Quite possibly.
What we're trying to do is start a campaign on the loose premise of "we all retired from the army together and got given this land grant together". (And it's next to the Upland Marsh - someone didn't like us!). So we're all from the same loose "unit" (size unspecified). The idea is to play with the ILH homelands, but in a setting that we know enough about to run in. It's 1619. We'll have the Sartar camapign arc running in the background, and see how much of it we join in on (and what side we're on in a few years time). (The other object of the exercise is to convert the GM and half the players from RQ2 to HQ.)
But we're *not* all cut-out identical characters from the same homeland. That would be mind-blowingly boring, and a waste of all the colour in the ILH. We have my Darjiini (who likes the Marsh but not the undead), the Carmanian Humakti (full plate, big sword) who loathes the marsh but likes the "target rich enviroment" of undead, the idealistic (and cashiered) young Dara Happan officer (and his wyvern), and the chap from Vanch who can get you anything for a price.
And, equally of course, we're all keeping our homeland religions, but adding some Lunar touch or other - 7 moms common magic is the obvious one. I just wanted to figure out the practicalities of how we'd managed worship ceremonies or whatever over the last few years.
Are we saying this obvious campaign premise isn't actually possible?
(And should it move to the RPG list, being now about setting rather than rules? Moderator decision - I'll avoid confusion by leaving it here for now.)
