Races and their traits

Tango-Mo

The Tang Mo are generous and kind monkey-people. Tang Mo translates as "The Thousand Monkey Isles", which refers to the area where they live. There are various breeds of Tang Mo. They are very brave and simple, and many are also believed to be insane. They can raise armies when they must, for all of the other Akaviri nations have, at one time or another, tried to enslave them. So far the Tang Mo have always succeeded in defending their lands. Recently they have shrewdly allied themselves with their former enemies, the Ka Po' Tun.(this is info from UESP now time BNW baby lol)many Tang-Mo have sailed from their homeland of Akavir and landed in Morrowwind and Skyrim in 190 5E and have started their own little communities most are peaceful and have become bards, merchants and athletes but some are thieves, smugglers even assassins.

Racial power: flexibility(able to climb and leap much farther then any other reason)

Ka Po'Tun

The Ka Po' Tun are a race of (tiger-like) "cat-folk" who live in the continent of Akavir. It is unknown to what extent they are similar or related to the Khajiit. The Ka Po' Tun are one of four races who live in Akavir; the other races are the Kamal, Tang Mo, and Tsaesci. Although all of the races have fought each other at various times, the Ka Po' Tun consider the Tsaesci to be their greatest enemies. They have recently allied themselves with the Tang Mo.[1]

The leader of the Ka Po' Tun is Tosh Raka. He is rumored to be a divine being who was the first of his race to succeed at becoming a dragon. Although some believe the story is metaphorical, Mysterious Akavir claims that the change was indeed physical and that Tosh Raka has all the characteristics of a dragon, with a tiger-like coloring. Under the rulership of Tosh Raka, the former Po Tun were renamed to Ka Po' Tun and became a rival to the supremacy of Tsaesci. After the ultimate defeat of the Tsaesci, they plan to invade Tamriel.

BNW info:the Ka Po'Tun have made several attempts to colonize mainland Elswyr in 140 5E Last Seed.all their attempts however failed and many Ka Po'Tun are scattered and have made small communities in Elswyr, Cyrodil and Morrowwind.

Racial Power:Claws(same as Khajiit) .Rage(no different then Berserker power of the Orcs)

Tsaesci

The Tsaesci, which means Snake Palace, are a race of vampiric serpents originating from the continent of Akavir, east of Tamriel. The serpent-folk apparently "ate" the men that lived on Akavir, although this phrase could mean that they assimilated with them as a culture. Their appearance has been described differently on many occasions, the only consistency being that they are "tall, beautiful (if frightening), [and] covered in golden scales." They have been described as having human upper bodies and serpentine lower bodies in some cases and being entirely snake-like in others. The Tsaesci are known to fight without shields or armor, using only swords in combat. The nature of the race is a tapestry of historical contradictions, so what little is known about them is uncertain. It is impossible to separate fact from possible embellishments by storytellers eager to make the Tsaesci more monstrous.

BNW:some Tsaesci have settled all along Valenwood and Cyrodil avoiding the warm sands of Elswyr. the Tsaesci have a massive Akaviri style village on the very southern coast of Valenwood.

racial Power:venom spit,immune to disease.

Falmer

The Snow Elves, also known as the Falmer or Ice Elves,[1] are a proud race of mer with an unusually great aptitude for magic. They tend towards cold, remote regions,[2] and inhabited a portion of Skyrim before being displaced by the Nords in the late Merethic Era and early First Era.[3] Before that, they had a civilization which rivaled even the Altmer of the Summerset Isles. They resemble white-haired, pale Altmer, and have very long lifespans, as well as a strong resistance to frost.[4] Legends say they favor spears and archery in combat

BNW:the few that survived the Dwemmer went into hiding and are now out in the open again and have become apart of NTK,Cyrodil and even the High Rock Republic.

racial power: the wraith of the Remnants is a powerful ability that allows the Falmer to have blizzard(ice cloak just like the Dunmer can use flame cloak)swirl around them and harm those that get to close

The district is in ruins(more so then the rest of the Imperial City) with NIP and Militia fighting every way they can. their main bases(yes the terrorists have a base) the Northern watch tower, that has been fortified with mortars LMGs and many NIP elites, is controlled by the NIP. while the Militia's base is made out of a old house now fortified with the central street having three trenches in the center with road ways to the side but two large road blocks that block the whole central road.
