I've technically finished my CS, though I am awaiting Cupertino's judgement on the childhood section. If there's anything Cupertino wants changed on it I'll edit it first.

Cupertino PM'd me the other day informing me that they've been pulled out of town for a few days, so I'll judge on what I see here. Reviews soon.

All seems to be in order, Jay. Feel free to transfer it. Though I do have one question!

Seven years ago this happened:

Olthonis forms a union with their neighbors in the desert as conflicts on every front seem out to destroy them together or alone— the threats being that of a Great (Orc) Khan rising up in the desert, a pirate fleet led by the Kraken (pirate admiral) on the eastern coastline, and a great wyrm (giant sand worm) descending from the sands. Calling their union “The Three Sands” they hope to defend themselves in the present and in the future from such realities.

Surprised to see no mention of it having an effect on your character's childhood considering it was only seven years ago. I mean she would've been eight years old, but that's old enough for it to have an effect. I think Faeron would've had more problems with the Kraken since they are mostly a coastal nation.

Looking good, only a few things which I will address—

Is Prometheus a bastard? You mention how he was born to a noblewoman named Illyana Greycastle? That would be quite the juicy amount of information for those who play the game at the Conclave if I’m reading that correctly.

You still mention magical libraries in his kingdom, when the only libraries are in Forlonia and The Conclave currently.

Much like early medieval history in our world, smallfolk (non-nobles) do not have surnames at this point in time. So it’d just be Kara.

But yeah, cover those edits (as well as the spacing that I edited in the above and transfer ‘em over.

@Gowi I never said that they were magical libraries. I meant regular libraries that he searched and rarely found magic books in. It's not like people didn't copy Thornwell's work and take those copies out of Forlonia.

oh well, For clarity's sake, I'll change it

Kind of a closely guarded thing, but yeah there might be a few rough journals. I should've been more clear about the availability of magic knowledge, my bad. But yeah, you good Shad.

Had a busy couple of days, and I seem to have fallen quite firmly behind. Hrmm. Although all that there seems to be able to do is talk to each other, which doesn't really work for my awkward, sneaky character. Hrrrrmmmmm.

@Dead Cruiser If you need help jumping in, I can have Seldo interact with Edgar to get you started. Or, you're free to interact with Seldo, of course, since he's done with Anareliea.

Suppose I should get some updates on everyone! (Sloth and Cup have already informed me of schedule difficulties that will delay them.)

I honestly find it hilarious that almost everyone is taller than Brendan. I think the only one who is around Brendna's height or smaller is Rhelissa.

Just imagining Brendan interacting with someone makes me smile since he's always looking up.

He has a height advantage over Haytham, actually. Slightly.

@Polaris North Well, Seldo's only got an inch on Brendan. And Seldo's not particularly muscular either, so they're probably pretty close to the same size.

@Hayazo@Snagglepuss89

Well he is a year older. But I never realized that a lot of males are actually close to his height.

For some reason, I thought most were at least 5'7.

But now that I'm reading it, all character applications before Aleandra's is actually around that height. Hm... guess I have horrible memory of it.

Threw up a mostly finished CS to round out the major NPCs of The Conclave. I'll be posting with my characters and all that today hopefully.

@Gowi Not sure if you've already explained this, but how does the different forms of magic work in this world? Chants? magic circles? wands or free casting? Mana?

And also, it's a school so what about classes? When do those start?

Sorry if I seem pushy, I just need to know how to structure any future IC posts that involve them

Classes will begin upon the twelfth day of the summer so you willful newcomers will have six days to get acquainted with the academy grounds, prepare your schedule, and mingle with your fellow students.

Magic works through stamina, focus, and knowledge. I was going to go over this in a post to the best of my ability, but I suppose I can mention some of it now but understand I just woke up so I am a bit groggy. Basically the general idea is that any incantations and “magic words” are generally to help the caster remain focused and memory of certain magical equations— to keep their mind centered on the magic they want to channel and shape. There will be wands, staves, and the like; but their utility are more like magic amplifiers that make things easier or faster depending on the equation of a spell. There is no mana pool, there is only human stamina/fatigue.
