Depends what's the running time (afternoon, morning, evening?) and setting. But I'd be tempted as I like PCing.

Excellent. I did have something in mind, but I quite like Steve's suggestion of a game where the PCs can nip in and out, relatively naturally. I've had some inspiration as a result of his suggestion, so I'll put something up here about the theme later when I've done some planning.

As for start time, it depends on when people are willing to start. My friend Adam has to get back to London for work the next morning, so we can't go on too late, I'd suggest a start time of sometime between 10-1? But that can be flexible.

The 13th of May is no good for me, but I'd be happy to try and start on the 10th of June if that works for people.

So, here's the story - We start in the land of Akanul, with the sea of Fallen Stars to the north, Chessenta to the east, the Underchasm to the south-east, Chondalwood to the south-west & Turmish to the west.

Akanul didn't exist before the spell plague; During the year of Blue Fire, large parts of the landscape were swapped or merged with parts of Abeir. In many places the land split to form great ravines, and surging spires of rock.  Elsewhere vast chunks of land, known as motes, tore free of the earth & now float a distance above their surroundings. These motes can support small forests, lakes, or even waterfalls that seem to flow constantly. At the same time, the water level of the Sea of Fallen Stars and the Vilhon Reach sank drastically revealing large areas of the sea bed.

The country that was Chondath ceased to exist - it's cities devastated or transported by these changes. Strange creatures coming out of the Plaguewrought lands to the south drove refugees north, where they found a displaced city of Genasi from Abeir. These Genasi organised the refugees to form a fledgling nation that became Akanul. Treaties have been made with their neighbours to the east & west, but there is a large amount of unclaimed & untamed land to the south.

In the city of New Breem, west of the Akanpeaks, and on the mouth of the Vilhon Reach, due to the number of refugees food is becoming scarce, accomodation is at a premium, and disease is an increasing concern. There are rumours spreading through the streets that General Mak-huum & Lord Roskell have been given permission/orders to resettle the lands to the south, and that there are generous rewards for those willing to act as pioneers.

This would be a good opportunity for any refugee down on their luck to get a foot up in the world, a minor official looking to impress their superiors, a person of faith to expand the influence of their deity, or someone needing to lay low for a while. There are also rumours of one group of adventurers who have come out of the south with great wealth.

Any questions?

One thing I probably should say while you're thinking of characters is that Dragonborn are not very popular in Akanul. The Akanites and the Dragonborn of Tymanther have had a few skirmishes in the past.

If possible I'd like you to message me with your character ideas and a bit of back story/motivations so I can work it into the plot.
