What makes a D'haran?

[Penchant]

The man who said this has never met Julius.  ;)

I am quite sure he has but anyways its a Barcans in general, and in general Barcans are extremely quiet.

[Galvez]

It is true that Barca can be a quite place sometimes, because sometimes there is little going on. When there are no lords defecting, the Senate has nothing to quibble about.  ???

But back to D'hara, how many D'Harans does it take to change a light bulb?

Three.  One to sail to the mainland to hire someone to do it, one to complain about how much the food to feed the guy will cost, and one to secretly sail to the mainland to get hired to change it.

[Indirik]

No, it's a trick question. They spend so much money buying food they don't have enough money to buy a new bulb, let alone pay the electric bill. They'll never even notice it burned out.

At least that's what we want you to think anyways.

Unless its a Chénier, in which case the world revolves around him.

I need my bulb to write my letters through the night! I pay in corpses of starved lurian immigrants!  ;D

Loving your answers.  ;D

Everybody needs a kidney, every now and then. ;)

Definitely! Good to see you finally made a forum account. So I tried to cheat from doing real thinking for the council but I can't really use any of these answers to the council for obvious reasons.

I suppose part of the problem is that we have cultural powerhouses like Aurvandil and Luria to compare to. They both have cultural identities that the players RP their characters through naturally. D'Hara does not really have that, from what I've seen and heard, and some opinions about D'Hara have become as outdated as the wiki page.

I'd hoped this thread might shine some light on the subject. If it doesn't we'll just have to figure something else out IC.

You could just run with the existing outsider views. It's nice to have someone semi-villainous to outward appearance. Hoarding gold on your islands and making shady deals could lead to a very interesting merchant based culture, Venezia comes to mind.

The Long Winter sort of put a kink in our gold-hoarding efforts, but I see where your coming from. So, continuing this line of thought, what adjectives would you use to characterize the Venetian merchants you refer to? Good, bad, whatever.
