[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 8137379, member: 2209"] First, the last line of the Keoland entry is "conflict with the Sea Princes continues to plague the realm." so if I was looking for a setting hook to lead into adventure I would start there. Otherwise it is a backdrop that tells you humans, elves, gnomes, and halflings all live together so I would try and go with that generally for NPCs unless I wanted someone specifically to be known as an exotic Stonefist barbarian or Baklunish wizard. Another way to think of it would be as a way for PCs to root themselves in the world. It gives them some political history to build off of in thinking about their character, perhaps inspiring someone to come up with a reason their dwarf is there, or how rooted their gnome is in a community, whether they saw action against the Sea Princes, or whatever. Knowing they are in Keoland in the World of Greyhawk gives them a frame of reference to riff off of. [/QUOTE]
