[QUOTE="Leatherhead, post: 8352304, member: 53176"] Lets give it a week, to see if we can gather one or three more people. You can begin planning out your characters in the meantime. The main thing to consider is The Last War and The Mourning. As a brief refresher, The Last War was a war of succession where the Five Nations (Aundair, Breland, Cyre, Thrane, and Karrnath) were fighting over who got to control the throne of the Kingdom of Galifar, and by extension most of the continent of Khorvaire. It lasted for just over 100 years, ending after a magical disaster called The Mourning literally wiped the nation of Cyre off the map. To this day, nobody knows what caused The Mourning, and there is no shortage of theories about it. With their nation destroyed, what few Cyran refugees lived through the event fled into the neighboring lands. Some met with temporary shelter, some turned away at the borders, and some met with blades in hand. Nowadays, while Cyrans can be found nearly everywhere in Khorvaire, some were able to establish communities. Notably New Cyre in Breland, and Hope in Q'barra. Prince Oargev ir'Wynarn is the defacto leader of all Cyrans and would give anything to find out exactly what happened. After The Mourning in 994YK, the Treaty of Thronehold was signed in 996YK, officially ending the war, freeing the Warforged, and recognizing the sovereignty of (most) newly forged nations. The last two years have been met with an uneasy cold-war-like peace, small skirmishes still abound, territory is still disputed, but none want to start up another full scale war lest their nation be destroyed next. Every character from Khorvair has had their life shaped by these events, and nearly all of them (save for a sparse few newly forged Warforged) have lived most of their lives with The War being constant. Also something to consider: Are you from Cyre (and especially Metrol) or Thrane? Cyrans, as you can tell, will have a special connection with this adventure. And Thrane had several armies in Cyre which were lost on the Day of Mourning. [/QUOTE]
