[@ViolentViolet] The House of Night is in England - I decided on that against the other countries because England is the most powerful of the four countries in the Kingdom - and also avoiding Scotland, due to the Isle of Skye. As for Affinities, it will mainly be a first-come, first-served basis. However, from what we can see in the books, the affinity often lays in line with the character's personality, so that will be taken into account. I'm still debating over allowing each character to develop two affinities, one main, and one small, but then I'll have to categorise what is classed as big and small, when all of them can be quite powerful in their own right. So, I may not go ahead with that. If somebody wants one that has already been taken, I'll allow it - but obviously we can't have seven different characters all with an affinity for fire when the other ones are being ignored. So, it'll be watched.
