Lore Question About Karrakin Calvary College
Hi all,
Basically I am a first time GM so I wanted to pick a premade module to open my campaign since I figured that would be best for learning the rules. My campaign premise is basically that my players are being blackmailed into doing a few jobs for someone they don't want to work for. I picked Shadow of the Wolf because I wanted my campaign to be quite political so KTB seemed like a good setting for this, thus their blackmailer has also pulled strings to have them snuck into the Karrakin Calvary College so they could be more competent workers and also because he has a vested interest into the plot events of that operation which I won't say for spoiler reasons.
My question is first of all, are Karrakin Calvary College students like regular Earth college students in terms of age? Or is it more like military boot camp? Would it be weird if someone slightly older was enrolled, lore wise?
Second: Is running SOTW just a terrible idea or do you think it will be fine for a bunch of first-timers +1 experienced player.
Thanks!
