It's here, it's finally here. The long-anticipated (at least two of us have been anticipating this for a long time) Ember's Wake is here!
This thread will be set in Ember approximately three years after the events of Grain of Sand. Although A Grain of Sand was supposed to be over (it's far from that), we'll have to base any references to the events of A Grain of Sand by estimates and hypothetical postulations. Yes, we have to guess. Historical inaccuracies will be corrected later.
We need to know the members of this before we really start, so if you would, please post your character's bio or a link to their bio (link, preferably) in this thread.
Here's what's going on. As posted earlier in the Countdown thread:
Here's a few last updates that you'll need to know.
Talaveral can not trust the Brutes, so he has set up a personal guard of his own known as the Ignis Guard. They're loyal to Talaveral, well trained, and extremely cruel. Aggravatingly cruel, in fact. As we open, they'll be staging a "purge" of a medioriche part of town (a less loyal medioriche sector). What they don't realize is who the local sword smith is. This area of town around the time of the "purge" is available as a starting place for players.
The other opening scene is the Hammer and Anvil. A rather depressed and drunk Borkeau waits for the dreaded announcement of the formal disintegration of the Brutes. The Hammer and Anvil is an upper-class bar with lots of gambling and drinking. Although the bar is pretty clean with few bar fights, shady characters still like to visit the place since it's one of the few taverns still free from the prying ears of Talaveral. This is the other opening scene for players to join.
If you would like to start somewhere else, please post the character and a description of the special circumstances you propose. We will be quite happy to hear your proposals.
Now, without further ado, let the sign-ups begin.
