Welcome Aristo, welcome! As SM, I'd like be the first to say that your entry into our growing circle would honor us 8). As for the story, it isn't simply Valania's struggle; it's Sarife's struggle too! That being said, it's certainly plausible your character could have retained Vectis, Ivalian, or Vorstian lineage or trained and lived in any nation, however a primarily Vectisian, Vorstan, or Ivalian character would seem out of place. I'd like to make a request that you keep heavy Valanian and/or Sarifen lineage and backhistory set in Valania or Sarife. If you have any questions regarding character drafts, PM something my way and we'll work something out!
