I sure was.

 After work tonight I'm going to try to get Kain done, then by tomorrow we'll just be waiting on a few more people before we get rolling. I'd like to have around 10 people before we get things started. If everyone who expressed interest in here so far commits, we'll already have 7. Once the OOC goes up i'll go into greater details about the current events unfolding in the Five Kingdoms, then from there you can choose where you want your character(s) to start.

I've already decided I'll allow players to have up to three characters, although I strongly recommend you only create one to start with. Once things get rolling and we get comfortable you can make more as you deem fit. Also, if you elect to make more than one character I expect you to be able to keep up with all of your characters and flesh them out. Quality over quantity. Also, PLEASE don't do that thing where people have their own characters group up but ignore everyone else, I hate that. Try to keep the characters you create separate from one another.

I also added a small info update: 

"However, in light of the Valerian rebellion, The Archmage of Ferros has withdrawn from the tower, and Ferros has ceased sending potential candidates to the tower believing that the Circle of Magi favors their Valean hosts, and are unwilling to send their own people into potentially hostile lands. The Ferronian Archmage's withdrawal has hindered Ferronian - Vallean relations, with Ferronian leadership citing young mages graduating from the Tower have been pledging loyalty to Valean efforts at a staggering rate, leading Ferros to believe the Tower has begun to pick sides."

If you've already read the section concerning Mages of the Tower, you'll know that mages from all the kingdoms are sent there to train them in the proper handling of magic. Mages who choose to sweat fealty to the tower are taught Mystos and abandon all loyalties outside of the tower (in practice), but Mages who return to there homelands often choose to swear feality to thier leige lords for a chance of a better life. 

 Well Ferros has stopped sending potential mages to the Tower for various reasons that will be discussed in the RP.
