Questions about my first character. . .

[Guest]

I wish to play a dwarf warrior on Tazlure, but I have no idea how or why
he would "fit in" one of the active cities on the board. I am well aware
that I should not make a character solely based on fighting, (ie: non
combat starting skills) but it seems there is no activity whatsoever in the
dwarf cities, and I can't come up with a decent reason for Maldi to travel
to active human/adhiel locations. Anyone with suggestions for me?

All you really need is a pretense to get him out of dwarf lands and somewhere else. It doesn't mean he actually has to accomplish what he set out to do. Perhaps he was sent to find someone or something in where ever it is you want to end up playing. Or perhaps he was sent as an emissary to establish diplomatic relations or as a diplomatic assistant. We have another player who did that (Rosalie in Citadel).

Or perhaps he went in search of something.. something dwarfish left behind when his clan retreated back to the mountains.. something his family wants back. Or to find a special healer.. or mage... who supposedly has the answer to a problem back home.

Or perhaps he just has wanderlust and was enthralled by the tales of far off and exotic places by travelers that wandered by and he has decided to go see them for himself.

Or his family needs money and so he joins a caravan as a guard but for some reason the caravan had to take a detour.. to avoid bandits or floods or whatever.... and so he ended up somewhere other than where he intended. He sees this new place as a good place to earn money and send back home so he stays awhile.

The possibilities are endless

The Dwarves of Nazareen were driven fom their home by invading demons before the Super Sync so there is a fine reason for leaving home.

Excellent. I am impressed by the response time to my questions. The suggestions are great! I think I'm just having troubles making a history because I havn't RP'd for a few years. I havn't had much time for esthetic thoughts lately. Which is another reason I'm looking forward to posting here.

You could even work with a mod and create a small starting story with him or her. Try asking Vanadius for help since he runs Dort and Nazareen is just bellow the surface. You two could spin a nice little event that way and it would give your char an initial direction from which he could get involved in more.

I'm definitely rolling with that idea. Thanks Wolf!

Where is Nazareeen at? It's not listed in the Worldguide and I can't seem to find it on the board either.

It is in the Dort Mountains. As said you best ask Vanadius about it.
