Make a city in Calimshan a hometown

I want to play a Calishite human wizard so bad. However, upon looking at the hometown list, I see there's only Waterdeep, Zhentil Keep, Westgate and Silverymoon. The north and the east are covered... so what about the south of Faerun?

You can say your character's from just about anywhere. Where you have to start is a different story, since there's only so many places built in the game. You can make, RP wise, A calimshite (I have no idea how spelling works) wizard. But code wise you'd have to start at any of the ones listed because that's what's currently coded in game.

Is there a chance of getting another coded hometown? A city in Calimshan or maybe an other hometown for the drow?


A related question: is Evermeet a hometown? The help hometown says so, while the help Evermeet doesn't have the line about it being a hometown...

One more: if Westgate is a hometown for evil characters and I create an evil drow, why can't I pick Westgate as a hometown?

There is a chance of any of these things happening, but it's not likely to be any time soon. It would take a huge investment of time to build a new hometown and it is really neither necessary nor widely desired right now. I am focusing my efforts and the efforts of any volunteer builders on making new quest areas.

Specifically:
  • Calimshan was being built, but the builders took the city to their new game.
  • Drow only start in Menzo; hometown choices are offered on the basis of race and alignment both.
  • Evermeet is not a hometown.
Look forward to a new page on the website with total, current new character information. It is pending Mask's approval now.

Vielen Dank fur die Info, Harroghty!

I am therefore waiting for updated help and I will simply start this wizard from Waterdeep.
