You gotta @Mention me.

@Another Movie Addict: No, it's fine.
Unless you come up with stuff you wanna add or change.

I mostly said that to make sure we're not waiting on eachother when one of us might not have anything they want to add at that moment.

@Saeyra:
@Another Movie Addict:

I'm generally gonna wait for each of you guys to reply to stuff at least once before moving on with anything happening.
So if either of you have nothing you wanna roleplay or do, please reply to the main thread with a 'turn pass' of sorts.

It would be really nice if you could come up with some kind of character roleplay though.
Like, even if you don't want your character to say or do something, maybe write out a little bit of what's on their mind at the moment, how they feel, or maybe a specific expression or body posture they're making.

As Rosemary scans the area ahead for would-be thieves that might take back her hard earned coin, she spots a figure in a dark cloak moving quietly through the rain on the skybridge ahead. It seems to be avoiding the dim pools of light cast by the Everbright Lanterns, preferring to stay in the shadows. A commons tactic that Rosemary knew all too well.

Lightning flashes and she sees a shape laying upon the stone floor of the bridge during the brief illumination. The figure quickens their pace, the opening in their cloak hood turning back to glance upon Rosemary and Astrinos before slipping over the barrier of the bridge, into the darkness and rain.




Trudging through nature's downpour onto Sharn, Astrinos can see and admire another aspect of nature around them in Skysedge park.
It was named exactly as it was, because it certainly was a park. Greenery and flowerbeds abounded in this area of the central district. One of the few places in Sharn to contain so much of nature itself.
Most of the city was grays, clay reds, and wood beam browns, but here was an abundance of natural color. It's just too bad he had to see it in a storm.

1002YK, Olarune 13th, Far
Just a week before the 8th anniversary of The Mourning.


The sun had just recently set upon the Tower City of Sharn, and a storm rolled in along with the night air. Our duo head towards a well known fine dining experience of the city.

Cutting through Skysedge Park on their way to Sannid's in the Platinum Heights, Rosemary plans to treat Astrinos to a fine meal using the eight gold coins she'd stolen from him prior to their second meeting.



Curtains of water fall from the sky as you traverse the labyrinthine walkways of Sharn. The stone and wooden paths wind around and between the towers and spires high above the ground forming a complex latticework that can be very confusing on evenings such as this. The rain falls hard, running off higher walkways and balconies in drenching waves, making it difficult to see much more than few feet ahead of you. The distant glow of the Everbright Lanterns, barely visible in the soaking gloom, does little to light the paths on this cold, wet evening.

((Players: Roll me a perception check while you roleplay your walk through Skysedge Park in this downpour.))

The year is 1002 YK, eight years after the tragic event known as The Mourning.
It marked the end to the 100 year war that the five great nations had been locked in, though it's official end was in 996YK after the Treaty of Thronehold.
The five nations are still healing, and the scars of both The Last War and The Mourning still linger within the hearts of the people.

@Saeyra:
@another movie addict:
It seems dragoness is quite busy as well.
I think I'll try to start it soon with just the two of you for now.
Maybe the others can join later.

I've said before, but the game will start in the city of Sharn, with the PCs headed through one of the upper wards of the city.
It would be good if we could come up with a reason for your PCs to know each other, and why they're in the upper wards.
It should be easy for you two because you both have ties to House Phiarlan
Rosemary is directly affiliated with House Phiarlan,
and Astrinos is indirectly affiliated by way of being a potential customer of info, and through his wife who is a low level member within their Karn area of operations.

Perhaps Astrinos just recently got into Sharn and checked in with the House Phiarlan enclave, in order to establish initial contacts. Setup his network, so to speak.
Rosemary, being an agent, could very well likely have been staying there and be how the PCs met.
@another movie addict: Would Rosemary have maybe offered to show Astrinos around the city?

Or the two of you can discuss any ideas you have for their team-up instead.

Oh, and I'd like for you both to try filling in the Bio section of your sheets in roll20.
Let me know on Discord if you have any questions.

@dragoness129: Are you still interested in working on an Eberron character?
Shadami won't be able to join in anytime soon, unfortunately.

I'm hoping that we'll work out the kinks of doing forum-run DnD with just three players, and hopefully later we can work in Octology and Shadami if they get the time to participate.

I'm willing to work with you on the ship captain character.
Do they have to be an *airship* captain?
Normal sailing ships are still a thing in eberron.

@Saeyra: Sentinel would be perfectly fine.
I'm excited to see how well it works for you.

@saeyra: In case this might change your decision on your starting feat,
I've added a houserule concerning ASIs.
You can choose between two options whenever you're granted an ASI.
Either the normal +2 ASI.
Or +1 and a feat.

@dragoness129: Ah, that feyspire is located inside pirate controlled areas. The Lhazaar principalities are an archipelago region in the far north-east area of the main continent Khorvaire.

To pilot an airship is a difficult task. That's why it's thought that only Half-Elves with the Mark of Storm are capable of it.
The Mark of Storm basically does all the heavy lifting for them.

It could be possible for a non-Half Elf to pilot an airship but it would require a large amount of magical power.
Either by them exerting their own natural magic and willpower over the bound elemental that powers the ship,
or by use of some kind of magical item that assists with it, similar to the DragonMark of Storm.

In order to control the elemental by themselves, a person would have to be a Rakshasa, a Dragon, or as strong as either of those.


They would need to own an airship and have the means to operate it.
First of which is quite expensive, second of which is unheard of in the world of Eberron.

If someone possessed the means to operate an airship without the Mark of Storm, they'd need to hide it well.
House Lyrandar would be trying to suppress whoever it was, and take any magical item they used to assist them.
The Dragonmarked House of Lyrandar has a near monopoly over airship travel because they're the main source of pilots with the Mark of Storm. and they'd aim to keep it that way.

Edit:
It might be possible for a non-Half Elf to have a Mark of Storm under a very special circumstance.
If a Half-Elf with the Mark of Storm were to die, and then be brought back using the reincarnate spell, they might keep their Dragonmark while being born into a new body of another race.

@dragoness129: I'm sorry but I can't really take anymore players for the game.
If one of the current confirmed players decides they'd like to drop out, I could let you know, if you're still interested.

If you still wanted to make a character, for the sake of making a character, I'd could help you to fit them into the Eberron setting.

For the character you're describing, you've put together some conflicting elements though.
Taer Lian Doresh is one of the Feyspires that the Eladrin came from. Shifters aren't related to the Feyspires.
The shifer's ancestral homelands are in the Eldeen Reaches, though they've spread all across Khorvaire by now.
They were persecuted and almost wiped out by the Church of the Silver flame, as they were believed to be Lycanthropes.

As for being an airship captain, do you mean a pilot? Or just an owner?
Unfortunately, only Half-Elves with the Mark of Storm can pilot an airship.

It's basically milestone for now.
I might change it to EXP later. (And if I do, I'll try to not just grant EXP for kills, but for other stuff too)

@Shadami:
Yeah, Soul Knife is the subclass that you choose at 3rd level.

@Saeyra:
@another movie addict:


I'm planning for the first two level ups to come pretty quickly for you guys so you'll be level 3 by the end of the first half of your first adventure.
Then the leveling will slow down a bit.
