[QUOTE="Dr Simon, post: 5339119, member: 21938"] Well, that was quick. So far the party looks like: Padreigh - Dwarf Paladin FourMonos - Human Warlord Theroc - Human Sorcerer (Storm) Insight - Human Rogue or Human Fighter WD - Human Wizard (Orb) or Dwarf Fighter. Given the relative scarcity of arcane power, WD's fighter might be a better option than the wizard, making Insight's Rogue choice the better one, although it could work the other way around. Regarding background for minor nobles, there are hundreds of nobles who own rule a village and a manor, and little else. The title system seems to have shifted around a lot from the original feudal heirarchy, and you can have Barons on the same level as Arch-Dukes, so almost any title would work, most likely Lord (a minor knight) or Baron (typically a minor landowner). Delberz is ultimately ruled by Grand Duke Leopold of Middenland, but almost anyone could run his holdings for him. "Alain" sounds Bretonnian (ie French), so the sorcerer could come from a long way away. Although the wargame version of WH presents the Bretonnians as pseudo-Arthurian knights, in the RPG setting they owe more to the court of Louis XIV, all wine-guzzling decadent courtiers indulging in intrigue (so the people of the Empire see them), which sounds like a good background for a lesser son to try to get away from.
