Shadow's Solace [Fantasy Epic]

How common are nonhuman races, and are they restricted to certain roles in society? For example, are there non humans in nobility?

Shadow's Solace [Fantasy Epic]

I'm very interested... What is the generally accepted power-level for characters? Typically I'd just base it off what other people seem to be doing, but seeing as sheets are being kept private I want to make sure that I don't end up under or overpowered...

Edit: Also, are those who use magic items considered on the same level as magicians are?

Read all 5.

Edit: We'll see about the song. I don't have any recording equipment but maybe before this is all over we will see.

I think James may end up as our player kill by default...

As for lyrics, I think this is appropriate in the context of Henry. I feel like the lyrics are naked and incomplete without the music, but whatever.

To Keep Me Warm

All that I wanted was the sun in my hands.
The sun in my hands.
I thought that its warmth would fill my soul.
But I’m still cold, oh I’m still cold.

Isn’t this just what I wanted? When I left you alone
In the city of my youth.
But these people, they don’t know me, they don’t know what I hide
Oh I’m dead, dead inside.
So I take another hit, and I fall to the floor
Dear lord, dear lord.

All that I wanted was the sun in my hands.
The sun in my hands.
I thought that its warmth would fill my soul.
But I’m still cold, oh I’m still cold.

And all, these drugs, will kill me, in time,
But I don’t mind, oh I don’t mind.
Cause I’m empty and alone, and I know that I won’t find,
Another way to ease my mind
So I take another hit, and fall to the floor
Dear lord, dear lord.

Oh, but all that I wanted was the sun in my hands.
The sun in my hands.
I thought that its warmth would fill my soul.
But I’m still cold, oh I’m still cold.
And all that, I needed, was here all along,
But I didn’t know it, oh I didn’t know it.
And all that I needed was here, all along.
Oh I didn’t know it, oh I didn’t know…

My only real talent is singing, but after I picked up playing guitar a few years back I've been able to learn how to play well enough to accompany myself in some solo stuff, I mostly have this sort of folky, singer/songwriter type deal. The lyrics are pretty good, and even though the guitar parts are all pretty basic, people seem to enjoy it. I've got much more talented friends, one who plays viola and another who plays trumpet, that I sometimes just give the chords to, and they can add a lot more dimension to my otherwise simple songs... I mostly just write for myself though, so I can express-

Like Erika, Henry found his way into the ballroom at the mercy of the throng, and he did not resist. As he was carried inside by the flowing mass of people Dr. Halibern began to notice a slight fuzziness around the edges of his consciousness, but disregarded it entirely upon his arrival inside. The room lived up to it’s title as the Great Hall, “It really is a pretty great hall…” Henry muttered aloud to himself. The grand, open space was adorned beautifully, and it was a pleasure to watch the empty space become filled with life, as the Swedes continued to pile in. As he began looking around for his favorite waiter in the midst of the crowd, a server that Henry was much less enamored with arrived to usher him towards the stage. He decided to go along with it, after all it really was unfair to judge the man too harshly for the simple crime of not bearing expensive liquor…

Henry started paying more attention to the band while waiting at the side of the stage with the Woll family, and found himself in a pretty good mood. Everything was going fantastically as the eclectic group of well-dressed guests made their way onto the stage. David made his speech and began introducing them one by one, and again, everything seemed to be going well until he reached Henry. The Doctor raised his hand for a little half salute, half wave thingy, and as he did, Henry began to notice something off. He became very aware of the sensation of controlling his body with his mind, as the two entities began to feel more distinct from each other. Wondering what on earth was going on, Henry began to wonder if he was about to go on an out of body, but he hadn’t taken anything that would have caused it. Or had he? No, he concluded, as the feelings progressed he was pretty sure he was staying grounded for this one, but that didn’t mean he hadn’t taken anything.

Absorbed in thought, Henry wasn’t sure how he ended up off stage, but discovered that his body was walking itself down the stairs and back into the crowd. He was definitely coming up on something, the heaviness in his limbs had just began to take hold, but he still couldn’t remember taking anything before the party… It must have been in the alcohol then, he reasoned, of course it was possible that if the manor knew his tastes in furniture that they also knew he had a penchant for recreational drug usage. “Hey- Hey, you got the drinks?” Henry said, having suddenly found the waiter from before, “Oh, beautiful. Are there drugs in these ones too?”

The typically composed server nearly stopped in his tracks in what appeared to be a mixture of confusion and nervousness, “Wha- Wait, what?” He stammered.

“I asked if you put more drugs in these drinks too. It’s all good, how much of it can I take before it turns on me?” Henry replied in a tone more appropriate for discussing the weather than drugging an unsuspecting man. “I just don’t want to overdose or anything, you know?” He added, grabbing one of the drinks from the waiter’s hand and throwing half the glass’ contents back.

“Uhh… There aren’t any drugs in these drinks, sir.”

“Eh, that’s mildly disappointing, to be honest.” Henry half-joked, as he took a second look at his glass, then with a bit of a shrug he proceeded to pour the rest of the amber liquid down his throat. “Trade?” He asked, indicating that he wished to exchange his empty glass for the second, still full glass. After this transaction was complete, Henry sent the extraordinarily confused waiter on his way. As the alcohol continued to mix even further with whatever drugs he had taken, Dr. Halibern smiled to himself. Tonight would be a great night, and at this point, he was down for whatever the Woll Manor might throw at him next.

I'm going to go ahead and start writing my post now, hopefully it will be up tonight, unless my attention gets unfortunately diverted to writing the song I've been working on for a few days.
