Max: Heh. I can see how it would be disorienting. The unicorn seems at present to be at the southern most river. While the Dragon's Peaks are at the northern end of the eastern mountain range. Ah heck. I'll just make up a map and post it. Give everyone an idea.
The gypsies are not available and Brophar won't bump into them. Don't worry about them.
Kostos: I believe there are a great many people searching for the Dove. For whatever reason they are doing so - wealth or to undermine their country or for their king or who knows. You're more than welcome to look for her. Also - you're welcome to move your character through his own story in whatever way you wish. The only caveat I'd place on that is a magical one. Magic is the sole possession of the mages. Can't take that on, I'm sorry. However, there is power to be found in the courts and in anywhere else you deem worthy in the country you're in. As well as a few more dangerous powers to be "courted" in the realms of the fae - though I'd not do that, as the fae are apt to stab you in the back merely because they felt like it at the time.
You are welcome to post IC at any time. It is a free form RP to a great extent, despite all of the silly rules I keep throwing at you. Heh.
EDIT: Mapilio - don't take it to heart. It's is just to give an idea of direction and where you might be.
(And NO.. that's not the only road, nor are the swamps completely doomfull. I dare say you could traverse them and only lose a tasty haunch or stringy heel. Only somewhat doomy.)
