We have transitioned to the new forums . Please use them in place of the old forums, which are now read only. (The old forums were moved again, due to me getting naeldor.com onto its own server). Something in the server change made the old forums read only (you'll get an error if you try to sign in). I've tried unsuccessfully to fix it, but since we were moving to new forums anyway, I have given up those efforts.
If it helps you plan a character concept, the kernel of the plot idea in my head involves whisperings and rumors of a great prophet that has emerged in the mountains, traveling the peaks among the villages and keeps. Use it or don't use it in your character idea, as you see fit, and also remember that there is a chance it could change.
Players will start with all new characters, most likely at level 1. Keep that in mind when developing your character background (e.g. it is unlikely that a level 1 character would be a famous warrior with his own keep and army, etc.).
