I just bought Lost Kingdoms and have fallen in love with it, particularly with the empires of Lirgen and Sarkoris. I'd like to make characters with ties to these ancient dominions, but no real idea what APs they'd fit in from a literary standpoint. I have this grand vision of a young mercenary from Gundrun that travels to Brevoy and utilizes the power granted by the charter to found a New Sarkoris, aimed at allying with Mendev and taking the old homeland back, almost like a Kellid King Arthur, but I feel such a character background and goal would conflict with the kind of story Kingmaker is trying to tell. And none of the APs seem to focus on areas of the Abendego Gulf. Skull and Shackles and Serpent's Skull have some strong connections to Ghol-Gan, but I don't think they ever come near the ruins of Lirgen and Yamasa. As for Thassilon, it's got an entire set of APs dedicated to it, so honestly any character in RotRL, CotCT, SD or SS messages just fine. Any advice? Criticisms?
I'm also in love with that book. I read it thoroughly, and was really interested in all the parts, not just Thassilon and Ghol-Gan (since I'm running RotRL and I'm about to start S&S). Sarkoris especially was a blast.
Well, after that reading I couldn't help to put more and more Ghol-Gan (and a few other surprises from this book) into my sandboxified S&S. I hope my players will enjoy it too!
