&lt;br /&gt;
=Playing in a game with roots in Colonialism=&lt;br /&gt;
The valley in which play will be centered has seen over 3000 years of colonial history, which includes the domination of the region by a colonial empire. That empire collapsed and left the region for 820 years before returning nearly 350 years ago. Three cultural groups (two non-human and foreign to the region, one human and native to the region) have been assimilated into the dominant culture and possess citizenship, though are denied the highest echelons of political power. The human cultural group native to the region has a resistance movement. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;ruins&#039; we will be exploring contain a number of factions and cultures of various descent. The majority of wealth extraction that occurs in the game will be directed at the ancient ancestors of the dominant colonial power, though some will be of other foreign, non-native cultures (though they now make this place their home). We will not be stealing cultural artifacts or wealth from the native population.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The history of this sort of game is rooted in unexamined privilege and the oppression of native peoples. We will make a conscious effort to conduct our play with intent to dismantle the worst of that. To that effect, I have made some alterations to the module, and am open to your ideas of other alterations that we should employ.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=The Archontean Empire=&lt;br /&gt;
The Archontean Empire was formed nearly 3000 years ago on the island of Mithruin with the Compact of Ennius (0 AEP), and colonized lands east to the Grain Islands, north to a foothold in the Borealios islands, and west to the continent of Irthuin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Its first period of colonization was from 850 AEP to 1680 AEP, thirteen hundred years ago, before the Empire retracted into a dark age from 1900 AEP to 2400 AEP after a civil war. It shrunk its holdings back to Mithruin and the Grain Islands, losing much of its ancient knowledge in the process. A period of military expansion in 2450 AEP saw it re-enter a colonial period, returning to the Irthuin continent in 2639 AEP and re-establishing its dominance in Arcturos and Narsileon. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The year is now 2993 AEP (AEP = &#039;from the pact of Ennius&#039;), 350 years after the Archontean return to the continent.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Gosterwick (Vetucaster)===&lt;br /&gt;
The tiny Thorcin community of Gosterwick located at the base of the cliff and falls of Arden Vul was claimed by Lady Alexia Basileon and a sept of the Knights of the Azure Shield in 2968 AEP (25 years ago). The knights restored an ancient fortress, naming it the Azure Keep. Lady Alexia renamed the community Vetucaster and expanded it rapidly, offering residence, citizenship, and services to merchants, craftsmen, and adventurers. The current population bears a high proportion of adventurer-oriented businesses: sellers and buyers of curios, general sutlers, trainers, etc. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Population: 2,211 (40% Archontean, 40% Thorcin, 15% Wiskin, and 5% demi-human [primarily halflings and imperial goblins]).&lt;br /&gt;

=Playing in a game with roots in Colonialism=&lt;br /&gt;
The valley in which play will be centered has seen over 3000 years of colonial history, which includes the domination of the region by a colonial empire. That empire collapsed and left the region for 820 years before returning nearly 350 years ago. Three cultural groups (two non-human and foreign to the region, one human and native to the region) have been assimilated into the dominant culture and possess citizenship, though are denied the highest echelons of political power. The human cultural group native to the region has a resistance movement. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;ruins&#039; we will be exploring contain a number of factions and cultures of various descent. The majority of wealth extraction that occurs in the game will be directed at the ancient ancestors of the dominant colonial power, though some will be of other foreign, non-native cultures (though they now make this place their home). We will not be stealing cultural artifacts or wealth from the native population.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The history of this sort of game is rooted in unexamined privilege and the oppression of native peoples. We will make a conscious effort to conduct our play with intent to dismantle the worst of that. To that effect, I have made some alterations to the module, and am open to your ideas of other alterations that we should employ.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=The Archontean Empire=&lt;br /&gt;
The Archontean Empire was formed nearly 3000 years ago on the island of Mithruin with the Compact of Ennius (0 AEP), and colonized lands east to the Grain Islands, north to a foothold in the Borealios islands, and west to the continent of Irthuin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Its first period of colonization was from 850 AEP to 1680 AEP, thirteen hundred years ago, before the Empire retracted into a dark age from 1900 AEP to 2400 AEP after a civil war. It shrunk its holdings back to Mithruin and the Grain Islands, losing much of its ancient knowledge in the process. A period of military expansion in 2450 AEP saw it re-enter a colonial period, returning to the Irthuin continent in 2639 AEP and re-establishing its dominance in Arcturos and Narsileon. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The year is now 2993 AEP (AEP = &#039;from the pact of Ennius&#039;), 350 years after the Archontean return to the continent.&lt;br /&gt;

===Gosterwick (Vetucaster)===&lt;br /&gt;
The tiny Thorcin community of Gosterwick located at the base of the cliff and falls of Arden Vul was claimed by Lady Alexia Basileon and a sept of the Knights of the Azure Shield in 2968 AEP (25 years ago). The knights restored an ancient fortress, naming it the Azure Keep. Lady Alexia renamed the community Vetucaster and expanded it rapidly, offering residence, citizenship, and services to merchants, craftsmen, and adventurers. The current population bears a high proportion of adventurer-oriented businesses: sellers and buyers of curios, general sutlers, trainers, etc. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Population: 2,211 (40% Archontean, 40% Thorcin, 15% Wiskin, and 5% demi-human [primarily halflings and imperial goblins]).&lt;br /&gt;

gain access to the records and inner workings of any noble&lt;br /&gt;
court or government I encounter. I know who&lt;br /&gt;
the movers and shakers are, whom to go to for the favors&lt;br /&gt;

