I do rather want to play an amber wizard, and noble blood is a good choice, but I'd much prefer Taal and Talabecland. Taal doesn't get as much screentime as Ulric while also being very appropriate for an amber wizard. Talabecland is the centre of Taal worship and has an interesting city.
 
But can I suggest what about ocean amber wizard
Nordland's a much better choice for that. Salzenmund has a strong maritime tradition (in no small part because of its ancestral viking settlers) and is where the Second Fleet is stationed, and the city has an entire book dedicated to it.

EDIT: Manann's a better god for ocean wizard than Ulric.

I suppose I can give this a try, as a treat.

I'm not a whole fan of the savage wood hermit aesthetic, but heiress buried in a horde of doggos could be funni too.
 
Im still hoping myrmidia girl wins the wizard knight-girl aesthetic would rule

Would you mind changing Otto to Ottilia? I intend on playing a female protagonist in this quest.
 
Honestly, my main dislike of Amber Wizards usually is that it's the one Wind that seems to universally pigeonhole you in a way none of the other ones were, because apparently the only Beasts that matter are apex predators.

Most of the other Winds have a number of interpretations even if you can drift one way or another, and the Arcane Marks are "Some are good, some are bad", the Amber College meanwhile is dealing with virtually every one of their Arcane Marks being a Problem (Even if they don't see it as such.) Even the 4th edition lore straight up goes "Yeah, Amber Colleges aren't plugged into the same patronage network the others are, they're hobos who live out in the woods and sometimes kidnap random children with magical potential to raise them as new Amber Wizards., they don't even have a formal College like the others do.")

I'm really hoping this story ends up being a redemption story for that, rather than just "Yes, all the stereotypes are objectively right for the Amber Order, and they have no interest in changing that, every single one of them is a half feral hermit and there are no exceptions because Ghur does exactly one thing, and that's Apex Predator Predation."
