some updates moving the page beyond the "planning" phase

a bit of a blurb of where people are at in Locke, but mostly just
rewording some stuff now that we're not in "organizing new game" mode,
but rather "game that is moving" mode

# Emerald Flame
Emerald Flame is a PBEM Cypher System campaign set in my "house" setting of [Etravar](../etravar/index.md). I run my
campaigns pretty free-form, with setting details filled in by everyone as we go, so there's no premeditated plot to
start with, other than exploring a high fantasy game and seeing where it takes us.
I'll fill this page in as the game progresses, but for now, here's some starting and organizing information.
Emerald Flame is a PBEM Cypher System campaign set in bss's "house" setting of [Etravar](../etravar/index.md).
## Characters
* Asal Vorkut is an inquisitive explorer who hunts, with a combat flavor.
* Dax Crestfall is a kind and learned mage [adept] who remembers the past.
* Gegren Ile is a tough helborn adept who crafts unique objects, with a skills and knowledge flavor.
* Ni'Oth "Nia" Di'Arnay is a mysterious elf guardian [adept] who slays monsters, with a combat flavor.
* Asal Vorkut is an inquisitive explorer who hunts, with a combat flavor (CKeen).
* Dax Crestfall is a kind and learned mage [adept] who remembers the past (Oz).
* Gegren Ile is a tough helborn adept who crafts unique objects, with a skills and knowledge flavor (Mike).
* Ni'Oth "Nia" Di'Arnay is a mysterious elf guardian [adept] who slays monsters, with a combat flavor (Murph).

I have successfully run games in established settings, such as the Forgotten Realms, but I tend not to hew too close to
the setting canon, so for this campaign, I'm going to use the setting that I have just started putting some bones
together for, and as we play, we'll provide more detail based on our wants and needs. The link above includes said bones
and whatever else we've defined to this point --- at its briefest, Etravar is a high fantasy campaign setting, with some
in-world justification for embracing weird stuff to encounter and explore.
We'll start in a small town in Trezuria, which we can figure out the details of as we start creating characters with
backgrounds. Assume there's a new weird anomaly in the area that you're interested in for whatever reason.
In the western region of Trezuria, just south of the great mountain range that crosses the length of the continent, lies
the Mystvil region, a fairly remote region somewhat disconnected from the greatest advances in magitech experienced
elsewhere on the continent. However, a strange phenomenon has struck the region, causing the party to assemble and
explore the site of an unnatural blue light that erupted from the earth around Locke.
