Interested, though I admit I'm not sure how I'd even start a character. But, all the information is very detailed and I can see the effort put into this and I'd love to see it flourish.

Well, that was a read. Okay, I'll begin working on something, but this will take me a little while to complete.

@Dead Cruiser Hm... I've got a few questions to ask, to see if my character concept would fit in this world.

Is it possible that someone could use magic via a lost artifact, instead of having learned it before? Naturally they'd need to practice it to wield it properly, but their magical prowess doesn't come from themselves. It comes from an object they wield.

Second question might be a bit strange. Would an artifact like a gauntlet, which is imbued by magic, be able to replace a lost hand? Or just magical artifacts acting as replacement limbs in general.

Third, are hidden temples a thing? Because I would have had a temple be discovered by my character, where he discovered the artifact mentioned in 1 and 2.

Fourth. If there were to be a gem with inherent power of some kind, would they be able to shift the user's personality? And would a person be able to wield multiple of such gems, each having a different effect on said personality?

Fifth, would someone be forced to retire from the military of Thule if they were no longer suited for combat? And at how young of an age could one enlist in said military?

If to any of the above you answer 'no' I might need to change my concept slightly (or drastically) but I feel like these need to be answered in order for this to work. I might have more questions, but I can't think of any at the moment.

First off, I would like to compliment you on your work with the detailed backstory and the world that you have built. It is very good, and it was a pleasure to read both the backstory in the first post as well as the descriptions in the glossary.

Second, I'm obviously interested in participating (if I wasn't I probably wouldn't be posting, would I?).

And thirdly, my first question is how long magic has been around. The lore provided so far states that it has returned and is present at the start of the RP, which I'm guessing will be year 56 of the Age of Dawn. I guess what I'm wondering is if the magic returned during the Years of Dusk, somewhere around the transition into the Age of Dawn, or just a few years back? I have a character idea in mind(two actually if that is allowed), and how long magic has been around will obviously influence the degree of mastery that the character has.

There will likely be more questions in due time, but that is all for now.

How advanced is technology? How compatible is technology with magic/alchemy? What's the difference between science/magic/alchemy? Is it easy to learn all three systems, or does one have to choose one or the other?

@Dead Cruiser

Would a character with (admittedly rather heavy) Napoleonic influences be acceptable?

@Dead Cruiser Yeah, I can work with that. Thanks for clearing all of that up.

Hi there, still interested in this but I'm having a bit of an issue with my ISP and gonna be busy with work till about Sunday so if I don't drop my character, well, that's why. I'd rather be able to focus and get it done right.

As promised, I came up with a few more questions, I hope you don't mind. They are all questions concerning the various mentions of Gods in the Glossary,

1. Am I correct in my understanding that the Old Gods, the Dead Gods, and the Dark Gods of the North are three separate groups of mystical beings, and that all three walked the earth in the Age of Myths, at least according to lore and legends available at the time of the start?

2. Am I also correct in my understanding that the Dead Gods were the worst of the lot, the Dark Gods slightly less malicious, and the Old Gods were the good guys, or at least not the evil guys(yes there is technically a difference between being good and just being "not evil", being not evil doesn't stop them from being neutral, indifferent towards mankind, or something of the kind)?

3. In the glossary, it says that the individual identities of the Old Gods has been forgotten, and that the worship of these has be replaced in all parts of the known world. Is it the same way with the identities of the Dead and Dark Gods? There is mention of worshiper for both of these two groups, but it doesn't say if they worship the whole collective group of the gods, or if each sect/cult/order worships a specific being among their ranks.

4. Regarding the identities and worship of the Old Gods, is the loss of all information and worship an absolute fact, or is it that all knowledge and open worship among the general public has disappeared? I guess what I'm asking is: Could there exist a secret/hidden quasi-religious order that worships either the Old Gods as a collective, or one god in particular?

5. When you say that the individual identities of the gods has been forgotten, does it mean that we as players don't know but you as the GM knows, or is it intended as an opening for us to come up with entities that fit with the backstories of our characters if the need arises, with your approval of course. After all, the plot/lore is yours.

So I might have come up with a few more questions than I started with, but I figure it is better to ask questions first instead of having to change stuff later because some things might not work with the lore.

As I write more and more of my signup sheet I come to the realization that I might not be able to keep up with this after all.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to play this as it looks... Well, fantastic. But I can't see myself finding the time to dedicate to this RP. If I were in less others I might've been able to, but not in the current situation.

In any case, I really hope this flourishes. It's clear you put a lot of effort into this. I hope it succeeds for you, @Dead Cruiser.

@Dead Cruiser Best of luck to you too.

Would you be cool with someone playing an Orc Warlord wandering around PILLAGING AND BURNING THE COUNTRYSIDE with a tribe of 100 people or so?

Heavily interested, I don't quite have any questions yet that I didn't see answered in the glossary section. In all likelihood I'll have a character up tonight.

<Snipped quote by mpcommander>

The fact that there are no Orcs in this setting aside, we've had a barbarian warlord sort of character in each other incarnation of Age of Dawn.

Okie doke, I'll be sure to make a Warlord Character whenever the OOC thread pops up.