- If I&#039;m not incapacitated, I can add my shield&#039;s AC bonus to any Dex save I make against a spell or other harmful effect that targets only me.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
- If I&#039;m subjected to an effect that allows me to make a Dex save to take only 1/2 damage, I can use my reaction to take no damage if I succeed on the save.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Trait 1:&#039;&#039;&#039; Unfailingly polite.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Trait 2:&#039;&#039;&#039; Curious about Faerunian customs.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Ideal:&#039;&#039;&#039; Honor. It is the unbreakable armor of the self.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Bond:&#039;&#039;&#039; My lost love Li Mei, away beyond the great inland sea.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Flaw:&#039;&#039;&#039; Prone to bouts of red anger. An undesired trait in the courts of Shou Lung, and a constant source of shame.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=History=&lt;br /&gt;
It is my great honor to be Lao Xiaobo, liaison to the Barbaric West in His Most Powerful Celestial Majesty&#039;s Ministry of State, and attendant to the Most Worthy Deputy Minister of Foreign Trade Wan Li Wen. To my everlasting sorrow, Master Wan has recently perished -- the victim of extreme exertion in the act of lovemaking. The Deputy Minister did so enjoy availing himself of Lord Piergeiron&#039;s hospitality in this manner, and few are the escorts in the Paladinson&#039;s employ who did not recognize the nobly plump visage of Wan Li Wen.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a dutiful servant of the Mandarinate of Shou Lung, I have spent countless hours at my master&#039;s side in the court of the Open Lord&#039;s palace, amazed and agape at the rituals of courtly life here in this western metropolis. It seemed to me that Master Wan took little interest in his solemn duty to facilitate trade between the Uttermost West and mighty Shou Lung, may the Emperor strike me down for saying so. While the minister took his leisure in the pleasure houses of the Castle Ward, I learned all I could of the intricate dance of favors, politics, and intrigue that defined power among the elite.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In my own spare time, I have studied the western martial arts of the long sword and shield with the renowned master Myrmith Splendon in the Trades Ward. I find the style crude but brutally effective, and Splendon has remarked on my aptitude.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I must admit that I have become more and more enamored of these western barbarians and their unrefined customs. I find myself in a state of diplomatic limbo here in the palace, bereft of the Deputy Minister. Lord Piergeiron has been accommodating and gracious, but I yearn to test my western steel against a worthy foe, and to experience the full breadth of life here in the forgotten West. Adventure awaits on the streets of Waterdeep, and I fear I lack the discipline to resist its siren call.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

gain access to the records and inner workings of any noble&lt;br /&gt;
court or government I encounter. I know who&lt;br /&gt;
the movers and shakers are, whom to go to for the favors&lt;br /&gt;
I seek, and what the current intrigues of interest in&lt;br /&gt;
the group are.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Class==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Fighting Style (Dueling):&#039;&#039;&#039; +2 damage when wielding melee one-handed.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Second Wind:&#039;&#039;&#039; Bonus action to regain 1d10+ftr level hp. Rest recharge.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Feats=&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Shield Master&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
- If I take lhe Attack action on my turn, I can use a bonus aclion to try to shove a creature within 5 feet of me with my shield.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
- If I&#039;m not incapacitated, I can add my shield&#039;s AC bonus to any Dex save I make against a spell or other harmful effect that targets only me.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
- If I&#039;m subjected to an effect that allows me to make a Dex save to take only 1/2 damage, I can use my reaction to take no damage if I succeed on the save.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=Personality=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Trait 1:&#039;&#039;&#039; Unfailingly polite.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Trait 2:&#039;&#039;&#039; Curious about Faerunian customs.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Ideal:&#039;&#039;&#039; Honor. It is the unbreakable armor of the self.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Bond:&#039;&#039;&#039; My lost love Li Mei, away beyond the great inland sea.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Flaw:&#039;&#039;&#039; Prone to bouts of red anger. An undesired trait in the courts of Shou Lung, and a constant source of shame.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=History=&lt;br /&gt;
It is my great honor to be Lao Xiaobo, liaison to the Barbaric West in His Most Powerful Celestial Majesty&#039;s Ministry of State, and attendant to the Most Worthy Deputy Minister of Foreign Trade Wan Li Wen. To my everlasting sorrow, Master Wan has recently perished -- the victim of extreme exertion in the act of lovemaking. The Deputy Minister did so enjoy availing himself of Lord Piergeiron&#039;s hospitality in this manner, and few are the escorts in the Paladinson&#039;s employ who did not recognize the nobly plump visage of Wan Li Wen.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a dutiful servant of the Mandarinate of Shou Lung, I have spent countless hours at my master&#039;s side in the court of the Open Lord&#039;s palace, amazed and agape at the rituals of courtly life here in this western metropolis. It seemed to me that Master Wan took little interest in his solemn duty to facilitate trade between the Uttermost West and mighty Shou Lung, may the Emperor strike me down for saying so. While the minister took his leisure in the pleasure houses of the Castle Ward, I learned all I could of the intricate dance of favors, politics, and intrigue that defined power among the elite.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In my own spare time, I have studied the western martial arts of the long sword and shield with the renowned master Myrmith Splendon in the Trades Ward. I find the style crude but brutally effective, and Splendon has remarked on my aptitude.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I must admit that I have become more and more enamored of these western barbarians and their unrefined customs. I find myself in a state of diplomatic limbo here in the palace, bereft of the Deputy Minister. Lord Piergeiron has been accommodating and gracious, but I yearn to test my western steel against a worthy foe, and to experience the full breadth of life here in the forgotten West. Adventure awaits on the streets of Waterdeep, and I fear I lack the discipline to resist its siren call.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
