conversations:  Here is some information of the world
  
   Landscape of the world 
  There is one main country in the world. It is called "Arhi", meaning the beginning. Its capital is the the Great City, which lies in the centre of the country. In the centre of the capital the Great Castle exists. There are the Emperors that rule the world. Around the main country there are various smaller countries, each under the rule of the Emperors.
  There are seas in the world but all the known ones are inland.
  So imagine a huge piece of land in which a lot of countries exist. The main one, Arhi and a lot significant smaller ones. Around the space where civilization exists there are mountains, some covered with ice and clouds, other with lava and smoke. Or chaotic deserts which only fools and the dead pass. In a few words terrain that no civilization can prosper. Not tottaly impassable, but only done by few brave fools.
  
   Heaven and Hell 
  Up in the Sky there is Heaven, known as the land of clouds. It is a place of harmony and peace. Angels mostly inhabit it. It is a place which defenders of good lie in order to keep the balance from the forces of evil. Which lie in Hell.
  Hell is an underground place located somewhere in the world. Demons and devils live there. It is believed to be a place of high heat and lava. Demons and devils often interfere with intelligent creatures misguiding them and tricking them. Even just enslaving or killing them.
  
   Gods 
  All gods in WoC exist. Gods are a mystery in the world. There exact essence or origin is not known. Some say they are just a race, naturally superior from the rest. Other say they are just powerful individuals that have optained great knowledge of Magic. The sure thing is that they exist and they are powerful, but not omnipotent or omniscient. The live in the world, beyond civilization where land is almost impassable for other creatures. The often reveal their wills to the world. They lend their power, their divine magic, to their worthy followers most often clerics.
  Their origin, the "how somebody can become a god" and their purpose in the world is a great mystery. Many have tried to solve it. Usually powerful creatures or great wizards. But their findings and their knowledge is not commonly known. The knowledge about gods is called "The Mystic Knowledge".
  Gods otherwise rarely interfere with the world. They usually only contact high ranked clerics and individuals are generally free to worship them or not.
  
   Laws of the land 
  The Emperors rule the land. Their race is not known. They always lie in the Great Castle which is not accessable by anybody. The Emperors communicate through magical ways in which they reveal their will. The Great Castle holds a great military army and no one is fullish enough to rebel against it. The Emperors take well care that no other city or country optains so much power in order to oppose them. That is their First Law. Even when individuals optain mystic knowledge or great power they are questioned and handed by imperial forces.
  Apart from that they are just and they don't interfere with the laws of each individual country. As long as they pay their taxes and report to the Emperors a country is free to flourish. Even wars are allowed, but the Emperors must allow it.
  
   Races 
  There are many races in the land. In the main country, Arhi, there are all kind of intelligent races. All live in harmony since ther are strict laws, especially within the Great City.
  The other countries though are completely different. Usually there is one dominate race. Some races are even banned to cross some lands. Orcs and dwarves for example are known enemies. Racism and xenophobia exists in these countries. There are countries for most known intelligent races. Though most creatures just live in the wilderness.
  Some intelligent races, like Dragons, don't have a country at all. The have cities though which are well known for their glory.
  
   Magic 
  Magic is a science known by few. Wizards are the scientists and try to figure out how it works. Magic is commonly mistaken with Ether. Ether is the essence, the material, which is shaped in many ways. Ether exists all around the world. All magic is the same. It involves using ether to interfer or shape reality. Divine magic is lended to individuals by Gods, which are known to hold great knowledge of magic.
  Magic is also used by the city mayors and offcials. They used it to teleport to other places for example. Or to protect castles and the city walls.
  The Great Castle holds magic beyond imagination though. The history of the world says that the Great Castle was not built, but found. It helped create the first civilization. The Emperors and their wizards, the Redhoods, hold the magic of the Great Castle.
  
