I haven't read any of the books, but I have respect for those who can set up a roleplay that doesn't follow the same plotline but has a couple of it's events tangent the plot! It sounds awesome. I'd love to hear more about that.

Absolutely.

I'm generally opposed to magic (and non-magic shapeshifting) in any roleplay, no matter how fantastic. The fewest people can play a mage convincingly... most just get stuck in the whole "look at me, I can make objects float" aspect of it, and their character
personality is neglected. So I can understand how magic of any sort would be restricted! I just avoid fantasy completely these days.
The most fantastic character in Crimson Feather is the gamemaster character, Dread. Dread can invade people's dreams (it's an astral/electromagnetic phenomenom) and convince them of their own death. He's not a pleasant fellow, but his character is only interesting because of his
personality, which has far more depth than your average sociopath might...
At least I like to flatter myself with that thought. Not sure if the claim is right - I can't look at it from a truly outside perspective, afterall. Dread is bound by freeform rules, though, so he doesn't get to do anything to anyone without the OOC permission, or that it's required to "moderate" an IC action gone awry.

Oh, good!

Admittedly, I like the name... but not the translation!

Uh-oh. I'd love to help you in this regard, but I'm afraid I don't know enough about the world.
But if I think of anything that would work in a medieval setting off-hand, I'll be sure to post it.

What colours?

I think in the last version of Crimson Feather, I had 12 characters at one point. Only about four were seriously deep characters, though, the others were just character sheets of people who had some relevance to the plotline but were flat and were rarely played...
Just two characters would kill me, I think.
