[@Partisan] What are your thoughts on an assassin for a character? I have one patterned out after Vlad Taltos of the Draegara series, however I'm unsure what the use of an assassin could be in your setting or if it's even allowed. What do you think? :D

I am... generally against assasins. The assasin type that you are most likely going for (I have NO idea who Vlad Taltos is) is the sneaky, stealthy, swordmaster who can do insane amounts of crazy stealthkills and escape any situation?

While these could appear in the Falkhalls (the desert-ish area, red sand, beautiful beaches, lots of sailors) in a less-awesome, more realistic version, the Whitelands is not really the right place for them. Whitelands feature mostly norse men, harsh environments and direct challenges. Assassins are seen as low, and if anyone finds out you used one you'd probably be shunned by everyone. 

I'm not sure who Vlad is as I said so if that's not the type, then feel free to explain here or in PM what you're going for. :P

Also I'm not sure about the use in the plot, given that we'd be going for a lot of political drama and military shit, large armies fighting eachother (well, I say large, but ''large'' is 1500-2000 men per side in this region) and an assassin would fall into negligence in all this. Ofcourse that adds extra challenges if we find a way to make him work!

[@Valhalla] I am impressed. I like the added touch of the appearance section.. I might have to steal that from you and put it in the base skeleton. So far so good, I like that she's a bastard but I wonder if this is known, and what the relations are compared between her and her half brothers? Bastards are always a bit shabby, especially since they can revolt and press a non existant claim on the throne in some cases.
