The current ideas are still pretty fluid, but here's what we have so far. Any ideas? Cast of characters I'll post some more details as I find them: [This message has been edited by Jayhawk (edited 05-14-2001 @ 07:29 AM).]
- the story will be set somewhen during the Pax Romana, we never actually fixed a date for when Civis lived. I don't remember which of the PR links best with the events ancient China. Emperor Hadrian's age sounds like a nice period.
- Civis and Jayhawk will end up in China, probably taking the long road there. However else wants to come along is welcome.
- a possible reason to go there is that the Emperor has laid his hands on some silk, through India, and want to get more. Civis could be sent as an ambassador.
- alternatively, in a plot similar to last, a jade statue ends up in Civis' posession. Jayhawk tells him it shoul dbe returned to China. (I like this one
