Town name: Tropical
Race: Amphibian
The terrain: A tropical rainforest, with many trees (not dead trees) and many swamps (not swamps as there are at the Necropolic's environment).
Emblem:
Motto: "Nothing feels like sweet revenge."
Associated colors: Yellow and green.
History:
Race temperament description: The amphibians are evil, but they are rational and wise. They are extremely loyal, and will never betray an ally, even for their own life. They like the water of swamps, but they hate the salty sea water.
When an amphibian creature has some free time, he will sit at the bottom of his swamp, and ponder about the meaning of life.
They are very agressive and get angry easily.
They are very mysterious and quiet.
Race appearence description: The non-human creatures are mostly dinosaur-like, huge creepers (like lizards). The non-human skin is smoth, maybe with some scale.
The human-like creatures have strange eye-color (like yellow, orange, light green) they are thin, they have strong muscles (because of the swimming), and have membrane between their fingers. Their skin is a little green or purple.
Worship: After the Awful disaster, the amphibian lost their faith in Sylanna, the dragon of earth. They belived, she could have rescued them from the flood. Since she didn’t help them in their time of trouble, they came to believe that she had abandoned them.
They have turned to Shalassa, the water dragon, and her proxies, the Deep Lercoes. They believe that the Deep Lercoes are the only creatures that can dive deep enough to reach her palace.
Town overall look:
Three tropical rainforest tress in the swamp, and the buildings are on the, hanged from them, hanged between them or floationg on the water.

Findan: "You are right! You have to get some amphibian creatures before you come to Hallvick! Capture some tropical towns in your way to Hallvick, and recruit at least 120 amphibian creatures. They're communication isn't good. They won't know that you captured their towns. I beleive with all my heart you can do it! DO NOT DISAPPOINT ME! Good luck!"

After Dunfer was transformed into an amphibian hero, Gralto, the king of Sourex, gathered Hallvick's sanate.
Gralto: "I don't know if it's smart to kill Dunfer. He might be very useful for our forces."
Sanator: "How? And if we'll kill him, the elves' king's brother, it will raise the moral of the army!"
Gralto: "But he knows everything about Irollan! As you said, he's the brother of Aalaron, the king! He can give us tactical help and teach us the the secrets of the elves! He knows how they fight and their strategies!"
Sanator: "And how will we convince him to work with us?"
Gralto: "We'll threaten him: join us or die! He is smart. He knows the elves won't want him anymore after he was drowned. And also, if he will join us, the moral of the elves will be much lower!"
Sanator: "I guess you're right. But I think we can't trust him so easly."
Gralto: "Dunfer! You are guilty for spying, killing hundreds of amphibians, capturing few amphibian towns and swindling our people! For all those things, we will execute you! But, you have another choise. You can join our army and live! What do you want to do, Dunfer?
Dunfer: "I'll join you!" *smiling* "And together, with your power and my knowledge, we will destroy those elves that didn't want to be with us, the amphibians!"

Dunfer: "Ha ha ha!" *Evil laugh* "You just couldn't imagine me transformed into amphibian? If I wouldn't want to kill you, I would ask you to join me! Ha ha ha!
Findan: "What happened to you, friend? You're... YOU BECAME SO EVIL!

Dunfer: "We appreciate that. Where are they?"
Sarrow: "They are not far from here, eastwards. We erected some camps in the caves. We will attack them from underground."
Dunfer: "First, we will attack Ralat. It's a strong Sylvan town and it's on a island in the north. I don't want the enemy to capture it. and with the Prollfer, we'll drown it!"
Dunfer captures Ralat. Between the trees he finds Tieru's spirit.
Tieru's spirit: "Are you Dunfer, the brother of Alaron?"
Dunfer: "No! Atleast, not any more!"
Tieru's spirit: "I heard you are brave and strong elf. So, tell me exactly, what kind of strong elf fights against his brothers?"
Dunfer: "What are you trying to say?"
Tieru's spirit: "I guess, that you'll find out one day. But I am not the one who's going to tell you."

I did a sketch of how will be the buildings in the tropical town:
Town's structure:
There are three tall and thin trees, when the middle of the town (camera's focus) is between them.
The buildings' locations are: On the trees, hanged between the trees, floating on the water, in the trees' bottoms half on the water and hanged on the trees.
The background of the town (the thing behind the swamp, like the cave's wall is Dungeon) is a continuous tropical rain forest. But it's lower then the trees which are inside to town.
The way that the camera watches the town is from the upper side, like in Sylvan, Academy and Haven.
NOT from the above, like in Fortress.
Town's structure:
Tropical town's music:
