My DM wants to play a campaign set in Mystara. It seems a bit

Mystara is kinda like the Elder Scrolls, it may look bland at first glance, but once you scratch the surface it starts to get weird.

The guy who runs the black eagle barony (The duke's brother) is a dick, and even tried to invade the neighboring halfling country- But failed. He's escaped suspicion because the Duke doesn't believe he could be that evil.

Has your GM considered doing Darokin instead? There's an elven nation in the borders, and since they trade with everyone they have people everywhere.

our DM is pretty set on Karameikos. we're starting in Specularum working for Duke Steven. not sure where we're officially going from there but Darokin does sound cool though. I might have my half elf be from there

Looks like Ohio

If it's the DM who wants to run the game I don't see the problem. If you aren't interested in the setting then just have your character come from a non-descript village.
