   countries
I'm so sick of posting all the time. Stupid English!

So, I've got nothing to say really. Been watching some stuff on mobs and horrific crimes. I'm trying to prepare for when I write Adellenine's backstory. Yeah, I still haven't done that even though I said I'd start months ago. This stuff will help with Borelis's and Aurora's backstories too, even though I'm just writing one backstory for the both of them. This is when having related characters comes in handy. And I don't have to do backstory on the von Bavol since I've been doing Zephyr history. The von Bavol family pretty much is Zephyr. Zhek and Koji's stories end up coming together, and then running into Ah-nee and Ai's. Nayeli doesn't need a backstory. Inay and Caleb's backstory will be interesting. Inay's seven years older so I don't think I can put them together. I need to do a lot of work on Rixari before I do anything with them though.

Epic has a lot of countries all with different nationalities. So, we're spliting them up to work on them. I got Zephyr, Byely, Tshilaba, Rixari, Emboidery, Roux, Amerique, Milano, and Teapot so far. I'm an expert on Zephyr, I still need to work more on the others. Yeah, we named the countries really randomly. Zephyr is Greek for wind or west wind. Byely is Russian for white. Tshilaba is Romani for seeker of knowledge. Rixari is Latin for scuffle. Emboidery was a type of needle near me at the time. Roux is red hair in French. Amerique (spelled wrong I'm sure) is America in French. Milano was the kind of cookie I was eating when I had to name the country. Teapot is what was sitting next to me when I had to name the country. I have one more but I forgot what it was.

We work on some countries together. Strawberry is probably a clear favorite among all of us so we all come up with things for it. We'll probably all work on Button and Smidgen too. Yeah, some of the names are really out there weird. We've a place call Crossword. Most of the completely random ones are my fault.

So, Zephyr is a very small windy country between the coastal Plyash and...Milano, I'm pretty sure. Most of it is surrounded by mountians and it's got a small river with the delta taking up most of the far fields. It's perfect for growing crops and raising livestock. Zephyrians all have dark hair of any color and light eyes of any color (except Ai). Zephyr is actually a pretty young country, only one hundred forty seven years old. Zephyr's got big swallows, like the kind you see down in Mexico.

I got the government and other stuff dealing with the seven noble families but I'm not putting it up. I think this is pretty much it.
