Re: Ra'Shala Emporium [Small Group RP Idea]
Those are all very good questions, especially the ones about the weather/climate and the technology level. I could easily add in a few comments that would answer those, perhaps a paragraph on the Great Library and Institute (which totally needs a new name, horrible at names). I could add a bit more detail to the Veratis, Qinqu or Government sections, which should answer anything important about foreign wars, law enforcement, the justice system and possible trade/currency within the Empire.
Of course, the last time I even wanted to mention actual currency (for a short, unimportant haggling scene), I went into farrrrrr too much detail, and developed a rather complex system of multiple coin sizes, metals and values, plus the conversion between all kinds of coins. Fun times, fun times...
Hmmmm...as for non-sentient magical creatures and how magic is used throughout the Empire...hmm... Creatures, not sure of, although I know that Dragons are extinct (and were very sentient). I sort of figure, at least for creatures, that anything that is magical is rare/semi-sentient at best, and that any other creature is standard Earth creature, although obviously this takes place on another world, with its own geography and history. Hmmm. I can add a comment or two about the roles magical creatures fill, I guess, somewhere in the government section. Yeah...talk about the Council of Greater and Lesser Clans a bit more, since I figure some people will be playing mages or magical creatures.
I can easily add all of that to the first post, although more details on any of that would technically belong in a WGE (World Glossary Encyclopedia) which is a collaborative collection of all added details to the world that are revealed throughout the roleplay, as well summaries and mini-profiles of recurring NPCs or side characters. I'll add what I can here, but the rest will belong in a WGE if it gets built. right. time for another edit.
