Game Description

This is a 4.0 game within Eberron in the Lhazaar Principalities for the most part. I am hoping to recruit five DEDICATED (must post at least 1/day, weekends/holidays exceptions but please do anyway if you have free time) players. I will choose based on roles filled and would prefer no duplicates of the same class, but I will also judge you on writing ability. This will be a high-action, high-adventure (and hopefully some comedy) sea game inspired by Pirates of The Carribean, One Piece, and Treasure Island. I am also using the Eden races/feats shown below:

Two new skills will see play as variants in this, big thank yous to Get_in_my_Belly for the idea: http://www.myth-weavers.com/showthread.php?t=41639

The races will have been always in Eberron in this case, with their own cultures not having to be changed to a huge degree. Iomadi are nearly extinct rather than humans, but other than that it's fine. Most do not live in the Lhazaar Principalities, but have traveled there occasionally.

You are using Point Buy from the 4.0 books to generate your stats, and you begin at 11th level. You have a level 10, 11, and 12 magic item along with 5,000 Gold Pieces and free mundane equipment.

Please keep in mind that Errata has been released recently for 4.0, which you can find here: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/4news/20080716

You only need to read the Player's Handbook stuff.

Information on Lhazaar Principalities, from EberronWiki (fixed the spelling within):

A narrow strip of land to the east of the Hoarfrost Mountains are the principalities only connection to mainland Khorvaire. A band of more than two dozen islands lies scattered off the coast of this narrow band of landscape and extends further north than any point on Khorvaire's shores piercing into the Bitter Sea and extends south to islands off the coast of Q'Barra.

Lhazaar society exists more on the open sea than on any land establishment. Those that call the few land establishments home exist to service the sea industries and every major settlement exists on the coastline while much of the interior of the islands remain unexplored and uninhabited. Although the oldest settlements of Khorvaire exist in the Principalities they retain their feeling of frontier towns embraced by the beautiful and brutal environment around them. The sea princes over their own islands and every inhabitant pledges fealty to these sea princes. The princes themselves are as varied as the many rulers of the other nations of Khorvaire. Whereas one may be a tyrannical despot another might be a kind-hearted ambassador of goodwill.

Lhazaar was the first one that set up Society in the Lhazaar Principalities. She gave the captains in her fleet the title Prince and created the few laws that is held thought out the land. The law that she is best known for is that the title prince is not hereditary. Lhazaar noble hold their title thought the power of their armies. As you would most likely have gathered if his armies loss the winner can lay claim to his title and his land. With so many different people many of the Principalities have use this law with their own traditions. The gnomes of Lorghalen have challenges to a prince play a game of wit. The Elves of Farlnen want a show of Arcane skill in addition to naval power. The Sea Princes are very independent and fund among each other. None of the islands have every been united under a prince. But there has always been one prince that claims the title of high prince. This is backed by the fact that the prince has a strong fleet and the respect of the other princes.

There is few laws that the people of the Lhazaar Principalities follows throughout. The big law says that the princes of have the right to administer justice in his own land and he can appointing officers as he sees fit. The princes fight each other but they will help each other if a prince is being attacked by an outsider. Like their princes, the people of the Lhazaar Principalities will help each other if attack by outsiders.

The Lhazaar people love the sea. They live around the sea because they feel trapped when they are inland. They eat sea food and drink alcoholic beverages made form different sea plans. Because the Lhazaar has so many people form different areas and races they are comfortable with all races. The people also use the languages from the races that live there to create it's own mix language. A person might speak one language but they use words for other language as they talk. Clothing differs from one island to other but the clothing tends to be tough and functional. Lhazaar have a lot of pride in there hair.

Application Process:

Name
Gender
Race
Age
Class/Paragon Path (Or multiclass if appropriate)

Backstory: A decent size, if you please. You're level 11, so you have a good deal of prestige (or more likely, infamy) already.

Personality: Try to be distinct with personalities, be clever, and be well-suited to this type of game.

Allies/Enemies: Specific people or general groups. I would also prefer if each person had 2 PCs they know right off, but I don't mind if you don't.Mika Rockface was called a Prince by many, despite her gender. Such was the way the titles of the Lhazaar Principalities functioned. Today, however, any qualities that might have made the old dwarf seem like royalty were instead being twisted to the side of demonic. She vented, she raged, she cursed at what she saw when she open the treasure chest on the island.

"Your treasure-hunting skills are terrible. F-" She repeated the contents of the letter, the only thing within the chest, and threw it against the wall.

"Where's Vrunk? Tell him we're leaving back to Port Krez! We're goin' ta show those two-timers not ta cross the Cloudreavers, if tha Navy doesn't get 'em first!
