A new nation mod. Teaser Only.

[Saulot]

"It has been three cycles since the exodus.
I am one of the last who was born in the wastes on the homeworld. I remember clearly the scent of the land, and the sounds of it's night, but I have no nostalgia for that place. It was in all ways, a dead and dying world. The Psions spoke of how this was the last age, before the end of the world, and how it would be engulfed by the crimson sun.
When the druid Tak'tha heard the voice in her mind, speaking of salvation and deliverance, of an escape from that world, it brought a sliver of hope to our pack. We sent out runners to the nearby tribes, in the hopes of examining the source of the message, but as it turned out, there was not enough time. Just as that morning the voice first appeared, that evening was the question. A question, because it was not simply salvation, it would come at a price. Sixty cycles of servitude, to be given by the whole hive, the survivors and their descendants. Tak'tha spoke for our pack in all spiritual matters, and we would all honor her decisions. The deal was made, and at that very moment, an enormous column of blinding light, as if fashioned from a hundred stars, came from the night sky. The column expanded, surrounding us all, and when it receded, we were elsewhere. Now we know that it was a starbridge, but I had no words for it then.
There was only a hundred of us, but that was three cycles ago. Now we near a thousand, for this land though alien in many ways, is a paradise; filled with water, vegetation, and animals of all kinds. The younger of us have grown to a size previously reckoned impossible. However, the transformation isn't simply physical, our minds are now clear and focused, it is as if fetters has been lifted from our very being and this land has reawakened our spirit.
We also know, that a great upheaval is coming. The changing of many landscapes, of many fates, and a change in the destiny of this world. We will be ready to answer that call when it comes, and fulfill the bargain.
You probably did not realize, but you are the first human we have seen on this world, but we knew you existed somewhere when we found the ruins to the west, that were undoubtedly made by human hands. Sadly, it would be unfortunate for your tribes to know of us prematurely, that will have to wait. Now you have what you desired, and my packmates will soon have what they desire. The hunt begins..."

As I promised last week, this is the teaser for the next nation mod that I'm working on. This will where I'll post progress towards completion, and the mod when I'm finished.

Questions I should address now:
1. This is a nation of? - It's a mystery, though you're welcome to speculate (I imagine a few of you will figure it out quick.)
2. Why the mystery? - Because it's more fun that way
3. ETA? - April
4. Why post now? - Because it's hard to stay motivated while working quietly/alone/for a long period of time, and this helps.

Progress so far:
1 - Research - 100% complete
2 - Conceptualization - 30% complete
3 - Spritework - 20% complete
4 - Descriptions - 0% complete
5 - Extras (Spells/Heros/Pretenders) - 10% complete
6 - Trimming/Balance - 0% complete
