But the rules that were successfully enacted don't say that I *can't* create a 
character. Although my announcements have no rule-defined effects, the Dungeon 
Master decides the appropriate response to them.

Indeed. I was planning to add them by DM fiat, but didn't to avoid
ambiguity proliferation.

If the character Redgroat successfully arrived in the Province, I create a
Province character named Oscarosaurus, which is a Titanoceratops.

If any characters have successfully arrived in the Province,
Pythagorclid the Numerologist stumbles into the province.

Here's a brief character sheet:
* Knows every digit of Pi (but not their order)
* Supernaturally skilled at solving puzzles, but often mistakes normal
things for puzzles.
* Easily distracted by sequences of numbers.

I'm Speaker, lost Prime Minister after the proposal to conflict the
