Over a Mug of Ale [For A Better Age]

That would certainly cause less confusion on who is in which group (like I had before I deleted my other post)


Also, I would suggest to the group that when posting, put your character's name up at the top of the page. This saves confusion, especially when dealing with multiple games where you sometimes see the same people with different characters.
 
People from the Gethamane group might want to delete/edit out your posts and copy them over to the Gethamane page. As soon as that's done, I'm gonna toss in Calypso's introduction.
 
I agree that splitting the two groups into seperate posts for this is best. So I created two seperate threads one for those with the Fangs of the Gale, and another for those from Gethamane (and those who hooked up with them).


I plan on getting some posts up tomarrow. Today has just been much more busy then I originally planned.
 
MorkaisChosen: I'm going to drop a little conflict between Bjarn and Four Food. On my end I'll be using it to do a bit of character building in contrast.
 
He has dropped many hints that he's not human, but just disguised as one. I'd say the other Exalts would know he's a DK, especially with his drive to try and restore the Pterok back to civilization along with helping out the North in general.
 
Just a warning: I have unknown internet status for the next five days. I might be able to post regularly, maybe not at all, I'm really not sure. I should've brought this up in advance but I wasn't aware that it was a possibility until recently, so...


Just a warning. I SHOULD have internet access, but it's an unknown factor.
 
Do you know, you may be right. Now we just need to see if anyone's got a city lying around that we could make use of. Might you know anything about that? :P
 
I'm sorry to come up with this now but.


What do our characters know?


So far I've reading conversations and going into them I'm trying to figure out how much world knowledge is out there.


Solar knowledge fair enough up to each individual since we have the previous memories Lytek forgot to scrub off.


Do we know the scarlet empress is missing, I was sure that was top secret need to know realm knowledge, Abyssal Infernals?


Deathlords, Rakshasa?


Wyld barbarians is a given but a lot of this other stuff is meant to be pretty secret.


I'm just having a little trouble placing the fence on what is and isn't known about the world of exalted from my characters point.


I mean I know where the scarlet Empress is and what's going on but I doubt Jorik does.
 
It partly depends on characters. I'm assuming some knowledge of what a Solar's like and not too much else for Bjarn, seeing as I didn't give him any Lore...
 
I figure it depends on Lore, but even without it, it could be common knowledge. The Realm had to appoint a minister in her stead, remember.
 
I thout the whole point was that the empress had organised it that the whole system was organised that it wouldn't be noticed if she went missing. Which she does at times.


No minister was assigned he was just he right hand man and is a place holder while the houses work out who is going to be in charge next.


The point was while the throne is empty don't make the realm look weak by letting that get out.
 
Some knowledge is going to be individually based. Such as Asyk’s firsthand experience with the First Age and Contagion.


I figure virtually everyone knows the Scarlet Empress is gone (though of course not where). The fact that the Realm has not been functioning well without central and decisive leadership is why the Realm is having so much trouble right now, and is one of the reasons why the Solar’s and other Exalted such as the Bull of the North are making major progress (a neglected Wyld Hunt, the Legions being pulled back to the Realm for possible civil war).


The Realm was designed to continue to function…for a short period of time…without her. Fundamentally in the long term the Realm was not designed to function without the Empress running it. After a year the bureaucrats were basically breaking down the doors to see the Empress because there were matters that needed her attending. The Realm I believe is trying to maintain the appearance that everything is honky-dorry, but the growing chaos in Threshold and the lack of interest from the Realm in matters that do not pertain to the regular shipments of tribute speak otherwise. Also the Bull’s defeat of the Legions pretty much shattered the Realm’s image at least in the immediate short term. At least that’s my impression from the fluff.


I figure for the Deathlords and Abyssals characters might have extremely basic information. The Deathlords are apparently extremely powerful ghosts who have major influence and power in the Underworld and many shadowlands, and the Deathknights seem to be their powerful servants. Also the fall of Thorns and other acts do not speak well of their intentions. Rumors of the Abyssals Exalted level power would be pretty widespread by this point. But the knowledge that they are corrupted Solar shards I wouldn’t think is widespread.


Given the major threat they pose to the North the semi-regular interactions they have with places such as Whitewall, I figure most people have at least a basic knowledge of the Fair Folk. I imagine stories and warnings about the Fair Folk are pretty widespread. Though specific knowledge would probably depend on each individual’s experiences and background.


Everyone would be pretty familiar with different groups of Wyld barbarians.


Any other areas anyone wants clarification or information?
 
I'm assuming that the two prologues aren't necessarily happening concurrently. By which I mean the characters in 1 can wander over hill and dale for a season or two and meet up with the others if they decide to do crazy stuff later that night. That work for everybody?
 
I think that should be a pretty safe assumption.


Since the prologues are just to give each a way to tie in to each character.


The real story, I guess, is going to start once we are all together and have found the city we want to work on.


:)
 
I certainly didn’t have any plans for the prolongs to be at the same time. So I see no problems if people want to build up those additional connections.
 
I'm guessing Prologue 1 is going to wait on Archivist to see what happens of our various explorations through the lands?
 
Am I to assume from Tableface's latest post that Bjarn's cousin's struck a deal with a Deathlord?*


* Don't actually answer that question, not knowing's half the fun... :D
