I don't think you need to worry too much as a new character. I think most of the planning etc is because people are reprising existing cbaracters with histories with other players characters which have to be taken into consideration.

I have opted to have my character as a new arrival so I can learn with him about Scarburg as we go... however since I have used him elsewhere I just like to tie up his history for my own satisfaction.

I have been working on some back story myself since I took a partially developed character from a past storyline and fit her in since the timeline and general geographic area (Greater Rohan) area is the same.

Might as well include Harreld and Garreth as my characters, you all know I'll end up writing for them. :P

What all are we waiting on at this point?

Firefoot · 06-28-2015, 05:35 PM

Inzil - I've had Leof approach Ladavan.

If any of you others with characters with horses would like your character to overhear and jump in, feel free.

Firefoot, he's answered. It helps that Ladavan and I are equally strange to the Meadhall. Cluelessness is not always easy to imitate.

By the way, I was referencing Folwren's post here concerning the layout of the hall. Since Nogrod made mention of a woodworking shop, and I figure Harreld and Garreth had a real smithy by this point, I made reference of those buildings as well - I imagine them somewhere on the right side of the map.

This map is also quite useful, I think.

Inzil - Leof already introduced himself.

Inziladun · 07-01-2015, 01:29 PM

It's been that kind of week (or three). Thanks.

(I have been busy and slacking and forgetful, but I'll write something for all my characters during the remainder of this week, pinky promise!)
