How long is the book supposed to take, in-game? I had assumed it was fairly flexible and somewhat "at the speed of plot", but the students get 4gp at the start of every month from Xhokan (page 16), and with the rules requirements for wealth by level / appropriate treasure rewards, this makes me feel like it's supposed to be a specific number of months? Or am I overthinking it?

RAW and RAI and whatever else you want to offer all accepted as responses, please help me with this :)

4GP per month is exactly the amount needed for living comfortably, so that monthly stipend zeroes itself out.


I am pretty familiar with 2E, but am yet to play a PbP campaign for any significant amount of time.

Backstory:
In Rahotep's home nation of Osirion his family were peasants in a village near a small tributary of the Sphinx, growing fruits on some nobles estate. It was a meagre existance, and the work was hard but it paid enough for the bare necessities. However even that was not to last. The tributary suddenly dried up, and the nobles simply moved their plantations somewhere else. This left the farmers working there destitute, starving and desperate - desperate enough to stowaway on a ship from Sothis to Absalom docks.

The city however wasn't much easier on the family. There isn't much farmwork to be done in the city after all. Rehotep's mother and father turned to sleeping on the streets and manual labor, and after a few years, so did Rahotep himself. Sometimes, when the work dried up they went to the gilded temples in the Ascendant Court, only to be either thrown out or given scraps barely enough to feed a child.

Unlike most Aasimar, whose celestial traits appear early on during their life or even at birth, only during Rahotep's teenage years did signs of his heritage appear. Soon after instead of getting thrown out of temples as beggars he and his family were getting invites to live among the clergy of this god and that. They accepted, of course, and Rahotep started studying to become a cleric of Serenrae. The only thing he truly learned during that time however was the depths of corruption around the Starstone Cathedral.

Even so, he kept on working and studying for the good of his family, always keeping his fathers holy symbol of Horus hidden in his robes to remind himself who he is doing this for. Eventually, he managed to earn enough to buy a decent house for his aging parents and quit the clergy to enroll in the guard. His long experience in the gilded halls of the temples and his distaste towards religion quickly led him back to where he spent so much of his life, but this time to deal with the evil and corruption seeped in the district.
