Good to see some discussion and movement on the World War!
Laeral would be a member of the coalition opposing the Daryan-led nations, possibly after an attack from the Northeast Hespian NPC nation near Laeral, and because Daryan dominion over the sea and closure of ports/waterways would threaten Laeralian commercial interests. I could see Laeral entering the war wholeheartedly and devoting substantial blood and resources into the conflict. While High Fells and Serriel would've likely played only marginal roles in the conflict, Andhra, being a small nation bordering Darya with a similar culture, would have likely been an early (and easy) target of Daryan expansionism, and I'd enjoy having a major part of Andhra's cultural pride in the present day being tied to the national heroes who resisted the Daryan invasion.
Re: the various NPC nations, I echo LOM's point on being sure not to take up too much map space for them. I like the map and size of Darya as Legionas suggested.
I spoke with Xiomera some time back regarding the setup of the RP, and my plan was to settle the initial details through a discussion thread like this one, before creating a Google Form to take up suggestions and votes as to how various events of the war (ie, specific battles and campaigns) would go. Once that framework is in place, my idea was to settle details through some small-scale RPs (likely focusing on individual characters) taking place during the war, to occur during spring/summer 2021. The form I can whip up within a week or so.
