Relationships and conflicts


The relationships and conflicts between races

As my focus for my research report will be revolving around internal and external conflicts I really wanted to cover this in our teams fabrication of our world; it wasn't big stretch for us as we are all dedicated to focus on the creation of our game.

 

Leo and Capricorn: They are the main conflict that we have thought up. There has been a long standing power struggle of sorts between them. Capricorn's element being Earth and Leo's fire; they are both the strong elements, which worked well for their conflict- at least for the deep rooted reason. Leo's kingdom is essentially the Capitol of our world; they are at the heart of the industry. Capricorn's kingdom is a bit less inclined for the push forward with development; Unlike Leo they also have reigning Monarchs.

The power of strength and prosperity over royalty.

 

Gemini:  The most secluded race, they have very little to do with others. Hence this there is next to no conflict between them and anyone else. The most contact they have had between different communities is Pisceans and Aquarius; not often.

 

Aquarius and Pisces: There is a long running history between these two races, due to Aquarius fishing around the Pisceans waters there were some disputes; nothing to cause a major conflict however.  They have made the agreement that the Aquarius had designated fishing spots away from their home,  and the two can work together to provide for the sea faring economy.

 

Aquarius: They provided a strong resource to the economy and prefer to avoid conflict where possible, mainly as it would interfere with the work.

 

Pisces:  Some do consider themselves a more advanced race, other races also see them as interesting prizes to acquire. This is not a major issue to the community much anymore as kidnapping and keeping Pisceans have been outlawed. They are peaceful and rarely see the concern for conflict towards them.

 

Scorpio: Desert folk, very few other races can manage to stay in such living conditions and because of this they don't have much to do with others. They are wary of visitors but they do no judge off the bat. Scorpios live in tribes across the desert, most conflicts with them have been between the tribes, so contained within their race. Some Scorpios make a living of acting as travel guides through the deserts as no one knows them better than they do.  

 

Aeries: Most of them are very airy fairy, some of them are more down to earth which keeps their community well grounded. No one daren't threaten Aeries not only because they are possibly the friendliest of all races, but they are the foremost of medical advancements. They have perfected the art of curing ailments and healing injuries; as a race they are relied on the most.

 

Libra: Similar to Aeries, they have not par taken in any form of disputes; but unlike them however, there is a general dislike for them in the bigger civilizations. Possibly due to their 'tree hugging' lifestyle and their attitude towards the other races lifestyle. Some do not recognise their ability of attuning to the world; Sagittarius do, but since the two prefer forested areas they have to deal with them a margin more. It is like a love hate relationship, they both irk one another, but they both have the forests well being in mind.

 

Taurus: Muscular, horned race; the Taurus were called on as help during the war as their strong build made them ideal for the front line. They are seen as one of the physically strongest race and for that is sometimes misread as being like savages. Taurus are not ill mannered unless provoked. They honed the idea of using trees for building and became well respected carpenters and builders across the land, it is also wrongly assumed that Taurus alone are the suppliers of wood; Sagittarius as also one to be noticed for their work.

 

Sagittarius: Centaur folk, they tend to stick close to the forested areas. They don't often see much other races; not actively, Sagittarius simply likes to stick to familiar land. Them and Taurus have a mutual agreement over their land; to ensure the forest is well kept and not cut down too much. They are noticed as somewhat of 'protectors' of the forest, due to their appearance particularly. In terms of any larger conflicts, the race has not experienced anything to a war-like degree despite being protective of their home. Sagittarius only shares their land with Librans, with the knowledge that they too have the lands best interests at heart; however it's only on a tolerable level, they aren't massively fond of them.

 

Cancer:  They are extremely secluded from other races, select few do live outside of their swamp land; this is all due to other races in the past using them to the point of slave labour courtesy of their multiple limbs it made them a very desirable dogs body. This eventually became apparent that they were being taken advantage of; so they revolted and instead of causing a conflict, most of the Cancer simply left with the refusal to be treated like this. Their home then later being the swamp lands. They are very stringent with visitors and generally don't display much fondness of them either.

 

Virgo:  Due to such a large population of this race, there have been a multitude on conflicts over history. They are dotted over, mixed with other races communities and even on their own; despite such a large degree of Virgo, other races are not really threatened by this in fact some believe them to be better than them.

 

After the war between Leo and Capricorn, to retain peace and good communication between the different races the council was formed. This is comprised of chosen authorities from their areas; despite that, there is very few members of the council.

The council.

-1 Leo

-2/3 Virgo, as there is so many of them they are so widespread, hence more than one on the board.

-1 Capricorn, not a royal

-1 Taurus

-1 Representative for the Sagittarius

-1 representative for Pisces and Aquarius

-1 Aries
