DA DEEP ONES

-Realm name: The Empire of The Deep Ones
-Flag/Banner:

NATIONAL
-Capital: Grunthor's Rest
-Government Type: Plutarchy
-Currency: Use a fiat currency for trade amongst themselves, but only accept gold and barter from the surface-dwellers.
-Population: Ten Million
-Realm Size: Empire
-Unique Trait #1: The deep ones are an aquatic race who respect only two things: Money and Power. The constant desire for more power has lead to an arms race, with each of the Deep One's settlements seeking to outdo another in the field of industry. Thus, the Deep Ones are master craftsmen, creating many of the best wares available on the market.
-Unique Trait #2: (Created by me, mostly to reduce min-maxing)
-Unique Flaw #1: Aquatic Dependence- The Deep Ones must be immersed in salt water for at least three hours a day for every hour they plan to spend out of water. Fresh Water sends them into shock. Thus, they can't have any permanent colonies on land and can't travel far inland without assistance.
-Unique Flaw #2 (Created by me, mostly to reduce min-maxing)

RACIAL
-Majority Race: The Deep Ones- progeny of the eldritch beings at the deepest parts of the sea,
-Majority Race Appearance: http://i.imgur.com/vUP3K3I.jpg Glory to the old ones. Coloration varies, but tends toward that of local fish.
-Majority Race Characteristics: The deep ones, for lack of a better term, are the half-fish progeny of the elder gods that lie, dead or dreaming (occasionally both), in the darkest, deepest parts of the sea. They have been taught to respect only two things: power and money. They have a very mercenary attitude, and look down upon the surface-dwellers- after all, they are the progeny of the true masters of the world and seek to make it ready for their return. The Deep Ones are amphibious, and nearly immune to sudden pressure changes- they can live everywhere from tropical shallows to the deepest ocean trench.

RELIGION & MAGIC
-State Religion: Worship of the Sleeping Gods, elder things that the Deep Ones claim are the true masters of reality
-Religious Information
-Religion Demographics: Worshiping other gods is blasphemy unto their ancestors, punishable by immediate execution by torture.
-Holy Relics In Possession: The Heart of Azog, The Skull of Grunthor, and the second through fifth coins made by the Diopsids
-Holy Sites Under Control: The Tomb of Grunthor
-Magical Schools and Curriculum: Most magic practiced by the Deep Ones is Divinatory or related to Dreams. They seek to find a spell capable of piercing the dreams of the Sleeping Gods and awakening them.

MILITARY
-Total Military Size: 100,000 professional soldiers.
-Military Details: Most of the armies of the Deep Ones are naval saboteurs, focusing on preventing ships from approaching holy ground.  They do not actually engage in warfare often- their race is unified, and the surface-dwellers can not attack them in the ocean depths.
