New game in home-brew world

could either dead-radish or U-marth tell me something about the Full-moon house?

dead-radish, Am I allowed to play a son of one of the leaders of the full moon house?

Hmm, other than chaning my character's name to match the Houses of Estolad, I think I can start building Darrien. Should be an interesting adventure for DM, players, and readers alike.
 

Full Moon: It is believed this house was utterly destroyed 400 years ago in the purge by the then nescient house New Moon. Families of the house where originally named after the stars.

This was the richest and in some ways most noble of the Houses of Estolad.

When western men retreated over the seas thousands of years ago the Full Moon House initially founded Estolad.

Around 400 years ago certain plots of House Full Moon where uncovered and the collective milita of Estolad, who at that time was under their rule, revolted and purged house Full Moon from Estolad and formed House New Moon.

I would say that almost all the nobility of House Full Moon was destroyed. And since they where a house of nobles that means almost everyone in the house was killed. Those not of the nobility where required to swear alligance to one of the other houses, most swore to the Gibbous Moon house.

Not many people these days know what the actual crime commited by house Full Moon was (you'll need some ranks in Knowladge Local or History) however the two most common stories seem to circle around the fall of the kingdom just north of Estolad, now called Daurengawar, to the werewolves or an attempt to purge another house from Estolad that backfired.

Being a member of the Full Moon House is still considered the same as high treason and thus merits death if you are caught.

*please note that the distruction of house full moon was recently changed from 600 to 400 years ago so that it meshes better with some of the other history of that time.
 

Okay - I'm going to leave this open until Monday, and then make my choices then.

So far, we have:

Timothy - Human Bard
Garyh - Halfling Rogue
National Acrobat - Fey Elf Ranger/Adept
Reaper - Human Chain Master
Argent - Petty Dwarf Paladin
Venus - Human Paladin
Dungannon - Human Estoladian Ranger
Keia - Dwarven Ranger
Umath - Doriath Rogue

9 People so far. I'm thinking the party will be at 5-6 total.

If I missed anyone, let me know.
 


William Lapor of House Sapphire

William Lapor is a decendant of of a member of the full moon house, named Karl Urth of House Polar. Karl fled from Estolia when House new moon began with 'the purge'. After a couple of years, he came back under a new identity. He soon discovered aother surviving members of Full Moon, and they agreed to meet eachother 6 times a year, dates would vary and will brought by loyal messengers. As the years went by, the childeren of house Full moon took over the tradition of meeting 6 times everywhere.
At them meetings people soon discovered there wasn't much they could do, but decided to keep meeting because one day they mabe could. Recently new members say that time has come. They want house Full moon back as leaders af the nation. William is one of the leading members who have this vision of the futur. William favors a more secretive war in stead of all open attack, because house new moon wouldn't allow it and their military might was (right now) unsarpassed.
William has fully integrated into gibbous moon, and uses his trusted contact there to gain some basic information about what is going on. He's also using full moon members located in other houses. He is thinking about starting his own organization, The Clouds.

grrr....The inability to take cleric levels to get turning has pretty much neuterered paladins, which depend heavily on divine feats to be good...oh, well, new character concept for me....
