- Strong horse culture.
- Clan assemblies and chieftains.
- Seeking new grazing land and alliances.
Dravidians
- Agricultural settlements and fortified towns.
- Skilled craftsmen and merchants.
- River-based economy.
- Defending territory while expanding influence.
Player Tags:
Pick one identity and keep it throughout the thread.
Examples:

- AryanScout#2
- DravidianElder#1
- DravidianCaptain#2
Rules
- Minimum 3 players per faction.
- One action per post.
- No godmodding or controlling another player's character.
- Consequences are permanent unless both sides agree otherwise.
- Keep technology historically grounded.
- No modern politics or ideology.
- No racism, slurs(outside of character), derailing, flamebait.
- If a conflict arises, let other players judge the outcome or settle it through discussion.

Starting Situation:
The first rains have ended. A fertile river valley lies between both peoples. Scouts report abandoned fields, old stone ruins, and signs that another unknown tribe may also be nearby.
The first move belongs to whichever faction posts first.
Please stay in character.

In a naarthie so i will choose Dravida just for the love of the game, i want to be the Dravidan elder, how do we choose our rank, who is going to be the captain
>>625
Aou're the first Dravidian to join, you may claim Dravidian Elder#1.
Ranks aren't assigned by the me.
Each faction decides its own hierarchy through roleplay.
Once at least three players have joined a side, nominate a captain or chieftain.
Until then, consider every faction leaderless.
Also since both teams would be able to see each others moves clearly any attempt tactical surprise would be useless and it'll just become a slurfest where mass wins.
Name: Dravidian_prophet01
Faction: Dravidian
Location:on the outskirts of ruins in the river valley.
Action: a young guy of age 17 who is delusional and considers himself as a awakened being standa outside the ruins embracing the view and a city which was once glorious and now is gone.
He waits for orders before going deep.
Reasoning: the character has a main character syndrome( is primarily influenced by dune character arakkis. So play along u can choose to continue his insanity or u can just think of him as madman) he stands as a scout(inspired by aot) to look for places of his overpopulated town. And to build new fort.
He just reached the rivers.

>Map
I'll post a simple map after signups. A river runs through the center, forests are in the west, grasslands in the east, and hills in the north. Scale is abstract, though I'm still figuring out how maps will work in a text RP.
>Starting position
Both factions are already established. Each starts with one main settlement, several villages, livestock, stored grain, and basic Bronze/Iron Age technology.
>Resources
Food, timber, stone, clay, livestock, and metal deposits exist but must be controlled.
>NPCs
No idea about how to handle them.
>Fog of war
Players should only act on what their faction knows. Scouts and spies can be resolved by me (GM) first, but I doubt the RP will get immersive enough for this to matter much.
The goal isn't to win it's to build a believable history together. Keep it grounded and play fair.
