    Update!
    Margot lives in Losanafar
    Los refers to -land of, and Anafar refers to the collective group of people who worship the goddess. Ishitar. Ishitar is the goddess of Love, sex and procreation. The Anafar arent very strong militarily. Thats what happens when you worship love and sex instead of battle and victory.

    The Capital is called Losarien. Land of the people of Arien. Those who worship the god of martial prowess, battle and vigor. Arius. The strongest militarily. And the Ruling Region of the nation.

    Losjudicar is the third region. They worship Justia. The goddess of Justice , order and stability. It is the people of Losjudicar who step up to resolve conflicts. And legend has it that when faith in Justia wanes, war and anarchy breaks out. Which then creates a need for order and stability, and then faith in Justia returns. This is called the Cycle of Juste. And the world is at the beginning of another conflict.

    The Evergreen. The Evergreen refers to the farmlands and rivers that feed the three great cities. By land it is the largest of the four. The people here worship various different deities related to crops growth, yield, wealth and farming.

    Together with Losarien, Losanafar, Losjudicar and the Evergreen the nation of Argonaught is the largest of the continent.
    The overarching theme of the story would explore the conflict between choosing to fight because of love as opposed to choosing to fight to establish your military dominance. The way this works is the King of Argonaught went to a diplomatic visit in the nearby kingdom, with which the Palace of Losarien has a land dispute.
    The king. Dies in a heart attack. The king has three princes. Two of the Arius worshipping prices instantly get agitated, and call it murder. The two princes immediately start planning a proper revenge, meaning an invasion. And war.

    I am going to ignore the people that claim Margot is a bad character. She is already plenty flawed as I added things to her personality and motivation and that is enough for me. If you are not interested dont reply to the thread.

    I'd recommend to meet the workshop criteria and then post one of Margot's scenes there. Currently only these two parts of the OP are anything to do with her, and I'd be amazed if anyone can help yet:-

    ..... but you posted to the "Character Development" thread.

    with your new information, you can post to the Setting Development area for feedback/questions about settings (IF you want feedback, that is...)
    If the purpose is to keep track of your updates and development in general, i'd suggest opening a Progress Journal. A lot of us on here have them and its a great way to keep all of your updates on your story in 1 spot :)

    Wow.

    Then maybe, just maybe, don't waste people's time by starting a thread asking for help on character development? Jeez...

    Also, in my humble experience, a writer who can't take critique doesn't tend to go far. Just saying :)

    yep this here is character development ... 'blow smoke up my ass about how great my character is' is three doors down, behind the waste skips and the sign that says 'beware of the leopard'

    If you don't want help, don't waste everyone's time by asking for it
