Hey there Helius, consider this your direct line to me :) I hope you have a lot of fun because you're getting the special role of ending the war. If you can end the war before either side wins, you win. Seem simple enough? Well, it's going to require you to talk to npc's and make certain actions and you've only got until, well, the game ends. I honestly have no idea when that will be. So, tomorrow when the game starts, you will be placed on the road between the two central cities for either side. Why do I tell you this? Because I'm preparing you to make a choice. Not a really big one, but you have to choose a side to go to first, humans or elves because your first objective is to make introductions with one of the races.
Also, I call you the Bretonnic Jester because you're half human, half elf. Also, you have a bit of a shield, because if either side kills you, it's practically a death sentence. Their morale will fall tremendously and their soldiers will stop fighting, essentially causing the other side to win. Anyways, you have an important job to do mister, you'd best start thinking about how you want to do it.
