Studying to better see and share the beauty
It’s been 30 years. Since the last Empress marched over the western mountains leading the combined might of her nations into the unknown. They’ve not returned.
It’s been 30 years. The nations are no longer united, unbound by the empresses peace they now seek to their own interests. They’re weak, fractures still reeling from the loss of so much power over the mountains, but when everyone is weak anyone could be strong. It just takes a little tip in someone's favour.
No one else has ever been over the western mountains to the west. Nor to the north past the endless desert, or sunless south or churning eastern storms. The Western Wall was the only way out. Could it also be a way in?
The current Empress, not that anyone calls her that, insists from her ancestral seat in the eastern forests that she has reason to believe something is stirring over the wall again. She’s setting out, to tour the Kingdoms her bloodline once bound together, though her intentions are unclear.
How's this look to people?
If this get's interest I'll keep filling it up with info but I want a lot of the lore to be collaborative. I'll be happy to answer any questions as well.
There's room for 5 to 8 players, with more people favouring me taking up a Co-Gm to help manage workload.

Name-
Titles- If you have any.
Race- No humans, be descriptive
Life story and Age- Remember, 30 years ago is they key date for when the Iron Tide disappeared. So they’ll be quite a difference in experience between people who have and haven’t lived before then.
Kingdom- Where are you from and who do you represent?
Perks- Start with 2. Perks are good, they can include skills or powers your character has or access and training with specialist equipment. As we progress you’ll be able to pick out new ones.
Traits- Also start with 1. Traits have an upside and downside (that need to be related). You’ll also collect more of these as we go but you won’t necessarily control what you get or when.
Gear- Remember the economy and infrastructure aren’t exactly alive at the moment.
Problems- What's bothering you?
Quests- What are you trying to accomplish?

Lands- What’s the environment like there?

Strengths-
Weaknesses-
History- The only fixed point is that your Kingdom was part of the empire 30 years ago. So tell us about how that came to happen? And what’s happened since?
