[QUOTE="TaranTheWanderer, post: 8299479, member: 15882"] So, I'm thinking of the ruling class being comprised of the City-States of the people saved. You know, people from the various cities were rescued and a council from each Province/City or whatever was put together to work with the Mage to make sure their people were taken care of equally. Over time, the leaders of each area become Nobles because of their proximity and leverage with the Mage. These Nobles become Noble Families - the ruling class. As the place starts to fall apart, they are unwilling to let it go and lose power/influence/riches. So, even as the realm begins to fall apart, they are trying to keep it secret while trying to solve the issue at the same time. With that in mind...what should I do with races? I think it might be neat if one of the Noble Houses was made up entirely of Hobgoblins. But, other than that, I wasn't planning on making each Noble House a representative of its own race. But maybe I should? idk. Dwarves are not there. I feel the Dwarves would have locked themselves in their own mountains and tried to deal with the threat themselves instead of joining the Mage. That, or the issue started in the Underdark and the Dwarves were already destroyed or too busy to join them. If a player wants to play a dwarf, they'll be considered a short, hairy human. Maybe there was a single family of dwarves but their parents were kicked out during the 'civil war' I have planned. [/QUOTE]
