I didn't explicity say the town was Amplis, but it certainly could be. I was thinking it would just be a random hamlet on the fringes of the kingdom, but I'll let it be your choice.

The way you said it made it sound like it was in the capital.

I at first thought it was in some hamlet. The capital is a bit close, and an earthquake and fissure would do more damage. If it isn't in the capital or nearby, it would take some time for news to reach him. He might get the news by horse-riding express messenger before night falls again.

Is this still available to join? Been reading the whole OP, and I am loving it.

Yes, it is still open. As you can tell, we aren't very far in yet. Have you devised an idea yet for a character?
