Hi Paul, I have to agree with Juuso that this concept seems to advanced for Elyria. Gnomes would be fine, but Italian Renaissance tech is just too advanced. I could see gnomes harnessing geothermal power for a early machanical feel. Perhaps they were enslaved by the Sorcerer and a small population managed to escape...or they are descendants of the makers of the Veloki? With some more comment from the list as a whole I might allow a few gnomish masters that might have a sense of "Itialian Reniassance" tech, but because of fierce competition for prestige amoung the master inventers their inventions are not "public" knowlegde and thus do not have a society wide influence. Any other comments? BTW where is everyone? -----Original Message----- From: celandra-error@phoenyx.net [mailto:celandra-error@phoenyx.net]On Behalf Of Paul Corrish Sent: Monday, September 02, 2002 8:15 PM To: celandra@phoenyx.net Subject: [Cel] [ely] [NewPlayerQuery] Fedral Republic of Nomia I've come up with an idea for a new Society I'd like to play, but first I wanted to get approval on the basic concept: "Italian Reniasence" Technolgy Level, Fedral Republic (think USSR), Arctic (Frozen Wastes), Difficulty procuring food due to lack of Agracultral Land. Inhabited by four distinct Ethincities of "Gnomes" divided between Six Tribes. "Gnomes" are creatures with low levels of Inborn magic (predominatly illusions) and a love of Illusions, Gadgets and Pranks. Tolerance for non-illusion magic is decreasing and tolerance and prepondance of art increasing. The "Gnomes" have access to what amount to Wooden Helicopters. There is also one major intelligent preditor worthy of noting here living in Nomian lands, known as "Blue Dragons" to the Nomians, these are Dragons in the classic fantasy sense, except that they breath ice instead of fire. The year I was considering for the founding of Nomia was 2844. ===== Proffesor S.
