Ok fellas, We bring cookies and ideas.
Dave suggests the groups split up, however we want your vote on that. Also, we would create separate threads for each group, making it easier to maintain and keep focus. Though this would create a little more work for us management wise. However, we have noted that it is difficult for people to keep track of 15 characters and maintain the direction of the story. David says that his characters have semi-stagnated compared to their original focus.

Each new group would have a purpose, a mission of sorts, which we will create as part of Kirret's story about the Styrmwraith. We'd come together after completing these quests. People would get to choose the quest they go on, however we'd want the groups reasonably evenly split - no point in one or two characters going off on their little lonesome.

We've been thinking about the whole Styrmwraith legend and hope to offer a different perspective once Kirret begins her tale. (this is to get your appetite whetted).

Spoiler note - Rynn's dream is prophetic and where the base of Styrmwraith started. Also, there was a race before humans called the Old Ones.
We're also thinking of fast tracking it to Shamar Pass after the discussion with Kirret regarding the Styrmwraith legend - depending on whether we are splitting into groups or not.
Enjoy the rest of the cookies, and have fun munching on ideas.
Please post your thoughts.
Cheers, Steph and Dave
