EA Alb, In the Mountains’ Shadows
Opened a Ko-Fi account. Nobody asked me to and you gain nothing by tipping. If you like my nations enough that you still want to tip here’s the link: https://ko-fi.com/casusbelli42
Alb is a nation inspired by alpine folklore and particularly the book of Charles Fréger “Wilder Mann”. The most powerful beings in the nation are the Perchte, old mountain goddesses who collected the souls of the wandering dead. Forced to flee before the Pantokrator they hid in the shadows of the tallest mountains together with their entourage – the Perchten. The most powerful of these are the Krampuses, harsh demons of winter, who nominally rule the nation. However when a Perchta is present you may also recruit the lesser Perchten. Then there are the Alps, mischievous fay creatures which cause sleep paralysis and feed off the nightmares, and sometimes blood, of their victims. There are numerous other fay creatures and demons from the alpine folklore you can either recruit or summon.
Meanwhile the poor humans that have to suffer this fay torture are based around the bronze age Hallstatt culture. They are strong and proud, using their large horns to boost the morale of their armies while striking fear into the enemies.
More content is planned in the future as well as continuing the story of Alb in MA and LA.
