[QUOTE="Khaira, post: 3361130, member: 37069"] Yeah, I know it is difficult. And, for that reason, I have been working on a FR FAQ, so that people can have some sort of basis for knowledge. Even so, though, a person shouldn't have to be a FR junkie to play in the Rotunda. There's some basics of knowledge that are helpful, such as: [list] [*]Waterdeep is a HUGE metropolis, with opportunities for, more or less, anything. That means that you have your crime lords; you have you power groups, trying to take control of everything; you have your uppity nobles and noble houses, always attacking each other; you have your political battles, with people trying to get more and more political power; you have your subterranean horrific underground (Skullport), where drow, mindflayers, and worse monstrosities dwell close by, relatively speaking; you have enormous amounts of trade in the city; you have your slavers from aforementioned Skullport; you have the Council of anonymous Lords, trying to keep some semblance of order in the whole mess. [*]Waterdeep also has a huge harbor and, as one of the big[gest] trade cities, accepts people from all over the [un]known world. So take a character from the Arabian-influenced world of Zakhara; take a rough and tumble Ranger; take a nautical buckler of swashes. Take somebody from halfway across the world for a visit to Waterdeep. [/list] [list=1] [*]Someone involved with a crime ring [*]A slver [*]One of said monstrocities from that subterranean city (aka the Underdark) [*]A ship captain [*]Someone serving on a ship [*]A noble who doesn't understand the petty nature of the lower classes. [*]An indentured servant who is disgusted with noble rivalries [*]A merchant man [*]An anything-else-you-can-think-of, because it'll probably fit in! [/list] [/QUOTE]
