I'm planning on a clan with a helping of foreign influence, not too dissimilar to [@gorgenmast]. Maybe that of a culture under Salished rule; who knows?

I guess we ought to decide, as a group, how homogeneous or diverse the culture of the Broken Isles is.

I think as people come up with their NSes, diversity is to be expected, but I would like people to then work together towards building a setting that meshes and makes sense in a shared world/confederation. Strategic retconning to that end is therefore encouraged. You having a clan with foreign influence is more than fine- put together an NS and then we'll work backwards to figure out how to smoosh everything together, make sense? But I'd like everyone to look for ways to integrate others' creations into their histories. 

[@Letter Bee] accepted! with the caveat that I'm still thinking thru the map situation, but will let you know.

[@gorgenmast] accepted! Note that the High King's palace is no longer called the Fanghall, I'm stealing that for my faction. Feel free to come up with a new name for the High King's palace!
