[@Abstract Proxy] Accepted! Feel free to toss her over into the Characters tab.

For everyone who's been accepted so far, please feel free to post in the IC tab what your characters have been doing during the caravan trip before the first GM post. Interact with each if you'd like! This is completely optional

Some guidelines:

[list][*]At a standard pace, the caravan is expected to take at least a [b]3 days[/b] from its departure from Guanyo, which is a fortress town and an Imperial supply point before reaching the northern edge of the northern provinces where Ssanjuu is located.
[*]Normally the trip between Guanyo and Ssanjuu would take about a day. However, unnatural magicks have caused increasingly turbulent rains and snowstorms to plague the land. Detachments of imperial mages have been sent ahead to establish waypoints and safe paths free from storms - or at least lessening their impact.
[*] [b]The first GM post[/b] will take place around [b]midday of day 2[/b].
[*]The convoy officially formed in the capital city of Bei Taiyang under the caravan master Chungho Pan. Pan was a former army officer under the old nation of Wei, and has a generally good and honest reputation. The convoy has been winding through Beinan heading north buying critical relief goods from the more prosperous central towns with official Imperial credit. Many other merchants and travelers have taken part and dropped off from the convoy during its travel time
[*]The total caravan time was expected to take about a month and a half from Bei Taiyang to Ssanjuu.
[*]The convoy currently as it left Guanyo is decent mid-sized with 23 wagons. One wagon is staffed and zealously guarded by an Imperial patrol of 5 along with an Imperial witch-artificer. [b]All have been warned that any attempt to look inside the wagon will be met severe punishment[/b] as determined by the Patrol Leader. Otherwise they're fairly nice people, all six veterans from the Great Unification.[/list]
