Oh, I had gotten confused at first because I thought towns and villages were the same.

@Yuna: I have to admit I am disappointed, I had a lot planned for you and your area as the whole savior of the Sacred Grove plotline but I understand if you don't have the time. If you choose to rejoin though, feel free. It wouldn't take much at all to get you up and going since you said before you wanted to go lone wolf. Yeah... I feel really baad,... I will try to join in if I can... but you know how life is...

HOUSE EBONHEART Date: ?
Military Logs Faction Leader Name: Draco Ebonheart IX, "The Dragon in the East"
Appearance: A large, powerful, wizened old man in ebony plate armor, complete with a full helm that covers his head, donned only in battle. If you said that Draco had reptilian features, you would not be the first. He possesses the slanted eyes that are common in his area, though the gold color of Draco's irises is unique to him alone. A wild mane of white hair cascades down his back and shoulders, combining with the beard covering much of the man's face. Only his large nose is visible beneath a prominent brow and Draco's intense stare; his mouth has long been lost in the majesty of the man's beard. Three long, scarlet scars run across Draco's face- The only proof of Draco's scrape with the legendary dragon, Beelzebub.
A massive hunk of what appears to be bone is Draco's weapon of choice; he likes to call it a sword, but in reality it is an enormous dragon's claw that has been fashioned into a weapon. The claw was mostly straight, but an edge has been added, and some of the misshapen parts were sanded off to make the weapon more aesthetically pleasing. It is known only as Talon and has been handed down from father to son for generations.
Background: Draco Ebonheart, Ninth of his name, is the Head of House Ebonheart and commonly referred to as the Dragon in the East, by friend and foe alike. It is common knowledge that long ago, in the time of legends, the Ebonhearts were the first to deem themselves a house of Dragonslayers when the great scaled beasts began to terrorize Aragat. Before then, they had long been known as a brave and noble house, and their family held much sway in Aragat, especially when it came to transporting and processing the ore that the Ebonheart family mined all across the region. Any Ebonheart would gladly speak of how his or her house was solely responsible for the eradication of the Dragons in Aragat, but the validity of this has been lost in the passage of time. What is known today, is that the Ebonheart family is one of the single most powerful factions in Aragat due to their control over the region's ore.
Draco himself was raised with a silver spoon in his mouth, never wanting for anything. When he came of age, the boy's father took the time to train his son in the ways of the warrior, instructing him in all manner of martial knowledge from using a sword and shield, to riding a horse, hand-to-hand combat, etc. What Draco liked learning about the most, however, was Dragon Slaying. Every so often, his father would give him a "special lesson" that somehow pertained to the slaying of dragons. Sometimes, the child got the feeling his father thought it was something of a joke, but the information he shared was useful nonetheless, and in time, Draco thought he was more than ready to slay a dragon, should one ever decide to come along.
When that did happen though, Draco realized he couldn't have been more unprepared.
A dragon known only as Beelzebub attacked a village not far from Dragon's Roost when Draco was a young man. His father and a contingent of his finest soldiers rode out to end the beast, and foolishly, Draco decided to sneak out and follow them, so that he could help too. Upon arriving, they found the town ravaged and burning, no survivors in sight. They had just started to dismount when Beelzebub pounced on them without warning, lighting the entire unit ablaze in a single sweep. It was chaos. They never stood a chance. Draco was the sole survivor, and even he had amassed a laundry list of injuries, ranging from broken bones to the wound covering much of his face. The recovery time was almost a year, but when Draco was back to full strength, it fell to him to lead House Ebonheart. Oddly enough, there were never any more reported sightings of Beelzebub, but Draco swears to this day that he's out there, and that one day, he'll return.
Recently, Lord Ebonheart has been amassing his fortunes and sending out recruiters. They promise good pay to any able-bodied man willing to fight for House Ebonheart. What the old man is planning, no one knows, but people in Aragat Foothills are beginning to talk...
Stats: HP: 12 ATK: 3 DEF: 4 SPD: 2
Bonuses: Dragon's Tooth Situational As long as Draco can see the Wall of Aragat, he will be empowered, gaining +3 ATK.
Dragon's Scale Regional As long as Draco is in Aragat, surrounded by the Wall, he gains +2 DEF. Location: Dragon's Roost Hero Name: Draco Ebonheart X, "Drake"
Appearance: A man in his mid-twenties with a sturdy build and broad shoulders. He wears the telltale black plate armor of the Ebonhearts, though his helm is open-faced, so "his enemies can look into the eyes of the man who kills them." Those eyes happen to be the same striking shade of gold as his father's, but Drake's hair is black, not white, and cropped close to his head. He has his father's nose, but apparently got his looks from his mother, as the ladies in Dragon's Roost find him handsome. Drake utilizes mixed martial arts when he fights, using a pair of augmented gauntlets called Twin Fangs.
Background: Draco Ebonheart, tenth of his name, was raised in the exact same fashion as his father, only the Ninth took dragon slaying far more seriously, and as such, much more of his son's learning was dedicated to honing Drake into the perfect weapon. Difficult, sometimes downright brutal training molded Drake into one of the strongest warriors in Aragat. His lust for battle and his lightning fast movements are legendary throughout the region.
Stats: HP: 8 ATK: 3 DEF: 2 SPD: 4
