Thorir has been a dilemma for me for a while now: On the one hand, it would be OOC for him to not make him care about the Lonely Mountain and have him want to control the situation there to provide for his friends and family and the numbered. On the other hand, I'm a mod, and I really don't want to seem like I'm abusing my mod powers to further the influence of one of my characters...
Now, I have arrived at the idea to turn this dilemma on the head and use the fact that a character who has the potential of being of some influence for the developments in Las Vegas is in mod hands for the advantage of the plot there. For the next "local arc" in LV, he will take on a bit of an NPC role by being a catalyst for certain events. This month, that won't mean much yet: All that he will do is offer residence inside the mountain to anyone. But a little more is to come, but I will do my best to balance his role carefully.
I am not sure yet what exactly all of this will end up entailing, but I wanted to try and be transparent about it. If there are any thoughts/question/whatever regarding this, please leave it here. Thanks!
