Heyo! Interested. Quick question about the setting. Is it more like the late or early medieval age? I ask for two reasons, 1. to get a better sense of technology, armors, and weapons, and 2. to understand how power is centralized in these various kingdoms.

Somewhere in between. Gunpowder doesn't exist yet. Crossbows are the newfangled knight-killing weapon, and there are rumors that the goblins have created even more devious versions of them. Plate armor exists but is very expensive, so some poorer knights still prefer to run around in things like chainmail.

[quote]Are the nobles often as powerful if not more so than the King himself? Or does the King rule above all typically and hold most of the most valuable holdings?[/quote]

Depends on the realm, but by and large the King has quite a bit of power and divine right in most given realms. There are generally a small number of nobles whose power is roughly equal to that of the king's, but the king's influence is generally vaster.

As you can see with Abagon, the Black Duchy, and Lithenia, divine right ain't always respected.

I'm back from work and you folks can expect an updated post some time tonight, along with character sheets and a summary of what I'm looking for in characters.
