Though it's ulitmately up to you and Kasa, Tect, I think your two nations are perfectly fine right now.
Kasa has a - literally - Valley and Mountains nation, with many different plains and such.
It seems perfectly acceptable to me that right around where your nation ends is around where the mountains start.
Nailing down exactly where that is isn't as important. But certainly the two peoples would be trading with each other, as neighbors, and would be aware of the other.

Before you insult someone, walk a mile in their shoes.
That way, you'll be a mile away, and have their shoes!
Edit 2: Alright, calmed down a bit. Going to make a follow up post when I get home... and I'd like to talk to you about shared continent things sometime, Kasanip. If you wouldn't mind. >__>
I totes get to say hi. :D
Unfortunately, I also must act as the messenger that Avyra has passed on (heart-throbbing teary eyed pain moment, commence!).
By the way Kasanip: the closeness of your culture to the Tatanka would explain things between the Lightning Wolf and the Thunderbird, wouldn't it? Ooh... can the Thunderbird be the Lightning Wolf's brother?

Once you have Carolinus caught up past the 50 year gap, you have three spirit-messengers of mine poping up over in Markien trying to figure out:"-whether or not (Markien) still stands strong and as to whether my brother, the god Carolinus, resides there still."
A simple recon mission, to be sure, but if you'd like to describe what the messangers see, or intercept them or whatever, please do. Otherwise I'll just write a brief monolog detailing their passing through un-noticed. It's up to you.
Done

Hey there everybody! DarkDM gave me the go ahead to put this up in this OOC to get feedback on the character! I hope you like it!
Spoiler
Name:Invidia
Domain:Envy
Abilities: Polymorphy, Bloodlust
Themes: Green Eyed Monster
Description:
Born the middle child to a family of five, Inved, lived in the grip of poverty for most of his childhood. He was neglected, ignored, and frequently maligned by the rest of his family. He grew increasingly jealous of his brothers, who were doted upon by their "benevolent" father. Then one day, after a particularly cruel beating, something wonderful happened. Inved was visited by Atraxal, who introduced himself as an "Entrepreneur".
The fiend entered though Inved's window whilst his family was away, and asked him what was wrong. He comforted the child for a few minutes until Inved stopped crying. Atraxal was a sly man, and with a demonic glint in his eye, he "observed" how much better things would be for Inved if his brothers weren't around. Inved had never thought of it that way before, and almost immediately began plotting the downfall of those who had caused him to be so forgotton.
He asked Atraxal if he would help, who (of course) agreed. They plotted and planned until Inved's father burst in, at which point, Atraxal seemed to melt into the shadows of the room. Inved was promptly beaten. Later that night, Atraxal slid into the brother's shared room, bound the youngest child, and absconded along with his prize. The father was devastated. He began drinking as his children vyed for his attention. Their mother passed away, and the Father was forced to begin to care for his children again. Once again, Inved was shunned in favour of his older brother, and, once again, Atraxal offered to help. This time, however, it wouldn't be free. Inved agreed.
Inved waited at the designated meeting spot for Atraxal and Inved own less-than-enthusiastic brother. He anxiously fingered the axe in his pocket and wondered if this was really the best idea, but when they did arrive; Inved felt a cold thrill pulse through his thin frame. A manic grin lit up his face as he watched his older brother, who had so often consigned him to oblivion, sat there bound and gagged. He giggled with glee as his brother squirmed and looked upon him with something that Inved had never seen directed at him. He saw fear. It infected him like a drug, and his world became bliss. Atraxal hissed into his ear, urging him onward, closer to the brink, right to the edge. As soon as this one was out of the way, his father would love him, and only him. He raised the axe as tears of joy streamed down his face.
As he reentered the house, he heard crying, and saw bottles strewn upon the floor. He took a tentative step inside, trailing blood behind him. He called into his father's room, who came running out, yelling in joy. That is, until he saw his son. Crude stitching seemed to cover his body like a lopsided web, and his hands appeared to have been torn off and reattached. Strangest of all, was his face. It was almost doll-like as if he was wearing a mask. Then it hit the father, and he realized exactly what he was looking at. Inved beamed as his father admired his new suit. Clearly, he would be the favorite now. After all, he had the best parts of his older brother. Atraxal could wait. For now, he just wanted to feel his father's love.
(Note: This is all Preascension, so I didn't think that appearance really mattered that much.
Second Note: He changes his name to Invidia postascension.)
I should say first that your introduction is well written, interesting, and something we certainly do *not* have already.
That aside, my first reaction - which I hope you will take as a complement, as it is a testament to how you've written it - is this:
"Creeeeeeeeeeepeeeee."

Also, I believe Llassar sent Carolinus a letter via trader, if you want to do anything with that anytime. ^^
Could you link me to this post?

And lo, I have resurrected the forums from their black abyss! Look upon my power and tremble!
*trembles for a suitable length of time*
Ok. Enough of that. Someone said they were making a big post soon.

Geeeez, Dark. That was DAYS ago. Still no big post?
So you can resurrect the forums, but not without breaking your promises?
Kidding, kidding. Glad to have the forums back.

Nobody mind this. I'm just transferring what I have of my next post from my iPhone.
Spoiler
The Digger & The Earth
"He's never going to wake up..."
"Shh! Keep quiet, or you'll rouse Llassar's anger."
"But he's been laying here for three days. Three!"
Jethro could feel himself becoming more and more conscious, now aware of two people talking somewhere nearby.
"Have faith, he'll waken. He came from the skies just as Llassar did, didn't he?"
"True... but he didn't come to us unconscious, did he?"
Jethro slowly opened his eyes, everything blurry at first, but slowly it all came into focus. He was lying in some kind of fluffy bedding, staring up at a ceiling crafted of wood.

More, 'patronly frowning and gentle scolding' then anger, but yeah, I'm really liking the looks of that!
*Is very excited for TechnOkami's next post*

Sry for disappearing for a while (school stuff), but it seems that like a server outage has made my absence less noticeable will have a post up tonight responding to the weavers arrival and Llassars messenger.

Hey Guys, just reposting this because of the 3-day break, and the likelyhood that I've been forgotten. God, I'm lonely. Remember, I'm posting this for feedback, and I've only seen any from Gengy (Who was very nice). Critique it so I can make it better!

I don't know what to do Succubus. Contragh is halfway across the world, I can't have him interacting back at base (Unless you want me to hit grow a random box your way).
