Hahaha, worry not. I was going to try pinging people again for the OOC, might just end up sending PMs instead. Just gonna be a little irritating due to the 5 person max. Will you be joining us my dear?

I sent (or tried to send) both of you PM's, but like, every time I hit send it does something weird and I am not sure if they went through...sooo let me know if you didn't get them.


And they can start being claimed by 18 and they usually stop being desierable as brides by age 25/26. But in theroy, everyone is fair game until they are like...thirty or something. I DON'T KNOW A CAP AGE NEVER CAME UP IN PLANNING!

True, age cap never really did come up did it. Which is why I put the range the way I did. In terms of selecting a new bride, it is incredibly rare for a Gem to be picked past 25 or 26 like Ellion said. That is considered their 'peak' by Drakkan males... It is also believed (whether this is true or not though...) that the older a Gem woman is when she is taken, the less likely she will survive the pregnancy... Or that her mental stability will deteriorate faster due to their having longer lengths of time to grow used to their homeland before being ripped from it.

That being said, the age of a Gem character that is an already established bride may be older than this to match the length of time she would have been living with them using the above information as a reference point.

So, a couple of things.

One... I tried. I really did, I swear I did. When I found out that I had dreamt up the map we used for a previous iteration, I was going to make up one specifically for this one. I have given up on that, it was driving me up a wall, and I'm too much of a perfectionist... We wouldn't be starting until next month easily if I had continued down this path... So instead, I have settled with the close enough approach where I found artwork from Dr. Google and pair it with written additions. 

Two: OOC is almost complete. I am attempting to sort through and edit some of the lore we had compiled over the last three runs. This includes more cultural aspects as well as the creation story and various gods known to these people. Figured it might be slightly important. Just taking me a hot minute to sort through. Please be patient with me. T^T

Aaaand Three: So Ellion has appeared to have run into some minor computer troubles. We'll see when they get fixed as it is a work in progress. Could even be fixed by the time I finish writing this message (WHICH WOULD BE GREAT!!!) If that is not the case, please be patient in regards to any responses she might have had to any of your questions. If such question you deem a little more urgent, feel free to send them to me as well and I will get to you as soon as possible....

That also includes the people who have sent me some messages already. That is next on my to-do list tonight.... I don't think I have enough coffee for all of this... Maybe I'll try some tea instead. Hahaha
