I'll take Imperial Game Warden if I may. Sure thing. Some more fluff for you all NPCS of Note: Ambassador E'traya Kiirar, of the Elven Heartlands"My condolences on the passing of your father, your grace, he was a good man and i assure you, if we could have aided him in any way, we would have offered it freely."Age: 423 A pragmatic and somewhat ruthless woman, she has been the Elven Heartlands Ambassador to the Empire for nearly two hundred years and therefore has seen the line of succession advance several times. She is firm but understanding in her dealings with the Imperial Diplomatic corps, as above all else, the elves desire stability, especially in its largest neighbor, the Human Empire. The Old Emperor has been recorded as saying that he loved and hated to see her in his throne room, as it meant the Elven Senate desired something from him, he loved the challenge that negotiating with her brought, hated the fact she was far better at it than he was. Officially, they are allies of the throne, Despite this, the Elves remember a time when Imperial Armies marched on their borders, and therefore seem to humans are stand-offish and direct with their demands in official dealings, emigration between the two nations is severely limited, but not unheard of. Another matter of note is the fact they are technically at war with an offshoot of elves that broke away a thousand years ago to join the empire. Known now as Snow Elves, This split occurred when orcs invaded the heartlands and it was the empire who mobilized to stop them, but when they too were invaded later, the elves offered nothing more than token gestures of aid, a portion of the Elf lands that had suffered from the orc raiders denounced their leadership, even manged to assassinate one of the council members, before fleeing to the empire and offering services, unwilling to turn away help, the Emperor of the time allowed it, despite the angry noises of the elves, and when the attack had been repulsed, gifted the snow elves a portion of lands to rule as they wished, unwilling or unable to press the issue, the Heartlands allowed it, but declared all those who left as traitors and dealing with them an internal Elf matter.

Are the characters pre-set in personality for this game or do we create our own within the class? I'm happy either way, just don't want to spend time creating a personality and bio if it's meant to be pre-determined.

The classes are just an outline and guide to the history and role, the actual person is yours to generate as per usual.

Smashing, I will wait until the game is underway so as not to elicit shiny hype and see what mood I'm in to determine the personality I go with at the time

I want to get into sneaky sneak stuff, so I'll take Seneschel if I can. Need to work on subtlety that doesn't involve killing someone immediately or directly. On a side note, where did you get that map? I can see a few maps with that same logo so is it a bunch of premade maps or is it a map maker?

The map is one i've been putting together with a map maker software i bought on impulse a few years ago, so i'm still getting my head around it, but some of the expalmes of its result's have seen have been impressive.

The Seven Dwarf KingdomsA proud and honorable race, sadly divided by long grudges and subterranean wars. Despite this, the Dwarves of each of the seven kingdoms, Thimthiod, Bhughrim, Dhightaruhr, Mul Toduhr, Dughfaldir, Geghyahr and Vimtorum, nevertheless treat the surface dwellers including the Empire as trusted allies and trading partners and tactfully ignore their dealings with their rivals even as their rivals seek to undermine each other and strengthen their own holds. Historically, the Empire and the Dwarves have never entered into outright conflict, although their have been periods of tense relations, trade embargoes and political strife, for when an exterior force threatens their underground lands, the squabbling kingdoms put aside their differences and fight off the interloper with trademark stubbornness and warrior skill, backed by their odd inventions and heavy infantry formations, and once the foe is defeated, they go back to their civil war like it is a national sport. In addition to this, both empire and Dwarf kingdoms see the value of trade with etch other and that each side has many things the other lacks. Of key importance when discussing dwarf culture is their reverence for the written word, the rule of law, and honoring a promise kept. They see the destruction of a word to be a heinous crime and therefore never use paper or ink in their missives or books, for such things fade and crumble in time, and any message or meaning is lost. Instead, they use thin sheets of metal etched with acid or stone with chisels, their runic alphabet being rich in meaning and reliant on context with those around it, and even the social standing of the sender and recipient having to be factored. The History of their race is remarkably complete and open to interested scholars of all races in what was once the capital of their empire. Unusually and to the superstition of many nobles in the empire, the dwarves across the kingdoms give homage to Eclipse, the moon goddess, although it would be more accurate to say they acknowledge her power and worship her in a casual but honest way as to not cause offence, for under the mountains night rules eternal and when a tunnel collapses or there are odd noises in the dark, even a dwarf needs some assurance their is a higher power out there that is on their side.
