Yo [@Mokley] I was wondering if my character could come from a city state of a distant land? The word "city state" may come off as something too civilized to be in this setting, but remember that a city state is literally one city and it's surrounding area under one flag. Of course, the city itself would still be heavily fortified and whatnot, and teeter-tottering on the brink of collapse.

Also are two dogs too much?
