[@Akayaofthemoon]  Thanks!  I like fantasy a lot too.  The biggest problem I know the plot has right off the bat is how the leaders of each house would be stupid enough to get into a situation where everyone in the continent could die if they don't get their act together.  My ideas right now are that the legend of the curse is from long enough ago that they've started to doubt that it's real and that everyone up until that point was merely being superstitious, or that they believe that if it does happen they can fight it or avert it in some way.  

[@pyroman] Yeah, that's about what I was thinking too.  I know that each house will have at least one candidate it wants to put forth, and each player will be a representative of that candidate.  I may also open an eighth spot for someone who I can trust to play one of the actual candidates.  I don't know if I want the candidates to be the leaders of the respective houses or not.

That's a really nice offer, it could very well take me a month before I'm ready to get it up so I'll let you know then if you're still interested.
