[@Manticore] Great! Questions: When the RP begins, have the four kingdoms been rebuilt already or are they in the process? For how long has my character had the Stone?

No, they weren't fully rebuilt yet, and I'd say the Knights only had their stones for about a year or two. Basically, they would still prefer to continue to own the stones as they proved to be somehow helpful in the rebuilding process. The question is, are they still owning the stones or are the stones really beginning to own them? Eaither way, this could be a source of conflict in the group. 

Any more questions? Now is the time :) I know there are a few more things I need to explain in more detail. Like the Hellhounds, the Witch's other accomplices who will cross our paths, and so on, but I intend to do that in the IC with my Sorceress, who happens to be a bucket of knowledge.
