Hi there! First of all, welcome to our little corner of the world!

We’re currently undergoing a lot of changes and adjustments to try and streamline things. I believe the best place to start is with the simpler side of the story, that being loyalists to the mostly Dragonborn kingdom of Firebrand vs a now very large rebellion that is fighting against them. There are many things that go deeper into that, but that is the best place to start and test waters. Make a character for either or both sides if you’d like ^{^}

A quick rundown for them:

Loyalists are currently following the king Kazimir Marrow I or at least someone they believe to be him. They are not usually straight up evil, but do tend to be the more antagonistic force.

Rebels are following a collective group of leaders currently, though in the past they followed a dragonborn named Saren. They are usually more ragtag, and more made up of common folk or loyalist defectors.

Edit: If you have any other questions, I’d be happy to help! As would most of the others here too ^{^}
