Welcome, Lommy.

Just a couple things.

Anguirel is already writing a Dunlending outcast. And there are a lot of other outcasts already on this thread. Please come up with an alternative, as that particular background choice is getting a little over-used. I could suggest a couple other ideas, and the other players would be more than happy to share ideas they may have, if you like, I'm sure.

A female character would be fine, but I'd really appreciate it if you could avoid a noblewoman or poverty stricken or runaway, as those two things are already in the Eorling mead hall twice each. I realize I'm asking you to be creative, but hey, that's what this is about, eh?

I suppose a Dunlending would still be okay, but not a runaway or outcast, or former one of these. You could take your lead from Anguirel, who has decided to go with a Celtic rootedness for Dunlendings, which I think is a very believable conjecture.

The Rohirrim are to the Dunlendings as conquerors and victorious invaders and controllers of recently lost land. So there is animosity on both sides towards each other, since the Rohirrim believe that they only invaded Dunland to rid themselves of those who had invaded them in the first place.

And I promise I won't start discussing with Nogrod in this inn..

Hmmm.... some kind of background I don't know about, apparently. Care to enlighten?
