Hello! The next Deep Dive Q&A is Saturday at 10 AM Pacific time, less than 48 hours away, so we'd better pick a topic! Here's a few that have been requested or discussed...

KARRNATH. Let's talk about this gloomy nation. What's the story with the Code of Kaius and military service? What's Rekkenmark really like? What's the story with Karrnathi Vassals?

REKKENMARK. For those who want a you want a deeper dive, let's talk specifically about Rekkenmark, both the city and the school!

ARCHFEY. A discussion for the archfey in general and an opportunity to get to know some of the specific archfey in more depth!

CREATING CONSPIRACIES. An exploration of secret societies and the steps I go through when adding a new faction to a setting.

ADVENTURES IN RIEDRA. Just what it says on the tin!

OVERLORDS. Let's talk about some of the lesser known Overlords and how I'd use them in a campaign!

I need a decision in 24 hours, so vote early and often!

One of my favourite PCs was from Rekkenmark back in the boards1.wizards days. That’s a no brainer for me.

Dragonback Lancer

Ooh, Karrnath! All the other options are cool as well, but I'm currently trying to write something very Karrnath-related, so I'll have to go with that one

Jimberish

**Shakes the dice** Come oooooon Overlords! Daddy's game needs a new Rakshasa!

Dave Tucker

I'm starting my first campaign in 20 years in a few weeks and plan to use Dral Khatuur as a main antagonist. I would love to have more ideas regarding her if lesser overlords wins.

David Mitchell

It’s always exciting when literally every single option is a winner! Can’t wait either way.

Karrnath in general vs Rekkenmark in specific is vote splitting hard. I can't make up my mind! I have so many questions like if Bone Knights usually start at Rekkenmark and finish in Atur or what. Oh, we get multiple.

Chris

All bangers, seriously. But I need more conspiracies in my life.

Snark Knight

As an Atur book voter I gotta go Rekkenmark deep dive. But as someone who cannot think like Keith Baker when it comes to Fey I must follow the way of 1999's The Mummy and choose both.

Robert Lebeau

A Rekkenmark Academy Campaign Trilogy beginning with students circa 980YK that leads into a Wartime storyline then wraps up as veterans after the Last War. With the recently outlawed Emerald Claw acting as the main antagonists to begin with, evolving to include the Blood of Vol, and a showdown with Erandis in her Frozen fortress to top it off.

It looks like a commanding lead for Karrnath. What are some questions you’d like answered?

Michael Langer

What is the general populations stance on using the undead for work? Do they see it as a blessing, that even when they pass on they can continue to serve their families and nation? Is necromancy generally shunned but seen as a necessity? Or is more neutral, just a custom that has cemented itself as "normal" with Karrnathi citizens wondering why other nations have problems with it?

Jeff H

Has the prevalence of necromancy influenced everyday magic in Karrnath? Like are there unique examples only found in Karrnath, or do your see the same stuff, just with a creepy flair--like the cleaning stone is shaped like a skull or something?
