently adapted to see in the dark and the cognitive capacity of people.

3. The blattelans are some of the few life forms existing on Arvus before the arrival of Indulgence (but not predating the Shattering). They believe they were created  by a powerful god they call Perfection, or really “The One Who Seeks Perfection”. According to their myths, Perfection created them and then disappeared long before the arrival of Indulgence. (I was hoping this “Perfection” could be Order, my Shard proposal, thus making it canon in this world even if it will have no plot relevance, just as a larger universe tease, but that’s not necessary). When Indulgence arrived, they believed it to be the return of Perfection. When Indulgence proceeded to terraform the world, driving the blattelans underground, they believed it to be the dark version of Perfection, or Havoc (“The One Who Seeks Havoc”).

4. The blattelans live in Arvus, in Cascea, the Untamed Continent. Cascea is a smaller continent in the South Pole of Arvus. Before Indulgence, Cascea was a hub of life, one of the few places where the heat wasn’t too overpowering to prevent life. After Indulgence’s arrival, Cascea froze over, and most life died out or was driven underground. Today, very little life exists on Cascea’s surface. Most people on Arvus don’t know about the existence of the blattelans, and vice versa.

5. The blattelans live in a Unity (“That Which Creates Unity”), which is essentially a large alliance between a variety of independent states. Most of the states are on good terms, and they regularly interact, but each has a slightly different culture and language (might flesh them out more later).
