[QUOTE="Ariakor, post: 2232655, member: 8473"] i guess you're right on with that. i guess i was a bit unclear on the "uncomfortable" part. In generally a druidic character (with a background in one of the Southern Provinces) is probably just uincomfortable with all the civilised practices people from other parts of the empire have. but that should only be a minor obstacle, since the EMpire in its current form has existed for several generations already And on two occasions, when it became clear that the Emperor had lost the Mandate of Heaven, the people were obliged, so to speak, to remove the corrupted an stagnant dynasty and replace it with one that was better for the Empire in general. So this was mostly done by the nobility, but the people in general felt it when the Mandate of the current Dynasty neared its end and this also found its expression in further unrust within and without. So a character like this could indeed be loyal to the Empire as such, but not necesserely to the Imperial Dynasty (if justified, and such a character should get a feeling of growing instability in the real world as well as in the Spirit Realms). And your view towards other realms should be correct as well. I'm sorry that it takes me so long to post further background info, i just happened to have a lot more work for university comming my way then expected. nevertheless i should be able to post more infos (probably on the people of the empire and their culture, to help with character ideas) within the next day. if you want information on a specific topic, just post it here.
