Thanks very much
Bb for bringing us back to the appropriate language here. Think of me as an administrator everyone. The world, relationships, culture, history, everything Pashtian is up to
US to explore and discover as the game unfolds.
To that end -- let's do as much of that as we can as the game goes along, rather than here in the DT, either before the game begins or once it is underway. Again, let me cite the Inns as the best example: there are not DTs for the Inns, so all developments are accomplished through the game interaction itself. If there's something you want to do that directly impacts another character, check via PM first. But if it's anything else, just do it and we can all adjust/react to that.
For my part then -- not weighing in at all on why, how, where, the relations or implications of the marriage to Bekah -- I will state simply that Faroz is 42. I will also cite a relevant passage from the "Customs and Manners":
Quote:

Their last war lasted nearly ten years and cost the lives of thousands upon both sides. It was finally ended when the Kings of Alanzia and Pashtia agreed to marry their children.

So it would appear that Faroz was not King when he was married to Bekah and the war was ended. As the children of that union would appear to be in their early twenties, then I can only surmise that Faroz and Bekah have been married for 25 years, making Faroz 17 at the time of their marriage. Hmmm. . .I wonder if he fought in the war directly -- perhaps
WHEN THE GAME BEGINS his general or his Queen will clear this up for me. . .
Delighted by the enthusiasm, but let's try to keep a lid on it for a bit. I really do want the creativity to take place
IN THE GAME THREAD.
More Gentle Nudging -- if
Oro and
Aman could be persuaded to give us character descriptions, perhaps I can open the Game Thread sooner than planned and "let loose the dogs of Rohan".
One More Parting Word -- Remember, approach the game as you would gaming at the Inns. Create your characters in the game threads, introduce new plot twists at every opportunity, develop relationships with other characters in the game. . .in brief, embark upon the story with an eye to discovery. Remember how Tolkien wrote
LotR, and "discovered" Strider was a Man, and then had to figure out what he was to the Ring?
