It definitely seems like the majority of you are more interested in living through the active decline, rather than picking over ruins.

However to preserve as much plausible mystery in the plotlines, I will most likely look towards characters who hail from neighboring lands or at the very least from small towns/villages/communities within Vassidia that affords little familiarity with any of the major cities. A character who has spent most of their life in a city and among its people may end up becoming a wrinkle for some of the plots.

That said, at least one of you has already approached me with some concepts already, and there haven't been any real issues thusfar, and I am always willing to work with people to find suitable solutions.
