Name:

Carl David Quaif

Residence:

Ruislip Manor, Middlesex, England

Birthdate:

April 10^th, 1968 (South Ruislip, Middlesex - moved far, haven't I? ;-)

Personal:

Recently married (1 year ago) to Jackie Quaif (nee Maycraft); no children

Occupation:

Civil Servant

Why?

I wish I knew...;-)

Now, on to the good stuff...

Length of Time Played in Mystara:

Over 15 years

Player or DM?

Both

OD&D or AD&D?

Both, but primarily oD&D (my first love! ;-)

Favourite Mystaran Nations:

Karameikos, Glantri, Wendar, Alfheim

Why?

Karameikos: because when I started playing, it was the whole world! ;-) - and I love the "traditional" feel of the country. Glantri: because it's a marvellous place to play, if you're a Mage - far more quirky and varied than Alphatia, IMO (although I love that, too...). Wendar: because it's been passed over for development, up 'til now, and therefore ripe for "mucking around with." (heh heh heh...) Alfheim (and Vyalia, Callarii, etc): because it's (in the words of Sam Gamgee) "ELVES, Sir!" ;-))

Favourite Mystaran Culture:

Pre-WotI Alfheim.

Why?

It blends the best of all the "traditional" Elf-cultures into something special. Destroying that culture during WotI is one thing I still haven't forgiven TSR for (boo).

What Else I Like:

Elves of all types, Magic (and Mages) of all types.

Other Worlds Played:

Faerun, Ansalon, Taladas, and a couple of home-brewed worlds - but never for long. I'm a Mystaran homebody. ;-)

So, who's Fahvarim, then?

Fahvarim's a character who pretty much created himself. :-) Shortly after my first few submissions to the Mystara Mailing List, I tried creating a "more interesting" Ring of Genie Summoning - and from there came the character of Fahvarim (whom you'll know all about, if you've checked out Fahvarim's Ring - you have, haven't you? ;-). When the lovely Jennifer Favia Guerra offered to create this wonderful web page for me, she asked for a name for the page. She suggested I use the name of one of my characters - and the djinn won! ;-)
