			The players will be humans and dragons who are part of the peasant rebellion in Korea, on Jeju island at the southern tip of the peninsula. We will play at least 2 characters each. The game world is loosely based on Naomi Novik's ''Temeraire'' series of novels and its alternate history; ''His Majesty's Dragon'', ''Throne of Jade'', and ''Black Powder War''.

			The current source of campaign information is on a SocialText Wiki:

	If we follow the conventions of dragon naming in Novik's China, Chinese dragons would have three-part names starting with "Lung" (meaning "dragon"). Korean dragon names would start with "Yong" if we construct them the same way. Dragon geneologies may become important. For human names, here's an article on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_name Korean names]. Here is a good table with [http://www.babynamebox.com/korean-baby-names.html some Korean name elements and their meanings].
