Sep 29, 2008 23:43:17 Just starting a new FR campaign in 4E, with a brand new GM. I am playing. Anyhow, the books are all very vague and mysterious about:
1: What happened to Zakhara after Spellplague?
2: Anything about refugee communities after spellplage?

I have a tentative character history which keeps it vague, but would appreciate others' reflections on this.

Relevent assumptions:
Yusif is one of the fortunate few from Zakhara, as his great-grandfather happened to be out of the country (on a merchant vessel traveling the Sea of Fallen Stars) when Zakhara was overrun by Spellplague. Since then the family has lived in the "Little Zakhara" neighborhood of Marsember Cormyr -- practicing their traditions and religion in the "city of spices."

The character has the (essentially useless) Midani language as his second language. And has the Cormyr benefit of +2 to insight checks and saves vs fear.

Sep 30, 2008 16:09:16 IF and when I ever get around to doing any Zakhara fan-material (after the 3e Zakhara Map is complete), I'm picturing 'portals' to Abeir opening up just about everywhere, with all sorts of weird creatures and 'DragonKings' spewing forth.

With Psionics.

I call it Athas-Qadim.

And, of course, a 'Tomb-Kings' style empire (Warhammer) in the Haunted Lands.
