I will post a character sheet of your guys instructor so that you can get a glimpse.

I'll add rules and explain how magic works tomorrow sometime.

Feel free to ask questions about the world, dragons, politics.

Imagine the setting somewhere around Medevil Europe before guns. Blackpowder exists, though is extremely rare and imported from the far east. Real world cultures and religions will likely be mirrored, but changed to fit the setting. Think Roman/Greek style deities being prevalent in the area.
