Two little matches were struck against a fare stone. Soon the whole world was swallowed in a mountain of flames.
1372 DR, The Year of Wild Magic:
A falling star fell from the heavens and crashed into the north of Faerun. Where it landed is unknown, but a small earthquake was felt across the lands of the north.
1373 DR, The Year of Rogue Dragons:
Throughout Faerun five metallic dragons were seen at random locations. However, these dragons attacked towns and villages for reasons unknown. Each of these dragons were riden by figures dark and mysterious. Who these beings were and where they came from is a mystery as well, as was their purpose in their doings.
1374 DR, The Year of Lightning Storms:
A strange year indeed. Violence and crimes have fallen near silent as they dwindled to nothing much at all. The dragons that caused havoc the year before have vanished from the skies. Evil monsters all throughout the lands have been appearing less frequently. Cities prospered, populations grew. People were happy. However all was not well beneath the skin of this glorious illusion. Things are about to change...
It is the 24th day of the month of Eleint and all is well in the Cormyrian town of Wheloon (as it has been this past year). The town has grown fairly well. However, this month strange things began to happen. People began to disappear.
Three months ago eight adventurers entered town for individual reasons. Though they were adventurers they could not bring themselves to depart this town. Their fates were already set, but of course untold. These adventurers have yet to meet each other. During the same time these travelers came to Wheloon the Red Wizards of Thay established a small compound outside of town. The adventurers heard of this, but have not gone to the compound yet. Led by a fledgling Red Wizard, the wizards and their bodyguards of this compound have a small operation in which they produce potions, scrolls, and occasionally minor magic weapons and armor.
A couple of days ago the adventurers heard of rumors of the disappearance of two young men who never returned to their homes the night before. The men were strong, healthy, and fit, working as loggers. The adventurers investigated on their own a bit, discovering that the men were last seen at one of the local taverns named the Golden Songbird, speaking with a tall woman with long, dark hair. The men left with her, and the three were spotted walking out of town as a group. A local merchant got into contact with each of the eight adventurers and asked them to meet at the same tavern where the incident began, offering information on the disappearance. Ironically, the eight adventurers just happened to get to the tavern at the same times. They greeted each other and minded their own business. One by one they entered the tavern...

Howdy y'all. As you can see I am interested in getting a Forgotten Realms game started. It is to be a big campaign to say the least, so I am looking for 8 players that think they can bear it out with me.
Characters are to be 1st level. Any apropriate ECL race from the FRCS is allowed. Core classes only to start off with. However any D&D and FR book can be used to decide equipment, skills, and feats for the characters. 25 point buy.
Before anything though, I want some information on your characters. Some descriptions, some backgrounds. Feel free to add some information about yourself as well.
And just for your information I am looking forward to players that can post at least every other day, though I would enjoy posting every day.
Anyhoo, let's see how this thing goes...

But I assure you, though I may use published adventures every once in a while, I certainly don't run them the same. I figured this adventure would be a good one to start off with and see how our playing habits go, if you know what I mean. ![:]](http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png "Devious :]")
But anyhoo, that is up to you guys if you want to switch to dice rolling.
Well, do you have any knowledge of the Forgotten Realms? I'm not sure of this, but there could be some links to some sites that may help you with info on the FR in one of the sticky threads. However, I'm sure I could help you out as well. Let's take a look at some of your character ideas and maybe we can put some Faerun flavor to it.
