Good luck to whoever claims this!
Why and I agreed that the owner of the plantation is called Rethil. No idea if that is the surname or just his name.

You'll be doing the naming. The cell names were left as is to give the claimants some a little more freedom regarding those areas. So feel free to name the caves and other cells whatever you feel is appropriate.Rats wrote:First, whilst NPCing the int/ext cells do I also name them? For example, will I rename interior cell "TR_i4-429-Hla_cave" to "Vys-Assanud, Cavern" or will the naming be done in some seperate later stage?
Absolutely! My note in the description was just more of a guideline so feel free to make small changes like that if you think it'll ultimately benefit the feel of environment.Rats wrote:Second, though the plantation shacks hold 9 slaves (as per the claim description), the plantation's saltrice fields are pretty massive for so few. I'm guessing I'm allowed to moderately increase the quantity to fit the environs better (thinking 13-15 slaves total).

I've pretty much done with the placement of the slaves. There are three separate fields with no slaves. The one right outside "TR-i4-438-Hla" or "Rulvam's Farmhouse", because I figured the field would belong to the farmer living in the farmhouse who doesn't own slaves. The other one is the field on the little isle between the Velothi tower and the storage tower; there is only a dead guard who got killed by an escaped slave (the slave can be found hiding not too far). These to aforementioned fields I'm intending to keep the way they are. The third field with no slaves is a rather large field of wickwheat which is sitting right next to Indalruhn. There's a road that leads from Indalruhn to the field, but not a road that would lead there from the plantation. Since the field is closer to Indalruhn I'm still figuring out whether the field belongs to the Rethils at all and who I should place there. Perhaps the field could belong to the plantation but utilize hired workforce from Indalruhn? I haven't made up my mind yet.Stryker wrote:We're a bit worried about having too many slaves, and I don't really want too many more than the amount of beds there are, but I feel like we might not have enough on your current wip. Any thoughts on that?
A lich child with an undead rat pet does verge on being an easter egg, which I don't want it to be. I think it isn't that horrible an idea lore-wise: there are definitely both children and liches in the world and it wouldn't be impossible for a magical prodigy child to become a lich given the right circumstances. I just wanted to create something interesting rather than just your average lvl 25 vampire/necromancer with Fight set to 100. The lichkid would've had something interesting to say plus the player would've had to find and destroy his phylactery before he could be killed -- like a mini puzzle. Of course, there are no children in the actual game so meeting an undead one would be a tad disorienting. I have to admit that if this wasn't my own idea, I would most likely oppose it tooWhy wrote:I'm not a fan of the lichkid, sorry.
I think this is probably the field that made me feel we needed more slaves. I like the idea of it being owned by the Rethils, but some people from Indalruhn work over there in exchange for some food, or just some payment. Gotta make a living, right?Rats wrote:The third field with no slaves is a rather large field of wickwheat which is sitting right next to Indalruhn.

This is part of the Thirr River Valley, I believe.Rats wrote:Oh, and I have question: what's is the Region of this claim called?
Yay! Thanks.Bloodthirsty Crustacean wrote:Otherwise though, you've got all the other races down very well, which is impressive.
