Heh good to see you again Silverfire.
You've missed all the fun. Should have been there when Kurlock was alive
I'd recommend EC to be honest. EC feels like it is the most vibrant place at the moment. I'd think carefully on which realm to join.
If you want inter-realm politics, I'd recommend Vix Tiramora. If you want to join a small realm fighting for its own survival, I'd recommend either Fallangard or DSS.
