[@Vertigo] Hmm... I forgot about Kenku. I might have to say no to that; I intend for this to be high/medium roleplay. Not every conversation needs to end in a quest - and not every battle will end by killing or subduing all of the enemies. Their lack of voice might make this difficult for you. I want to stay true to the lore, but if you are dead set on the Kenku, then we can discuss it, or come up with an alternative (such as a raven-themed aarakocra with some kenku traits).

[@The Harbinger of Ferocity] I understand your concern about letting the others play; however, I would still like you to make a formal application if you're agreeable. You were, after all, the fourth person to express interest. Honestly, I didn't expect that much interest; the fact that [i]eleven of you[/i] decided that my [i]unoriginal[/i] story, from a poorly-experienced DM, was worth applying to, has made me really happy. So... thanks, all.
