Howdy Sharps!
Glad to see you take an interest, we always love to see new creative minds coming about. Not all our cities will be open next season, so you're choices may be a little bit smaller in a month. However each city in Mizahar is unique and interesting in their own ways. (If you check out the moderator list in the lore, you'll see which cities are moderated and will be open next season
.)
I'm partial to Riverfall, which is where you find my character. But the city is run by the powerful Akalak. While the Akalak are mostly an organized and disciplined race of warriors, they do have outcasts within the society that take in the darker jobs that the city needs, called the Cerulean. Not exactly barbarians, but an interesting subject of the race.
Let me know what you do when you get started, I look forward to seeing you around.
