Wolflord is fine.
Set Harth, welcome aboard.
I'm full at 4, as I like how smaller games do seem to go faster.
If others want (from the earlier incarnation), then I can run a second group.
As far as Deities go, FRCS/F&P, PH, others if they are racial or seem appropriate. As well, the Demons and Devils from Book of Vile darkness are OK. f there is another Deity that you would like, let me know, or you could create one, as I just threw this mini-setting together for this anyways. Pick a couple of Domains, some strictures/flavor and we can just go with it.
Although my D20 library is rediculously Huge at this point (I sell games for a living online as well, though I won't plug here, out of respect to the ENWorld affiliated sales site), I do not have the Necromancy Book. Let me know what you want to use from it.

Just wanted to go ahead and let you know I'm almost done with my character - the creation/equipment part of it, at least. I'm still working on background/appearance and whatnot, but I'm quite far along now.
Edit: By the way, I'm thinking for background something pretty close along the lines of what you were suggesting, with a little more embellishment; the family my character belonged to was wiped out by the current ruling family on the pretense that my character's family was tainting the elven bloodline in pursuit of power (granted, my character would be living proof of this "pretense"...). My character was one of the few surviving members, and went on exile out of the elven nations, and joined up with the horde for the vengeance opportunity - not to mention being a generally foul enough individual to do it just for the chance to kill stuff.

Well Orochi,since you do share the name of my fave Monster to stick in my mantis Deck back in my L5R days (all the better to eat Crane/Naga Ports), I don't have a prob extending this to 5.
The one stipulation is that you play some sort of Arcane caster (Wiz/Sorc pref), or Divine caster (whichever way Set Harth doesn't go, in order to round the group out. Is this Ok with you?
The group seems to have lots of sneaky/death machine effectiveness so far, and they need some magic.
I did say before in the thread that this game may have a rather High death rate, so I am sure that at least someone might get the 'chance' to go with a replacement character down the road as well.
I'll see what I can do about a Map and some more backgroud Tuesday afternoon. My new scanner is being difficult at the moment.

In the end, I decided on Halfling Outrider (renamed Goblin Wolfrider) because it was too hard to qualify for Wolflord without going 'spell oriented' and I didn't want to do that.
So, what are my mount options, and how much will they cost out of my 50,000 gold? I'd like to get at least a Worg (CR2) as a mount, but at this level even that might be a bit too fragile - what about a Winter Wolf (CR5)? Or can I get an advanced Worg for those oh-so important extra HP it would have?
If you can let me know some costs for the various mount options, to deduct out of my 50,000 total, I'll work out the rest of my gear afterwards.
Personally, I'm hoping to be able to get a Winter Wolf, even if it costs a big chunk of my cash. It'd just be cool
(ha! a pun!)

Alright, I'm going to go with the Goblin Necro. I got my Character made up mostly last night. Is there a Rogue Gallery Thread to post characters yet?
I'll be using the Necromatic Feats and Spells from the Necromancy:Beyond the grave book and can provide explanations upon request. I also am curious about worg mounts and their costs.
Character Concept Preview:
Valrack the Diseased: Male Goblin Rogue 2/Necromancer 8
Valrack was born the runt of his litter and if wasn’t for his cleverness and cunning he would have perished long ago. First, he did well as a scout for his tribe. But later, when his troop joined the still neophyte hordes of Zuregath’s Legions, a chance run-in with a Drow wizard in Zuregath's employ led to his eventual apprenticeship to the Necromancer. For years Valrack endured abuse from the Drow always pretending to be less competent then he really was, until he was powerful enough to orchestrate the downfall of his master and take the Necromancer’s magical treasures for himself.
Today Valrack is one of the most powerful and feared wizards in Zuregath’s employ and few disobey him lightly, any who have tried usually end up strapped to a table for one of Valrack’s twisted experiments.
Appearance: Valrack cultivates the false impression of frailty, cloaking his small hunched figure in voluminous black robes, caked in miles of road dust. Years manipulating negative energies have twisted and ravaged his body and only helps to reinforce his seeming frailty. His greasy white hair hangs in wispy lengths from his bald crown. His once bright orange skin has turned to a pallid grey. A constant stench of death and decay lingers about his person and his solid black eyes seem to glow with a faint red light deep within their depths. Valrack typically uses an ebony cane topped with a silver skull to help him get around though he has no actual need for such a crutch. The cane is actually a magical rod taken from his former Master’s things, a devise capable of causing great pain and draining the life of anyone struck by it. Valrack only two constant companions are his vampire-bat familiar Kith, usually clamped to one of Valrack shoulders, and Hex, a female worg he raised from a pup to serve as his mount.
