Ammeni (ah, sweet Ammeni) is brutalized by a backstabbing council of power-mad despots and their poisoning agents.... Khale is a dense forest of tribal warriors. (I find them to be the least compelling.)
That's pretty funny.

The Ammeni hold absolutely no interest at all for me (except as targets for a good spear to the vitals) while the very first character I made up for the game was a Khale.

But then I also have zero use for Lunars except as targets for a good Orlanthi axe to the skull...

I guess I enjoy the tragic pattern of proud nation too busy fighting amongst themselves to ward off the real enemy until its too late. Many of my fantasy PCs are flavored with healthy doses of Vercingetorix.
