This is going to go on for days, but anyone who wants to become involved can either side with Forlon, Aderon, or an anonymous group of mercenaries. You can also be a loner. Is your goal to recover Ethan's relic for your kingdom, to take it for your own profit, or to protect the two adventurers on their quest toward the east?
Remember that the desert is a contested region in the war between Aderon, Forlon, and Entarca. If you want to test your skills, everyone involved in the war should focus on claiming that region.
However, everybody can be involved. None of the "official" events right now will involve stats or equipment, so the battles can be entirely roleplayed unless you're trying to switch control over the region. I ask for the GMs' help with keeping things happening, just as long as you don't control Ethan and Gero.
Because the official stuff will be roleplayed, this will be a great opportunity for new players to start...
