Far to West, there are rumors of the pale people. People with white skin, and black eyes. Sirens, some say, the madness of winter itself, come to whisk the unaware away into hypothermia. The pale people were found recently, nestled under a snow covered mountain, more far West than people could believe. A legendary city, nestled into a crevice, spanning underground. It was left alone for the most part, merchants didn't bother visiting.
Until the pale people came to them. Then they came running. Carving a path out of the ice into the once hidden legendary city. All because of two metals. Ebony and silver. Now, after just years of traders coming in, the pale people were finally heading out.
Name: Vothyl Syl
Ruler: High Overseer Trux
Alignment: True Neutral
Ruler Rights: The rulers have control over both government and church, known as Caesaropopism.
Citizens: Stilus Populus, people who have strangely white skin, and black sclera in their eyes. Sixty percent of the population is female.
The military of the Pale People is strange, as, unlike most other nations, their faces are not seen, and instead are masks plastered in the face of their god, leaving an imposing impression. Their armor is predominately silver, with the trims crests being ebony. Their weapons are silver as well, but the parts of the weapons used to do damage with are Ebony as well. Their armor resembles large slabs of chitin pieced together into a uniform set, with the plates becoming smaller and less dense around joints.
The common people wear strange clothes as well, often more considered robes than normal clothes. While their clothing can consist of pelts from various animals during their day to day lives, while in the presence of foreigners they wear standard cloth, with a scarf that doubles as a hood they wear. Both men and women are urged to wear the hoods at all time for religious reasons, but it is not strictly enforced.
The fighting style of the people can be related to the Greeks, often using large hordes of soldiers in various formations to outmaneuver their opponents. They are less versatile in one on one combat.
