The fantasy/medieval kingdom of [[Durkin]], and its capital, [[Camlin]].

== 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.

* [[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?


Check out [[:Category:Characters |some previous characters of this world]] for some ideas.
Other Lords:
* [[Lord Callaway]] gives a speech about dissent
* [[Lord Aylesford]] runs Shackley and Cavaziel and attacks Callaway
* Lord Wharton was hanged


As there are primarily only humans native around [[Camlin]], if you desire to be another race, the following templates may be implemented:


* [[Elf Template|Elf]] - -10 pt unusual background

* [[Dwarf Template|Dwarf]] - -10 pt unusual background
<table border>
* [[Half-elf Template|Half-elf]] - -5 pt unusual background
* [[Half-orc Template|Half-orc]] - -5 pt unusual background


Regardless of your race, origin, and backstory, there must be a reason that the kingdom could call upon your services, and all party members will have a Sense of Duty; you are patriots. Not fanatics or zealots, but

Anything Exotic (alien icon) or Supernatural (lightning icon) will require an additional expenditure on Unusual Background, to be discussed with and determined by the GM. Generally speaking, if the desired attribute is allowed, expect to spend at last that much again on Unusual Background.
