User:Nylen/Colonies New Realm (based in Wetham)

Ground rules

• This is a marauding realm, focused on raiding rather than expansion
• The characters are dark evil men that worked for one of the Lich King's unholy death knights, Lord Salak, before founding their own realm
• The realm will start off as an ally of the Lich King's Dominion (which is an NPC realm)
• The new realm will receive initial help from the GM (recruitment centers, fortifications, funds)
• Undead armies in the realm's regions will remain there as militia with the secession (but cannot be recruited later)
• The capital is the region of Wetham

From this starting point we get to make our own choices, but we need a backstory. (How we arrived on the continent originally, how/why we got rid of Lord Salak, why we founded our own realm, etc.)

• Joining the new realm: It is still being looked into how we will join the new realm. We should have clarity within a day or two. (Joining an NPC realm is not built into the game code right now.)
