Regarding my own world:
I actually wanted to create my own world, but it turned out to be шаблонный, like Ashan. The main difference is that in my world, the gods are dead, the races are not limited, and religion is based on the worship of super elementals (a modder's dream - no restrictions). From there, the concepts of undead, empires, and Nords were borrowed (and I completely rewrote the lore of the dwarves when I started reworking the dark dwarves faction).
I chose Ashan because I was too lazy to come up with names (this problem can be solved with a name generator), plus Ashan has an elven language! I can create a couple of names based on it, and I also know a little bit about the lore)). This radical difference in the spirit of my Ashan compared to Ubisoft's is simply explained by the fact that while the West is busy worshipping gods and fighting each other in the name of the elements, a totalitarian atheist empire has ruled here for over 1000 years, and it was only broken by a plague.
Ment, I'll read about your universe later - it's too much information at once.
If you have any ideas for my factions, feel free to suggest them. I'm not going to come up with a huge lore anyway, and I'll add your interesting ideas to the race descriptions + I'll add pictures later
