[QUOTE="SpiderMonkey, post: 3342112, member: 11385"] I'm trying to think of what daily life would be like in such a setting. Each settlement would be "ruled" by a noble from Brevor...new settlements would either be the domain of 3rd sons or something from the mainland. In practice, the daily affairs might be handled by some sort of mayor. Food would be more scarce than in a traditional setting. How much more important, then, are clerics? I'm thinking of using some of the "aurora polaris" stuff in the FB book, and making different colors omens for different things. I'll have to come back to this. It's tempting for me to include some analogues of America being settled by Europeans. I'll have to think more on it. What role does the "Eldwin Clan" of mages (mentioned above) play? I'd like a little more inner conflict within the human communities. How to inject a bit more intrigue? Maybe between Eldwin Clan, Clerics, Nobles, and Common folk? Finally, I think that because of the frontier-nature of the setting, some Old West tropes might be appropriate. Maybe the supposed authorities are only so in name only, bowing to more powerful (and amoral) adventurer types. [/QUOTE]
