My first active role was in the first Niselur: I wrote a roleplay when the general/marshal was wounded in battle against the undead and my character fought to his side to protect him; he got promoted to Vice-Marshal the next day. That got me bumped right up in the hierarchy when we started reclaiming regions in the Gaston area; being Astrum's banker was fun too, put a system in place to basically automate the whole process.
