 The patriarch of the family, Adrian Harra (along with his small private army), began exploring the land around the portal on the western shores of [[Immenri]].  There, they encountered the northern Orc tribes, and with a combination of strength and trade, were able to create a foothold and establish the town of [[Sefni]] (pronounced SEF-knee). The patriarch of the family, Adrian Harra (along with his small private army), began exploring the land around the portal on the western shores of [[Immenri]].  There, they encountered the northern Orc tribes, and with a combination of strength and trade, were able to create a foothold and establish the town of [[Sefni]] (pronounced SEF-knee).

-Near Sefni are the ruins of a large, ancient city that thrived in the second age before the “[[end of the world]]”.  A river runs through it, and a massive waterfall (and small lake) are adjacent.  Due to a series of unfortunate incidents soon after settlement, this ruined city is considered cursed by most of the locals.  (Some monster lairs, dungeons, and actual magical effects reinforce this notion).  While the original city’s name was “Ameland” (pronounced A-muh-lund), that name is known to only a handful of scholars, and most of the new residents simply call it “The City”.+Near Sefni are the ruins of a large, ancient city that thrived in the second age before the "[[end of the world]]".  A river runs through it, and a massive waterfall (and small lake) are adjacent.  Due to a series of unfortunate incidents soon after settlement, this ruined city is considered cursed by most of the locals.  (Some monster lairs, dungeons, and actual magical effects reinforce this notion).  While the original city’s name was "Ameland" (pronounced A-muh-lund), that name is known to only a handful of scholars, and most of the new residents simply call it "The City".

-==== Game-specific Notes ==== +
- +
-  * __**Class comments**__: +
-    * **Barbarian** -- Either a fighting style or part of a group/tribe.  If the latter, consider being from an indigenous tribe. +
-    * **Bard** -- Either self-taught or part of a group.  If the latter, you are likely a colonist. +
-    * **Cleric** -- Ideally, pick a single god.  See the page about [[religion]].  Colonists: Olympian is the most common.  The indigenous peoples worship the [[wp>Greyhawk deities]]. +
-    * **Druid** -- Colonist: Maybe affiliated with the "organized" Druids.  Indigenous: More likely to be a "lone wolf". +
-    * **Fighter** -- Can be either self-taught or from an organization.  The Sefni Army is a good choice. +
-    * **Monk** -- Likely from a group.  Probably a colonist. +
-    * **Paladin** -- See Cleric +
-    * **Ranger** -- See Druid +
-    * **Rogue** -- Organized crime is not a big thing here (but it's starting to become //something//) +
-    * **Sorcerer** -- No training needed, so you are probably self-taught. +
-    * **Warlock** -- Work with me to see who your pact is with. +
-    * **Wizard** -- Likely a colonist who studied back in "civilization". +
-  * __**Species comments**__: +
-    * **Aasimar** -- You are essentially a Human, and only an expert can tell the difference. +
-    * **Dragonborn** -- You are an outsider who has travelled a long distance to be here.  Your home region is far to the south of [[thentao|the main continent]], so this climate is //much// colder than you are accustomed to. +
-    * **Dwarf** -- While there are Dwarves on this continent, they live //far// to the east, so you are likely to be a colonist. +
-    * **Elf** -- If you are indigenous, you are "Grugach" (a "Wild" Elf).  For game purposes, this is the same as a Wood Elf. +
-      * Also, as I am still a little old school, **Drow** are impractical as a PC race.  The original description (from Gary Gygax's Module G3) says, "they dislike bright light. They will not venture forth into daylight except on the cloudiest, gloomiest days." +
-    * **Gnome** -- You are a colonist.  There are no //known// Gnomes on this continent. +
-    * **Goliath** -- You are indigenous.  You are also essentially a tall Human, and only an expert can tell the difference. +
-    * **Halfling** -- You are a colonist.  There are no //known// Halflings on this continent. +
-    * **Human** -- Anything is possible. +
-    * **Orc** -- You are //probably// indigenous, but more and more Orcs from the Main Continent are traveling the portals these days. +
-    * **Tiefling** -- You are essentially a Human, and only an expert can tell the difference.  No horns! +
-  * **Ability Scores**: Please use the Standard Array. +
-  * **Alignment**: This is not terribly important, but selecting "Evil" will make your DM unhappy.+
