As with any fantasy setting, we have created a whole new world with new species and customs and rules. So it is understandable that you will have questions. Especially about the smaller details that would effect a storyline but might not end up in the main rules.
If you have a question, simply ask it in this thread and one of the crew shall answer you promptly!
As Wolfie was creating this, we chatted about a few different things and I think it would be helpful to include our decisions here as the first few questions.

Question:
Are there any ordinary humans in Saegrath?
Answer:
No. The Bloodlines reflect the only peoples in the world. Obviously custom bloodlines can still be created but just like the beasts of this world, all of the people are gifted and extraordinary.

Question:
What is the layout of Saegareth?
Answer: The general layout of Saegareth can be found here. It's a very simple layout, but drawing a real map is beyond my creative ability at the moment. I burned my brain out making the guild and I'm in recovery at the moment.

Question:
How do the gates in Saegareth work?
Answer:
The gates of the Nations are like portals. Exiting the Gate of Sol Solis will put you in a dark chamber with the Gate of Saieth standing across from you.
The one in Sol Solis is in the middle of a huge square just in front of the Fortress Castle. The one in Saieth is in the middle of no where in arocky terrain far away from the castle Saieth. There are no guard posts near the one in Saieth because you appear in the middle of no where. There are guard posts near the one in Sol Solis.
The gates to lands within the nations on the other hand, are like gates to cities in our real world.
Which leave the matter of traveling to the Wastelands. Since the Wastelands isn't a nation per se, it's not really graced with any sort of portal or gate. It's about a days ride outside of either Saieth or Sol Solis and can be traveled to from any Land.
For the sake of posting at this point in time if you want to travel to the Wastelands, just imply that you're going there in whatever post you make in the Nations or the Lands and then just appear in the Wastelands in your next post. It's crude at the moment, but it suits our purposes.

Question:
Can Bloodlines interbreed?
Answer:
Yes and No. Two bloodlines are capable of coming together and producing offspring. However, the pregnancy is very difficult and often the mother and child do not survive. If the child is born, they are very sickly for most of their youth and often don't survive to adolecense. However, once they hit puberty, their health improves and they quickly grow and develop their powers. These hybrid offspring are more powerful then their parents and usually have the sum of their powers. But they are always tend to be sickly and somewhat weaker than their parents.
Not only do these children have weak constitutions despite their great power, they are sterile. So they cannot have children. This has led to the Bloodlines often choosing to maintain purity since it is considered anywhere from aberrantly unnatural and disgusting to simply impractical to form romantic attachments with those of other Bloodlines.
Not that this has stopped those relationships from blooming, but they will never be able to start a family that will produce grandchildren or anything beyond their direct heirs. Also, the children of these unions are seen my some groups as an abomination, drawing undue censor toward these children.

Question:
How long ago was the "Great War"?
Answer:
something like a thousand years ago. Written history kinda took a stop right after the great war so there's some debate about the exact number of years.

Your character can carry as much as they possibly can.
And when I say that, I mean seriously. Very few people are going to be hauling around a million swords, spears, and axes. Be logical.

Question:
What is the difference between bloodline and occupations?
Answer:
A bloodline is not bound to be an occupation, but the occupation is for the bloodline. Consider it like this: A person born to the swordsman's bloodline grows up in a culture that favors the occupation of the swordsman. However, they are not bound by fate to be a swordsman. They can become blacksmiths, carpenters, etc. However once they choose this path they can not go back and learn how to be swordsman.
This does not mean that people from different bloodlines can take up occupations that belong to other bloodlines (Alchemist can not become Rune Writers, just like Rune writers probably wouldn't try to become Alchemist). All the occupations require training, study, and certain abilities or characteristics that belong solely to that BLOODLINE.
eg: A swordsman could become a archer, however they will never be able to compete at the same level as a Ranger. No matter how hard they try. Reason, because the Ranger under went training at a young age to fill that job. -I hope this helps clarify the races and occupations.

Question:
What are the ruling titles of the Various Lands and who Rules the Lands?
Answer:
The short of this answer is that it's a work in progress. But you want the long answer.
The Leaders of the two NATIONS are titled King and Queen. The leaders of the various LANDS are princes and princesses. This is only so the titles don't get confused with the King and the Queen. Technically all the leaders of the lands of Sol Solis serve and report to King Tabarias and all the leaders of the lands of Saieth serve and report to Queen Eisheith.
SO! That being said here are the current leader positions.
Sol Solis~ King Tabarias Lucepheros
The Forest Land Sulyll~open
The Water Land Aqualiis~ Princess Amaterasu
The Plan Land Kaheeer~Prince Dekker
Saieth~Queen Eisheith
The Desert Land Merseyr~Prince Veric Brener
The Mountain Land Caehoul~Princess Valeas
The Snow Land Kielael~ Princess Kisrafel Raifira

Here's a question. Im working up my first character (A Shadowmaster) and i was wondering something. If its possible, can he wear a set of regular armor (and if some, is plate mail okay) to offset the weakness of his living armor? I thought it might balance him a bit better, but if not, its understandable.

Nope. The essence of the Shadowmaster is their parasitic armor ( They cannot part with it for long periods of time. ) which they are able to manipulate, and they're huge, so they will be naturally slow.
