-What is the Borklein's opinion on religion? I know you said the Ainedal kingdom has no state religion and that the commonwealth's religion depends on the region but would there be a reason for there to be religious tension of any sort with the Borklein from any groups of people?[/quote]

For a majority of Ainedal's population, the Borklein would be seen as heretics or at the very least extremely misguided.  The Borklein tend to be very pagan with different rituals and a variety of gods.  Even for people from the commonwealth who tend to be quite open with who worships what the Borklein can be rather too cultist for their tastes.

-What is the Civil situation in the Borklein Kingdom itself? Part of me was considering playing a Borklein rebel or exiled noble but thinking back to it, since Ainedal got stomped hard there probably isn't much unrest there huh? Maybe unrest from the sudden surprise war?[/quote]

The Borklein kingdom was rather lucky to get some inside information and a traitor on the inside so they quickly took advantage of the situation to increase their territory and wealth.  Of course certain nobles perhaps got a bit more than their fair share during the conquest which could create some animosity among the factions.  The Borklein also used a 'criminal' army during the conquest, people who had been arrested for crimes but were given the chance to win their freedom in combat.

-What is Borklein's military culture like? I want to ask more questions about their military but I'll hold off and instead just ask do they have a heavy focus on espionage and information warfare or was the spy fortress thing a special even for them?[/quote]

The spy inside was a lucky break on their part, not to say they don't have spys and espionage themselves, which is what lead them to the lucky break in the first place.  Their information network isn't the most robust though as is mostly present in just their nearest neighbors lands.

-Would it be possible to create a group/squad to come along with our characters? For example, a mercenary being part of a small band, a crusader having members from his order, or an exiled noble with her household retainers? If yes, since the military strength at the beginning would be lacking would the group be limited to a dozen or less?[/quote]

This was one of the main things I have been mulling over in my character sheet actually.  After some thinking I will be adding a 'military strength' section where you can put in their manpower such as a mercenary band, retainers etc.  Of course I don't want a huge group to swing things instantly over so about twenty men max, but I expect closer to ten or less for most.

-Can we play Borklein rebels or Lancor Volunteers?
[/quote]

Lancor Volunteers should be fine, as for Broklein rebels...maybe?  I'll be a harsher judge on such characters but I'll leave it open to possibility.

I'll be adding the character sheet to the first post in a bit.
