Title: [Earthdawn]The Kaer: A Guide to your Every Day Life
Post by: Serious Paul on October 30, 2008, 10:09:44 AM
Okay this an OOC thread, that describes your Kaer.

Known as Kaer PorBajin it was constructed after your people struck a deal with the Theran's, whom according to Legends were the mightiest of the Ancient Empires. Constructed primarily from Orkish laborers the Kaer was filled at the last possible minute and sealed. Luckily your peoples time down here has been relatively uneventful for the last few hundred years-there has never been a confirmed breach of your Kaer's perimeter, but there have been a few strange incidents her and there.

Your people quickly learned the value of cooperation, and equality between the races and have all but abandoned the violent arts for the pursuit of finer arts-poetry, sculpting, painting, performance arts, craftsmanship, magic etc....and for the last two hundred years things have been...well boring. You live in your artificially lighted Kaer, surviving off a steady diet of kelp, mushrooms, hybrid wheat's and grains, and the few animals your Kaer has managed to keep alive in captivity. (Mostly chickens, sheep, goats-but you guys have also managed a pretty good fishery as well.)

Population wise your Kaer is home to nearly two thousand people, of which about ten percent are Adepts, less than twenty of those (About 1% of the Kaer's population) have a circle higher than 2nd Circle.

Maps to shortly follow.

Feel free to ask questions, any questions you may have. If it isn't obvious there's little chance you don't know each other, at least in passing. Pretty much everyone knows everyone. I'll have a list of major NPC's in your Kaer shortly.

Everyone should really look at this (http://www.earthdawn.com/plugins/p13_download_manager/ftpfiles/rbl-506_rites_of_protection_and_passage.pdf) even if only once, and briefly.