Bonuses: Dragon's Eye Situational Being outnumbered or facing a powerful foe causes Drake to enter a higher state of awareness, granting him +3 SPD and allowing him to perceive things far more rapidly.
Dragon's Claws Regional As long as Draco is in Aragat, surrounded by the Wall, he gains +2 ATK. Location: Orichalcum Hero Name: The Black Dragons
Appearance: Men and women covered in black from head to toe. Their armor consists of blackened steel breastplates, gauntlets of the same dark metal, greaves worn below their pants that end just before the knee, blackened leather boots and steel, open-faced helms covered by the Dragons' black hoods. Their faces are covered by masks of varying colors, each displaying a different draconic visage. Only their golden eyes are visible behind these. Each Dragon uses a weapon of their choice.
Background: Only the strongest members of House Ebonheart are selected to join the Black Dragons. Once selected, a Dragon is stripped of his or her name and standing, their lives forfeited willingly in the hope that their contributions will aid in the defense of House Ebonheart. It is one of the greatest honors any Ebonheart can hope to achieve, and many Dragons only got their positions after dedicating themselves entirely to training from the time they were children. The test for entering the Black Dragons? Hopefuls enter the Cave of Black Dragons, in Auromis. Those who survive, are made into members.
Currently there are three Black Dragons, differentiated only by the colors of their masks and the weapons they use: Reinforced Ebony Claws Knives/ Explosives Spears and Shield
Stats: HP: 10 ATK: 3 DEF: 3 SPD: 3
Bonuses: Dragon's Dive Situational When the Black Dragons focus their attacks on the same target, they are granted +3 SPD.
Dragon's Command Cooperation When following Draco Ebonheart into battle, the Black Dragons gain +2 ATK.
Cost: 300 per additional Black Dragon Turns to recruit: 1 Location: Auromis
Town Logs Aragat FoothillsOrichalcum The Great Wall of Aragat - Battlement Description: An enormous wall that runs along Aragat's borders. It provides +3 DEF. Project: None
The Forge - Village Description: A massive open-aired market dominating the center of Orichalcum. Here you will find all manner of commerce and trade, as any blacksmith worth going to will set up his shop here. Its presence is an excellent source of revenue for Orichalcum. Project: None
The Blacksmith's Guild - Fort Description: Something between a pub, a union, and a family, this place is home to more riff-raff and hooligans than Orichalcum knows what to do with. When looking for strong fighters though, there's nowhere else to go. You can also train here by brawling the blacksmiths--Just know that you WILL be paying for repairs. Project: None Location: Western border of the region, on the Blazebane River Dragon's Roost Dragon's Roost - Castle Description: A massive castle made of Ebony that dominates the center of the town named after it. It is here that Draco Ebonheart makes his home, training any who come seeking knowledge. Project: None
House Ebonheart - Fort Description: The home of the Ebonhearts. Filled with strong warriors of all ages; from recruits, to instructors. Project: None
Ore Processing Plant - Village Description: All of the ore mined in Aragat is sent here to be processed before being sent to Orichalcum via the Blazebane. The jobs provided generate revenue for the Ebonhearts. Project:None Location: Eastern border of the region, just slightly north of the Southern border Auromis Cave of Black Dragons - Fort Description: A mysterious place only rumored to exist. No one really knows what the cave contains, but this is where the Black Dragons are born. Project: None
The Black Smog - Battlement Description: A strange, dark haze is almost constantly present in the valley where Auromis is settled. To those unfamiliar with the area, it is unpleasant and noxious, but to natives, the Smog's existence is almost unnoticeable. The Black Smog confers a +2 bonus to SPD and +1 to ATK while fighting in Auromis. Project: None
The Mine - Village Description: A gold mine that the town was named after. Though it has been present for generations, the mine has yet to be exhausted, its precious resources conserved by the Ebonheart family, and protected by the Black Dragons. Project: None Location: In the Northern half of the Aragat Foothills, just slightly North of where the Blazebane forks South
Overview This is my intro post, I would like you all to notice that fact that I have not started any projects or made any actions. I think we should all post one of these "Starter posts" so we can all know where everyone else stands ((And to see who's gonna participate)) after we have those, then we should all make our first actual movements and actions at the same time.
Also, NTNP, would it be possible to move around some of the stat points on a Hero as long as the total remained the same? Also, is HP a value all its own, or is it actually double your DEF like it says in the first post? Because I'm confused about Hero's starting HP, and whether or not I need to spend 100 gold to give my newly created units 3 HP or not

Because I'm confused about Hero's starting HP, and whether or not I need to spend 100 gold to give my newly created units 3 HP or not As far as the information goes that's fine. Moving on to how you get an HP value:
DEF x 2 = HP for a regular unit
Led Units gain +2 HP on top of their current HP. Thus DEF x2 = HP +2
Finally Hero units gain +2 HP on top of the +2 HP for being a former Led Unit. Thus their formula is DEF x 2 = HP +4
As far as having your two Hero units starting with those 9 stats in whatever order you choose, yeah go for it. Just remember to add the +4 HP onto it once you are done.
Also thank you for joining the wargame. Now all we have left is Winters and Oni before we can start... and I am very much looking forward to some of the events I intend to throw at you in the first couple of days. It should give it a few nice twists and make it feel like at least a little bit of a narrative.

I'm sorry for unintentionally leading you on like this, NT. I didn't handle this very well, and I don't know how to word this now without looking like an even bigger ass.
Sorry
