Far East Island / Re: So You Want To Join The Far East - An Overview of the Realms

Several successive generations of nobles went by and only a handful of the original group from Lasanar + allies remained (of whom James was one of the youngest). I left, came back, then left for good, as most of the people that founded Cathay along with me (and upon whom I depended quite a lot at the time) left BM in 2007 or 2008 for various reasons, mostly due to disagreements over the higher-level part of the game requiring a huge amount of time managing peasants rather than the intrigue and RP that made the 'almost but not quite there yet' portion of the game so much fun.
There were some pretty capable second-generation Cathayans holding down the fort for a long time, but when I was last there a year ago, it was already in a slow death spiral, but had good enough diplomatic relations that the actual death part didn't occur for a while.
Sorry about your adventurer. I don't remember throwing anybody in the dungeon when we first took Anacan but it's certainly quite possible that somebody did. A lot of the founding characters were pretty stark royalists who felt like adventurers were meant to be seen delivering the furniture and not heard.
