As for Direction. This character didnt have any to begin with, Yes he had goals to achieve but they were attainable by many diffrent paths.
I wanted to mess about alot with the bartering/sell/trade side of things but alas I never got around to it. I also wanted to try for Kastellyn's tattoo trying to build the fabled legendary fame, I think I could of swung that one. Alas I never so the drunken bastard again. I thought about going tribunal, having entwine etc was always planned, and the dagger specialisation is so damn good (Hand to hand involvers closser blows than dagger and yet no damage on fails?). Empire would of been sweet, Imperial Defense and Haste + Conceal would of made a pretty mess of most things. The path he was drawn down by his solo ranking in Akan and numerous ganks was the path of the village. Once the course was set it was absoloute. The main thing I was aware of was that my playing times were only going to be about 10 hours a week, so I tried to maintain a more in the back, aging gracefully character. Someone who could give advice, boost morale, maybe lead the odd raid but nobody in the lime light.

I wrote up the Iborenn Punitive strike on drow city, never did feel like adding the whole thing to my role, I will perhaps post it.
