There are almost innumerable options in running a BIRTHRIGHT campaign and it would be nigh impossible to try to incorporate all of them into one campaign. You, as the DM, must decide how to set up your version and incorporate the things that you think will make it special and unique. No two DMs will have the same two ways of running a campaign and no one way is the correct one to use. Keep in mind that as a DM it is your campaign, do what you think is best and what you think advances the story in the most appropriate way. The only advice is to be consistent. Do not suddenly change the rules on your players. Keep them informed whenever you decide that a rule change is in order and give them enough time to adjust to the new way.
