[QUOTE="Leif, post: 5821283, member: 48762"] [b]Current Political Situation in the Flaeness, or the nearby parts at least[/b] You know, steeldragons suggested that maybe Simon, Raggs, and Iono had travelled to the Pomarj together, perhaps on some kind of mission. Whatever the mission is, whether it has already been completed or not, now they've run into Amaya, and the rest will soon be history. How does that grab everybody? I admit that it's not quite the idea that I was working with, but it's as good as anything I did have, and I can easily flesh this story out in oh, about two shakes. If I have everyone's agreement and cooperation, that is? Presuming for the moment that you'll give me the green light to proceed with this, there [i]is[/i] one bit of information I'll need. Well, two, but I'm hoping that everyone has already put his/her character's origin within Greyhawk on his/her character sheet, so that will take care of one. [Don't worry Lynda L., I'm thinking that you probably hail originally from Havenhill in the Principality of Ulek, ajacent to the Pomarj to the west, and that you've been working to arm orcs and goblins in the Pomarj at the behest of His Royal Highness, Prince Jeon II of Monmurg; Ruler of the Azure Sea; Captain of All Fleets, etc; the nominal potentate of the Hold of the Sea Princes,] Prince Jeon, you have begun to surmise, is seeking to foment rebellion and war against the Principality of Ulek, the County of Ulek, and the Duchy of Ulek, all of which lie in a neat row next to the Pomarj, the Principality is adjacent to it, then the County, and finally the Duchy of Ulek.

[Now everyone commit all of this info to heart immediately, because there's likely to be a pop quiz when you least expect it! :lol: ] Anyway, back to the one piece of information that I need (ahem!) -- what I'm curious about is where in Greyhawk you folk want to adventure?
