[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 7070157, member: 2012"] Sounds interesting... Yes and no. There is no oriental traditions in the Lands of Harqual, although there are monastic traditions. Since this is a far traveled character, it is possible he came to the continent from Kulan's Far East, which exists in the Eastern Lands of Kanpur. Think of Harqual as being where North America, but a lot smaller. (In fact, from Western Kanpur going west, there is, first,The Fallenlands [a magically lost continent, recently found] and then Harqual and then Janardûn [land of psionics] then the Eastern Lands of Kanpur.) Your PC could either be from Eastern Kanpur, which isn't very detailed or possibly [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?238578-Janard%FBn-The-Psionic-Lands"]Janardûn[/URL], which does have some Asian flavor -- sort of a blend of ancient Near East and ancient/medieval European flavor. The primary gods of Kulan's smallest continent are known as the Pantheon of the Republic, with Anu being the leader of the pantheon. (The linked thread hasn't been updated in a while. The listed races are out of date.) The benefits of using Janardûn for your PCs background over Kanpur's Eastern Lands is that I have a better understanding of it in my head. The benefits of using the [URL="http://www.thepiazza.org.uk/bb/viewtopic.php?p=114068#p114068"]Eastern Lands[/URL] is that it is [U]wide open[/U]! I haven't done hardly anything with it, although much of what does get created for that region will come from the Kara-Tur setting, but modified a lot. (Yet, with Janardûn, I haven't set any monastic traditions at all, so you're free to come up with something unique, regardless.) I've linked to the post for region on The Piazza because the [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?252142-Kulan-The-Ancient-Lands-of-Kanpur"]Kanpur thread[/URL] here on EN world doesn't have anything listed for the region, at all. (I think I need to update it, today.) Note that Janardûn's republic spans almost all of the continent and is protected by Psionic Knights versus the Republic's foes, the ogre mages. While psionics are a big deal on Janardûn, it nearly unheard of on Harqual. And in many places on Harqual, people with psionics are shunned or even hunted. So, I would say, yes, the Ninja class is available but not for a native Harqualian character. And you are free to create your own monastery or clan without hardly any restrictions. The one restriction, if you go with Janardûn, he was trained in a monastery not by a clan. There aren't any ninja clans in the Psionic Lands (or on Harqual). Note that there is at least one Eastern Lands character I've already placed in Harqual. He is part of a group known as the Fallow's Cross Adventurers, which I borrowed from an old FR web site. However, the NPC is unique to Kulan. If I remember correctly, he's just a fighter. I have to check. :D [/QUOTE]
