<< Use either Sartar ('You're sorta like Vikings or maybe Celts') or the West
('You're feudal knights and their folliowers') so that they can get a firm
picture in their heads. Not something a bit outre like the Grazers. Not for
the
very first game.

I've tried Praxians('a bit like cowboys and indians'), and 13th Century
Carmanians (lots of reasons for this : caste structure gave obvious character
choices between warrior and wizard; ready made enemies (New Moon Queendom,
Rival Blood Kings, those bloody Dara Happans, Brolian savages), I didn't think
much would be published to contradict anything that happened or that I made
up;." more a place of skill and adventure than large scale invasions, although
the latter did occur. We have no dates or names except for the opening fight
mentioned above" - History of the Lunar Empire Part Two.
This was great for letting politics and stuff work without worrying that it
was getting too "unofficial". I sometimes think Dragon Pass and Pavis can be a
bit suffocating because there is so much information about it.
Of these two the Praxian one was OK to start with but felt a but limiting as it continued. There seemed to be less options for the characters to develop into . " hey I want to be Khan", " hey so do I" etc.
