A New World of Kulan PbP Game! (Recruitment [Full])

[Knightfall]

Okay Jagr Misthunter Catfolk Ranger is ready for your approval. I still need to purchase a little gear, but the big stuff is in and he's ready for play. The background is perhaps a bit unusual, I would appreciate any suggestions of where it might have taken place. http://www.enworld.org/forum/showth...tment-Full-)&p=6711615&viewfull=1#post6711615

I like that background a lot. It's a great way to have the PC end up in Bard's Gate. A one way trip, no less.

Since catfolk are normally found only in Northwest Kanpur and the Dark Continent, Jagr would likely have been born amongst the catfolk tribes of the Savanna of N'Shal. As for the royals, there are several option on the Dark Continent.

There is the land of the Aujira Islands -- a high magic land based on Southern Africa and, specifically, the Zulu Kingdom. (The citizens of Aujira are lead by powerful arcanists who are masters of Abjuration magic. Their bravest warriors are Abjurant Champions as per the prestige class in D&D Complete Mage.)

There are the Corsair Domains as per the Al-Qadim setting. These islands aren't open to the wide sea, like in the Realms, however. I shoehorned the Corsair Domains into the gulf between the African half and African-Arabian half of the Dark Continent. These islands don't really match the background you've devised, however.

There is the Dark Jungle region where a new land (based on the Ashanti Empire) is growing into an empire. This growing kingdom is building itself in the shadows of what was once Firryaith. The Akanti prefer to avoid the ruins of the elves, but when the need is great, they will scavenge building material from the less sacred ruins. The Akanti show respect to the elves of the Dark Jungle, but they do not fear them. War has never broken out between the Akanti and the elves, but there have been skirmishes.

There is Kotaresi, a dragonborn land. The Kotar, as they call themselves, have completely integrated themselves in the culture of the Dark Continent, and they are renown sailors. They have formed a thalassocracy on the island chain that sits along the western shore of the continent. The sea kingdom is one of the most powerful in the region, and the Kotar dragonborn consider the Aujirans to be their enemies.

You can read more about my version of the Dark Continent here: [link]. The version on The Piazza is more up-to-date than the older version I once posted on E.N. World (I think).

If you want to pick someplace from Southwest Kanpur, instead, you can but catfolk are less common there. They would also be less free in those lands.

Languages
The most 'common' language of the Dark Continent would be Midani. This is the common language of the Land of Fate and it is spoken throughout the extreme southern lands of Kanpur. If you need a 'common' language from Southwest Kanpur, you should consider Khemitian. It is spoken by the citizens of Khemit, Phillistia, and Cathe, as well as in the Kesh Lands. (It is equivalent to ancient Egyptian.)

Other racial/regional languages from the two regions include the following: Aatean (the language of a lost human tribe), Avian (for Asherakes), Kainid (for the Hukhamet), Phillistian, Sphinx, and Titanite (elephant-folk on the same name).

 

[Knightfall]

just checking in to show interest and to be poked when it begins.

I'm almost done reading the adventure. One more section to go. Plus, I need to refresh my memory for the Bard's Gate book.

I had to take my dad some fruits & veggies today and made a run to Whyte Ave to trade some books I didn't need to get a 3E Dragonlance book and two d20 books. I have to empty the dishwasher and clean the kitchen, as well as take out the recycling too. If I have any energy left, I really will need to do a load of laundry.

If your PC is finished, re-post it here please: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?468735-Rogues-Gallery-Bard-s-Gate-PbP-Campaign

Got a couple of minor tweaks to make, but Jagr is essentially ready. I'll get him moved over. What's the local common or trade tongue in bard's gate called? I'm thinking Jagr has been learning it, though he still has a thick accent and may occasionally get things wrong. He has been making The Felled Ogre his home base if that works for you.

Okay, good to know.

What's the local common or trade tongue in bard's gate called? I'm thinking Jagr has been learning it, though he still has a thick accent and may occasionally get things wrong.

It's called Bravatin. It's written form uses the Novarese alphabet.

There is also the verbal trade language known as "Pircēja Mēle," which is commonly called the Buyer's Tongue. It originated in the kingdom known as Nilvah and doesn't have any known written form.

He has been making The Felled Ogre his home base if that works for you.

That's fine with me.

A room costs 5 sp per night, or 2 gp per week, or 7 gp per month. Meals include eggs, bacon, bread, roast beef, toasted chicken, meat stew, and a good full grain bread from around 2 sp per meal.

[sblock="The Felled Ogre"]Jagr has met not only the owner, Durst Hammerhand (a large bald human), but also Sylnry (who cares for the rooms), Durst's wife, Aileen (who cooks the food), and two stableboys who care for the horses. Jagr hasn't learned the boys names yet. They are quite shy around him.

The building is two stories and in the front of the inn hangs a wooden sign bearing the image of an ogre teetering on one leg.[/sblock]

 

[Shades of Eternity]

already character posted

if anybody wants to start intertwinning characters, I have my backstory cards ready to go.

(yes, I'm using this game as a chance to try all the toys I've picked up or found over time. )

 

[Scott DeWar]

Knightfall, in case you are wondering why my character is still not in the RG, it is because I am still trying to pare down his spell book/equipment list to be under the wealth by level still. This is a lot of work!
