[HQ Ignorance] Re : Scene Eleven: Building the Hero Band

[Nic Hughes]

Loran,

I would be perfectly happy for Azhur to be the bearer of our Guardian if 
that is how things work out. Someone will usually have greater contact 
with a hero band's guardian than the others and I have no problem with 
it being your character. Whether that fits in with your character 
concept is more the question.

If we are happy to go along with this then I would think the best way 
would be to find some spot significant to Talor and to perform a 
heroquest there. Whether the guardian we end up with is the banner or 
something else will then come out of play rather than an OOC 
conversation - which is how I would prefer it.

So that would leave us with trying to come up with a story of St Talor 
and how he found some form of guidance or inspiration - preferably 
whilst on his travels as that is what we will be doing.

Or am I wildly off-beam here?

Nic
