On my lunch right now, but I'll try to answer your questions to best of my abilities with the time I've got.

Great, that all also helps :) Currently my character total is looking to be maybe 3; two female and one male. Just because that's the amount of ideas I have. Another question this time about age. I was wondering what the minimum age would be? I have a character who I want to probably be a blacksmith apprentice so she would be in her late teens. That possible?

3 characters you say? I can't [i]wait[/i] for their debut! Regarding adolescent characters, as long as she's in her late adolescence, I'm perfectly fine with her inclusion, but anything below adolescent is a no go and my reasoning stems from the fact that I don't believe an all adolescent cast would fit the story or prove skillful enough for survival.

Has there been political unrest in Sarifen in the past? I wish to make an exiled prince that's stooped as low as to commit banditry after being unable to hold lands, a la Babur.

The Sarifen Courts within Orad (Sarife's capital) are generally more stable than Valania, however, there is growing discontent and immense frustration between Prince Bahramesh II and influential members of the aristocracy regarding Emperor Aryanpur I's iron fisted rule. Sarife's economy is buckling given that there are: widespread famines, economic mismanagement, refusal to disband the colossal, standing army (close to 3 million conscripted warriors at its present condition), prevalent feudalistic way of life, and delayed reforms. PM me, Peik, and we'll work something out 8)
