What was your first nation?

[Morkilus]

I had better make this post before everyone forgets. What nation did you first play the game with? I realize this might make it biased towards the demo-enabled nations, so say if it was the demo or not.

Mine was Vanheim, full version since I was so excited to see an entire nation of just vans, no wimpy humans - and I grew attached to the theme after the Council of Wyrms game. My first Dominions game ever I started with Man (Dom2), since I usually start with "terrans" or "humans" or whatever when I get a new game, since you can appreciate the differences of other races that way.

So what did you pick first (Dom3 and/or Dominions in general) and why?
