The fantasy/medieval kingdom of [[Durkin]].

== Character Creation Guidelines ==


You are an experienced professional in the prime of your career. That career might be as a hardened mercenary deployed repeatedly to help beat back the ever-fecund orc tribes in the foothills of the [[Ozgarn Mountains]], or it might be something more gentile, like a polyglot who is a learned translator in the royal library of [[Camlin]], or a wealthy entrepreneur of [[Cormire]] who owns several profitable high-end brothels.
* [[Vasker Raiden]]
* [[Selena Meriwether]]
* [[Catherine Magellan]]
* [[Lyvian Beaumont]]
* [[Grunk]] and [[Brot]] and Vogden, mountain giants
* [[Skardsen]]
* [[Rolf Draxen]] and [[Cavaziel]]
* [[Kahn Draxen]]
* [[Terrick Magnuson]] of the [[Mercuric Order]]
* [[Inarra]]
* [[Lira]] and [[Meriel]]
* [[Baxter Beaumont]] and his assistant [[Vanessa]], and [[General Connery]] and [[Nesta]].
* [[Esme Harrington]] ???
* [[Wimbly]] and [[Dravus]] and [[Carson]] of the [[Spice Road]] checkpoint.
* [[Arthur Aragon]] and Rose, and [[Von Charney]], his rotund architect neighbor
* [[Captain Shackley]] and [[Lord Aylesford]]


Before building out your character, write up a brief physical description and background that answers at least these questions:
* what's your name?
* where are you from?
* what's your profession?
* how did you get so good at it?


You needn't be physically powerful or fit, but you must be capable of travel and communication.
Other Lords:
* [[Lord Callaway]] gives a speech about dissent
* [[Lord Aylesford]] runs Shackley and Cavaziel and attacks Callaway
* Lord Wharton was hanged