   Shopping Therapy 
  Regular non-magical items are sold at 20% of their initial price and a shop won't generally buy everything, just what it needs. Magic items are sold on 30-70% their normal price.
  There are three kind of shops/merchants
   Big shops 
  These shops offer a big variety of things and are willingly to buy items. They buy magic items on 30%-50%. They make sure the gold you give them is correct and real. Also, you can not get a discount when buying items.
   Small shops 
  These shops don't have a big variety, usually they specialize on somethings or you order specific items from them. They buy magic items usually on 40%-60% depending on their money available. They make sure the gold you give them is correct and real.
   Merchants or other individuals 
  Merchants only have a few items. They rarely buy magic items. If they do though they might buy them from 50%-70%
  
   Diplomacy and shopping 
  -You may make a diplomacy check to get better prices for selling items.
  DC 25: You sell magic items on a +10% of their minimum prices the merchant/shop would buy them
  DC 30: You sell magic items on a +20% their minimum prices the merchant/shop would buy them

   Personality 
  He's a brash, feisty and charismatic warlord that ran a small goblin tribe before a (Insert race here) Slaver Party stole them all away. He is resourceful when it comes to diplomacy and intimidation, having been able to divert entire armies by schmoozing with their generals, or absorbing smaller goblin bands into his tribe by intimidation. While he isn't a scholar, he is a rather learned Hobgoblin.
  
   Mannerisms and Appearance 
  Grithmak is covered with a ruddy-brown skin, and has darker brownish-red hair. His armor is quite polished, his shield and axe as well. His shield carries the symbol of Kord on it, while his axe, which he calls Head Slasher, is covered in a crust of blood from many previous battles. His armor and weapons are steel, and were taken from a glorious battle with thieves and brigands who were taking his people's Boars. He got his lightning-shaped scar, which goes from the top of his right cheek to its bottom, from the ensuing battle. The tribe's shaman called it a sign of Kord's strength and that Grithmak was blessed from it. His eyes are a deep yellow and allow for low-light vision.
  
   Background 
  Grithmak was once a leader of a tribe of Goblins, called the Stormfist Tribe. He was leader, with his sister as a head warlock. While she had a dream of uniting the Goblins into their own nation, his dreams were more simple: rule his tribe and hope nothing big happened. His tribe lived in a mountainous area, which was also a den of thieves and slavers. He and his tribe often did battle with bands of Slavers who saw opportunity in taking some of Grithmak’s kin for markets unknown. Even his most prized possessions, his battle boars, were not left alone. They were stolen by a rival tribe of Orcs many times over many months. Grithmak decided enough was enough and went to battle with the Orcs. During his fight with the Chieftain of the Orcs, Grithmak was cut on his face. After the battle, which was indeed a victory, Grithmak’s shaman was astonished. The scar was in the shape of a bolt of lightning, a sign of Kord’s power. He was, the Shaman said, to be a great leader. But only a month after the battle, his entire tribe of Goblins, were stolen in the night by a band of slavers with a wizard in their midst. When he woke up, he was stunned to see that nobody was left, save his sister and him. They set off to find a new tribe, and along the way met other people on a quest…

  Personality, Mannerism &amp; Appearance and Background
   
   Spoiler 
  
   Personality 
  From the day she was born Goreliet was told she was a destined soul, that she was special and that her contributions would bring about the great prophesised hobgoblin nation, she has been humbled by her own importance, rather than become arrogant or self-centred because of it, she is somewhat aloof and often quite contemplative, a side-effect of being in constant contact with her ancestors via vestiges. She often talks to them, asking for guidance, others might see this as talking to herself or the gods. She loves her brother Grithmak dearly, and though he does not have her great vision for a Goblinoid nation, she knows he will play a vital role in it's genesis.
  
   Mannerisms and Appearance 
  Goreliet has had a much more sheltered and priveleged lifestyle than her borhter and so she is somewhat more genteel looking, she has soft olive-brown skin, covered in thin baby like hair, her head is crown by thick auburn dreadlocks. Her armor is a soft leather breastplate worn over thick blue everyday robes, she also has a set of cermonial dress robes, reserved for special occasions. She has lightning-shaped birthmarks on both thighs, though few get to see them, and her face and arms are heavily tatooed, with shamanic vestige symbol. Her eyes, like her brothers, are a deep golden yellow.
  
   Background 
  The fall of the Stormfist Tribe was prophesised, as was the survival of the Hobgoblin siblings, it also said they would walk amongst the human lands to forge their own country from war and diplomacy, that they would earn the right to their own lands through feats of arms and glorious deeds...
