Hip Hip Huzzah! The characters are done, the characters are done!!

To answer your question Nova: no, no more bios or histories or anything. Let's save all that sort of thing for the game thread, and let's allow it to happen there. Let's find out who we all are through the process of writing to each other.

For example, I've just found out that Faroz's father was a philanderer! For Tarkan to be the younger half-brother, well, it's clear that the former King was up to some extra-curricular activity since Pashtia is a monogamous society. Add to this that the former King obviously took care of his bastard son, elevating him to nothing less than the level of the high priest. . .!!!

I really do wonder how Tarkan and Faroz will get along? Perhaps they can speak for a bit at the dinner and we'll find out.

Remember everyone. . .the Inns, the Inns, the Inns!!!

Note About First Posts: It has come to my attention that in a game which is supposed to be wide open, I have been a bit too, shall we say, programmatic in my dictation of the first posts and what they should be about. This is quite right, and I apologise, so allow me to ammend -- Faroz concludes his audience with the Emissary by announcing that there will be a sumptuous banquet that night to honour his arrival. Feel free to begin writing your first posts at any point, then, between the interview with the Emissary (perhaps even during it) up to and perhaps including the start of the banquet.

As this might mean that the first posts will cover some different stretches of time, you can post them to the DT or PM them to me and I will put them in the game thread in a logical order when I open it on Wednesday morning. So if you want to write a post now go ahead and put it here, but you don't have to do that -- if you'd rather wait until Wednesday and see what all is going on before you begin, then that's fine too.

Just 42 hours left (more or less)!
