If a player can change the regent from the one listed in the book some far
fetched off the wall concept.

Also another big one is they don`t believe the current regent has a good
enough bloodline and want to change the bloodline to a better strength.

Some questions that came to my mind:

What character can I play?
(e.g. only take over an existing character of an existing realm from
Ruins of Empire, OR create ANY character who gets to
control the the "Barony of Moor" which consists out of the four northern
provinces of Alamie and is a totally new realm)

The same bloodline as the regent in the Ruins (for history and tradition
and familiar bloodlines among family) - or
a customized bloodline which noone has in the entire region?

Am I in control only of my character and only can give orders to my
lieutenants, hirelings and perhaps family members - or do I as the
player directly control all of them, so that I may be part of an
adventure while my regent does a domain action sitting on his throne?

Common questions:

* Can I be a half-dragon?
* Can I be a dragon?
* Can I have a dragon as my cohort?
* Are we rolling attributes or using point-buy?
* Can I be evil?
* Do I have to be blooded?
* Why can`t we just continue our last campaign?
* Can I use the Epic Level Handbook?
* Are we using the PHB Ranger or Monte Cook`s Ranger?
* What do you mean I can`t use Energy Substitution from Tome & Blood?!
* Well, then, can`t my gnome monk just come from somewhere else?
* As part of my background I used my Travel ability to steal the treasury,
ok?
* Can I write all my own spell descriptions instead of using the PHB?
* Can we use feats from the Forgotten Realms book?
* My character won`t need to talk much, right?
* Who`s got the Mountain Dew?

You forgot Kender and Minotaurs! ;-)

Or at least a pseudo-dragon with the Improved Familiar feat?

What is the Mountain Dew?
