Character drafting (if, of course, there is room for newcomers—I'm sure you're giving priority seating to people already playing in Circled Sea games). Do any of these factions operate from a position of secrecy, or are all the major claimants declared and accounted for in the coming conflict? And what phase has the fighting reached, if at all?

One of the Co-Ops here, you can hop on this without having played the previous thread, it isnt absolutely necessary. At the present moment the fighting has been only at its first stages, with the battle of Trefgodwic (a town outside the empire) In the previous thread having been arguably the starting point of this wider war. And while the two warring elven brothers have gone at it as well, the war has barely begun. DB could correct me with this but so far all factions have made their presence known.
