GURPS Kirinioth - The Nation of Thrinecia Brainstorm

• Minerals available include coal, oil, copper (with zinc, lead, silver and gold) and iron
• Prior to the Alkanos takeover, the nation was somewhat prosperous, a frequent trade partner and at peace with the surrounding nations
• Modern era Thrinecia has mostly shut down trade
• Thrinecia is openly hostile with the halfling nation to the north; Alkanos' armies marched through the halfling lands in their initial conquest; those animosities have not subsided in the 20+ years since
• Xak Muykar, formerly Trortvagos, has not fared well in the years since; with the capital having been relocated to the City of Thrinecia, most funding and labor have followed
• In the last 5-10 years, Alkanos' generals, priests and elite troops have been equipped with Orichalum arms and armor; the standard troops are equipped in chain mail, often stained black, and armed primarily with javelin and spear; most soldiers carry a shield, along with a long knife as a secondary weapon; elite troops and generals often wear Orichalum scale mail and carry Orichalum swords and axes
• The nation is fairly protected from the worst of the storms by the forest along its north-eastern edge; the trees there are especially hardy, mostly massive evergreens; while this keeps the damaging winds at bay, the eastern half of the nation is frequently rainy, though seasons are temperate
• Fauna include large deer, bear, goat , coyote, fox and cougar; the south-eastern coasts see orca, while the western edge along the harbor is home to seal; various sharks frequent both the bay and the outer sea, along with at least one type of aquatic reptile and, rarely, huge octopi
• Goat and sheep are the primary herd animals used for milk and meat consumption; wild rice is a staple grain, nuts from the evergreens are harvested in the northeast, and limited wheat and corn are grown in the west
• There is very little flora with flowers, though in recent years, Alkanos' priesthood has begun planting colorful plants around the City of Thrinecia; Each of the colors of magic are represented, though, notably, the palace is adorned by mostly black flowers
• Clothing is typically plain colors, like tans and browns; the priesthood wear primarily black, but with blue and silver trim; the armies are adorned in black and silver
