Aight, so since /mag/ is now /MANS/ I guess I wanted to bounce some ideas to incorporate the other 3 guys into the nation.

The origin would stay mainly the same. There was persecution towards alchemists and scholars spreading over the holocontinent sometime in the beggining/middle of the last millenia, so a large number of them gradually moved further East, before ending up on the edge of the /risu/ forests. With /pol/ka and towa, their neighbours, being more lenient of their practices, they decided to settle a small piece of unclaimed land on the east shore of the "land bridge". For this leniency, the royal houses of towa and /pol/ka have always been viewed with respect, something which carries to the present day.

NOTE THAT THE ORIGIN STORY CAN BE CHANGED TO FIT ANY RESULT OF THE FUTURE VOTE FOR THE PLACEMENT OF /MANS/, THE MAP WITH THE PROPOSED LOCATIONS IS IN THE WORKS

First change would be that beside alchemists, our founding fathers were also scholars(I know the roles are not exclusive, but bear with me) and the two groups have been tightly knit since the beggining. There is no alchemist guild without a capable scholar or ten acting as their backbone. And hey, they might have discovered the secrets of everlasting life sometime down the line and became vampires, who knows?

Next would be the offshoot alchemist guild which gained power and notoriety in the southern raids of 657. Using alchemy to bind themselves, whole body and soul, not with an artificial golem, but wild beasts, the method of which is still kept secret to this day, they secured the southern border against the barbarians. They control a large part of the southern countryside, and their forts are still known as the "The Bloodstained Wall".

And lastly, the Current lords of /MANS/ and the most powerful Magisters, the Altare royal family. Rising up from the bloody civil war that took place 200 years prior, this matriarchal clan has kept in power in part to their masterful leadership and in part due to attaining the highest secrets of golem alchemy, allowing them to utterly dominate any opposition. Out of the 13 Magisters currently alive, 6 of them belong to the royal family.

Ok, notes time to explain the ideas:
Noir should be self explanatory, since we had a whole one(1) /magnoir/ thread before becoming /MANS/, and he was memed with Magni even before that. It just makes sense that his followers would be our founding fathers, along with Maggots.

With Axel I wanted to lean into his beasly design as well as his fighter title, and with the thread warming up to him a bit later. That's why the guild themed after him came a bit later in our history, and played a vital part in the biggest war we have seen (excluding the civil war that came some centuries later)

And with Regis, I again leaned on the talent. With him being a guildleader and all, it just made sense to style the current royal family after him, and as for why they are matriarchal, well, he is the fujobait of this gen. And they truly came out of the civil war victorious, since /magnoir/ has fallen, and /MANS/ stands in it's place now. I am still waiting to see if the thread warms up to the guy in the coming weeks before deciding whether the in-world royal family is beloved, begrudgingly respected by the guilds or if they have to enforce their commands on them(which wouldn't happen too often anyway, except in times of war)
