Oh, well I didn't know that. That solves the issue of not having seen the necessary/useful information from the Compendium; I'll need to know more about this wolflike race of yours (for them to come from the west or south would be feasible, although which direction is more likely would probably depend on their culture more than anything else), but generally speaking if you have the desire and knowledge to participate, you're welcome to submit a character for review.

As for removing Syn's character from the roster and updating the number of free spaces displayed in the OP (not that I see any particular urgency in the matter, unless we suddenly saw a huge increase in interest from new players) I was pretty much just waiting for some final and certain confirmation that he had indeed dropped out. His absence alone is about enough, though... I'll keep it in mind and do what has to be done when I feel the time is right.
