Founded around the wild and life-giving Grey Sea, the Nations that surround the Grey Sea have developed differently and independently. Their Egos collide and their militaries grunt at each other across the community trade center, the great Grey Sea.

History

Origins

The first nation to arise in the Grey Sea States was Kaldei, followed by its sister nation of Ileou. Soon after, the nations of Corzia, Britvia, and Euleos. Kiravian settlers made several attempts to colonize the Grey Sea Coast, finally producing the nation of Xirya.

Ancient History

DUring the ancient era of the GSS, th Eulean Empire dominated most of Dorias. Ileou and Kaldei were wealthy feudal kingdoms. Amaratsu as

Many nations swelled the regional population for a short period of time, though most departed to regions like the Black Mist Federation, and one to Forest. The loss of UN nations led to the fall of Ileou from the Delegate position,(Although the nation ceased to exist a trid later.). An unknown and foriegn nation, Galiza, captured the delegateship. This rule was toppled when the Xirya Colony joined the United Nations and endorsed the long-time resident, Britvia, to the position. The new delegate was not active for long, and Euleos was elected to the office.

Geography

GSS consists of two continents, Dorias, and Runkirr, surrounding the eponymous Grey Sea. The Gresy sea is divided into a South and North Grey Sea. Surrounding the region is a yet unnamed ocean.

Topography

Runkirr is mainly a low-lying plain, covered in numerous forests and wetlands. In contrast, Dorias is mountainous, split by the Diori Mountains and several rivers. Mountain vegetation occupies the range, but vegetation varies by area. Southeast Dorias is blanketed in Marine and Temperate Conifer forests, while the subtropical south is home to tall grasslands.

Human & Political Geography

Humans have been living in various portions of the GSS for centuries, and have evolved independantly, creating unique and diverse cultures. Dorias is the more populous landmass, home to Euleos, the oldest continuous society in the region, Amaratsu, a powerful warrior culture, and Xirya, a colony of distant Kirav. Kaldei, the founder, also resides on Dorias, but is in deep isolationism, and no contact has been made in recent years.

Across the sea, Runkirr is empty in comparison. The nation of Ileou occupies terriory in the East. The only other inhabitants are some 300 Xiryan colonists on the Grey Sea coast, and seasonal Xiryan fishinng settlements on the West Coast.
