Why would what I wrote for Daenaram and Vaexarius be fine for the game? They define all sorts of things, setting them in stone - people have just seemed to gloss over that fact by saying that what I have written doesn't affect anyone. Of course it does - the Barony would have record of the dispersion of the Ahnbree and Clan Firestorm and it's members would be known and recognised by the college. However, as no records exist at all, the Ahnbree were never there, and neither was the border. Clan Firestorm lived in a glade that was perpendicular to the rest of the universe, and even though many guards and mages had come out of it, Vaexarius was the first to show up as he dropped out of the fourth dimension and into existence.
So, someone wanting to live fairly near me and have endless fields should talk to me about the area I live in? About the area I unequivocally defined? Surely they shouldn't have to, because I shouldn't have mapped that area of the Barony in the first place? How dare I take the vagueness out of fifty square miles of the map, with an orchard and rolling hill views surrounding House Fortrayre. They shouldn't have to play up to what I created - this is the entire thrust of why my NPC backgrounds were asked to be changed.
Where I came from defines the direction I am going. The speed I was moving at in the immediate history defines how fast I progress. If I start with no history, I am going from a standing start in no particular direction, which is what happens when someone is born. My characters were born respectively 223, 457 and 29 years ago, and had been progressing up until the point they started missions. Why should I start them from a dot rather than a line?
