Bumping this back up so that people can add/delete what they will!
But, it won't let me re-attach the document... but, I think we need to concentrate on the modifications our characters would want to make... the spies this is cool... but, we need to get the planning done for the actual game.

Would really like to hear what Mik, Gertie, and Jeremiah have to say, though. It's important we have everybody's input here.

Still waiting on comments for Kat/Liz's idea. Let them know now if something needs to change - and if so, what. The plan is to play on friday of this week, so the discussion needs to get wrapped up ASAP - we'll begin with you crossing the wall into the North, next time, so be ready for it.

Also, Dwarven Sylvanus needs a name that's not "Dwarven Sylvanus." Any ideas?

Ragnarok
Norse prophecy of destruction, I believe.
Heimdall
Norse god... means The Watcher
Berling:
Famous Dwarf in Norse myth. He and three other dwarves loved a female goddess that loved god. So, they made her a golden bracelet and, in turn, she spent one everything with each dwarf on earth, I believe..
Kvasir (Probably my favorite):
Kvasir was a lesser Norse god that was killed by two brother dwarves. His blood was mixed with honey and stored in jars. It then fermented and created a very strong alcohol.

My current idea:
Dwarven Sylvanus is Khaz Barok, The Shield of the North.
Initially a small mining colony settled by the dwarves with the tacit agreement of the Alder who controlled the forest above, Shar Barok (hard to translate, but essentially, "Iron of the North") was a major source of iron and copper for all of the dwarven clanholds.
It operated as such for thousands of years, and was only militarized to become Khaz Barok during the War of the Damned. Some of the deepest mines were closed off, while others were the sites of uncounted battles between the growing city's stalwart defenders and the minions of the Bluestar.
The city helds its own until Quarion the Great finished his Wall, and then settled into a new life as a military outpost first, and a mine second. Khaz Barok stood for a thousand years, with nothing but it's outermost borders touched by war. It is said the Bluestar tried everything to remove them, but that the noble Ancestors of the Northshield clan would intervene on their behalf. Though the aquifer that gave them water was poisoned, crytal clear water would run from their fountains. Though the earth would shake their tunnels and warrens, the old arches would hold.
For 900 years the Clanholds were untouched.
And then the end came, fire and death and horror in a week of disaster. None now alive know how, exactly, Khaz Barok fell. But fall, it did...though its tunnels were sealed, and the strange hole in the deathward repaired, it remains a barren place infested by the unquiet dead.

Is this the place where Xath's family bit the dust?The_Universe said:
There is a thanesport for Thane. There's Quarion's Rest for Quarion. There's the Amastatian temples for the Amastatia. There's the Jade Forest academy for Zoa Jade (sp?).
What about it got renamed for Gawyn? --However you spell the name of the dwarf that is undead in the North cause he was a friend of the bluestar before he went all evil.--
