I'd like to know what your inspiration was for Sira? And I would also like to hear more about this mysterious trip that she's taking, and no I said mystery already so you can't say it too! At least tell me what direction she's going in..so I'll know where to aim my bow.

In this video I talk a bit about the Voice, as Jules requested, and I also answer Aela's question about Sira.

Okay, now before people start yelling, I realize I said "river" instead of "lake." It meant lake.

It's A-lea. Thanks for the response to my questions. I think that's pretty cool. I didn't get my idea for Aela until after I read about windreach and the Inartan also. So that's super...and I love how you waited til the last second to say she's going east. lol

Thanks for the videos, Verilian! Could you talk a little bit about gaining citizenship in Ravok? This is something that interests me in particular, as I may start there. And I'm not yet sure if just being born in Ravok grants you it automatically, and how hard it is to become a citizen as a foreigner. My character is still quite sketchy and his history feels a bit childish, so I want to revise much of his sheet, but Ravok will be quite relevant to him.

And could you please please talk a little bit about the Rising Dawn and your plans for it, if there are any? Are there no longer active PC members? How close is it to the Order of Radiance? It interests me very much. Thank you, and sorry for throwing all of these questions at you!

So everyone let me know what your thoughts on this video are, if it was useful, if you liked it, ect. And most importantly, if you want me to do another. Also, if you have a specific thread you'd like me to talk about, then feel free to ask.

Oh, and I was wrong in the video. The thread was actually called Ghost Strings

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer the questions, that will be very helpful on setting the goals of this character!

As for the latter video, I really can't speak from a storyteller perspective, but I do think that this sort of linking of threads makes it all more believable, and having read some threads with Aello before, it does seem like that event was quite relevant for her character progression. Even if it is just an impression of mine, I think you're already doing a good job when you are able to have such an effect of a character's concept, as well as when you are flexible enough to allow players to alter in a way or another your original plans (as you mentioned about the temple being spared from destruction because of one). That's pretty much a mutual storytelling going on, which I feel is the whole purpose of this website in the end, I think. It all gets more interesting when we get surprised at how the story flows.

Hi everyone! Got another video. Since there were no questions this last time, I just figured I'd ramble about stuff. This one is just a few things that people may or may not know about Ravok.
