Cormyr The Forest Kingdom
(Inactive)
Game Master
Critzible
The lush land of the Purple Dragon, seems welcoming and peaceful but under all the peaceful veneer are opportunistic nobles, Sneaking Sembians, Red Wizards seeking footholds, Zhents seeking to pull down the nation and much much more. Add in the War Wizards and Purple Dragons it is a land of intrigue and mystery.

Maybe you can teach Terion one thing or three about using a shield.

If you want to look into COrmyr and its nobility I encourage it. Foppish would be interesting as the Neighboring Sembia is an Oligarchy with Merchant Princes and Marsember the CIty of SPices thinks itself too good for Suzail and the rest of COrmyr. Thus think they are superior.
Nobles are either, Well Established Families, often bestowed by the King, sometimes former heroes, or powerful merchants or sages. Names use Chondathan, And the kingdom is very King Arthurs Court in elements. Cormyrean nobles be them lesser or greater often heavily int intrigue. THough this is the average noble.
You could be a member of a new noble house, one that is part of Marsembers ever-growing Merchant class, be them shipwrights, Spice Merchants, possibly fishermen or even other possibilities like your grandfather was an adventurer, or even a Naval Captain and was given holdings in Marsember by the King for heroic services.
I like the idea of my grandfather having been a former naval captain, given holdings in Marsember for services rendered, like you suggested. Lets go with that!

Okay tomorrow I will post an Intro, but we can still hammer out some adventuring group backgrounds. Nothing too in depth, but enough of one.

So the Lord is Herrod Firedrop a lesser noble, with a huge portfolio of jewelers, bankers and Mines through out COrmyr and the Dragonmere. You as a group managed to save his daughter and the caravan from Marsember to Suzail. It was a group of hired bandits by Fireknives.
You were given money By Lord Firedrop to pay for an official Charter, but were then tasked by the War WIzard Lemont the Long to seek out the Huanted Halls of Eveningstar on behalf of the War Wizards.
Ok, it is time I create an alias.
What is the name of Lord Herrod Firedrop's daughter? And did Terion have some sort of rapport with her?
Hommlet
Lynessia Firedrop: age 18, dishwater blonde, green eyes, She has a beautiful face, except for a large nose that has been broken a couple of times. Eldest Daughter of Herrod, from his first marriage.
I have an alias now. And I can already imagine Teryon reminiscing about Lynessia over a glass of red wine.
1 person marked this as a favorite.

If it's still cool, id still like to get in on this game. i think tomorrow i should be able to finish up my character and create a new profile/avatar for her.
Teryon would enjoy visiting the Lonesome Tankard Inn, but his wallet will probably not allow it, so... I would suggest perhaps the Carpenters Shop and Rooming House owned by Roarel Olff?

Greetings adventurers! Just a quick note to let you know the family and I are taking some Summer vacation starting this evening.

I'm back. I see we've not advanced in my absence.
What's the plan?
Hommlet
I'm thinking of putting this on the back burner

The sad truth is I think I rushed into this faster than I had wanted to. Also, I have been looking for another player to fill in for Rizz and haven't gotten one yet. So I am gonna delay this for maybe a couple of months and start it again. Especially with better notes
I am sorry to hear it, but I understand. Personally I prefer starting with a MUCH lesser scale, at village level, and then take it from there. Makes things more manageable and you can build it in layers. As players explore, you add more and more. That is one of the good things about PbP, you always have time to check and read before you have to post anything :)

DM, can you go ahead and set this campaign to inactive then please?
Hommlet
I thought I had. Before I go I'm am working on a rework of the campaign so I will probably in a few months have a more detailed World Doc.
