Also maybe interested in playing a Merchant Captain/totally-not-a-pirate-at-all-honest from one of the Island republics. Or someone from Not-Iberia. Sorry for the doublepost, tired and not thinking super-clear

Just do understand if you write a POV of "totally-not-a-pirate-at-all-honest" that so far my idea on cannons are very primitive (I know, you'd think in this amount of time they'd be at least early imperial age tech, but lol) to the equivalent of [i]very[/i] early feudal era. Though I might have the people from the arabic/african-esque continent have some grasp of the concept. Hard to decide since I don't even know if gunpowder has been invented/discovered yet. I do like the idea of people approaching stories in this field of adventure and such though so don't think I'm discouraging anyone. =D

[quote]I'm interested in this. I'd like to play a common foot soldier, if that's possible.[/quote]

I'm trying to think how you'd intend to do a soldier's POV, so that's a curious idea given there are plenty of places for soldiers to be stationed. You see that stretch of land over the Sea of Echoes that Perhyr owns? It's held to be a sort of lookout for pagan raiders ("not-wildlings/freefolk/vikings"), there's no grandoise wall (great wall, etc.) but there are plenty of forts and small stretches of stone or palisade walls probably though.
