General Knowledge

After delivering the long orientation speech Magus Torkas looks around the room to make sure he hasn't lost anyone "Now are there any questions that I may answer?"

Q.      Except for getting drafted by by the army, I've never been away from home, what's the world like out there?
A.      That's a complicated question. A short answer, different. For a better answer you can read my notes after the lecture.

Q.      How many religions are there?
A.      I believe there are four, but you will have to ask Magus Lintherm for more specific details.

Q.      I heard that the Orcs do spells differently.  Is that true?
A.      There are some slight differences between the Orc rune casting and our more traditional methods.  Charon can tell you all about that.

Q.      Why don't the Orcs just use a dispel magic on the barrier and destroy it?
A.      They have tried that tactic several times.   What happens is that it dispels the barrier for a moment, but the barrier regenerates swiftly on its own.  Even damaged, it only allows certain projectiles through at a high elevation.

Q.      How can the barrier re-generate so quickly, doesn't the rune dispel all magic thus destroying the barrier?
A.      That is a difficult question to answer especially considering the circumstances around its creation.  It is said amongst a few that the Goddess Gaea had something to do with this rune.  If that is the case then all bets are off.

Q.      Why is a war going on in the Valley of Peace?
A.      If you will recall not too long ago the village of Kimmersan was on the northern border between our lands and the Orc lands.  A horde of Orcs came down from the north and destroyed it utterly, they left no building standing, no man, woman, child or animal living in the area.  It was completely and utterly destroyed.  After several meetings the leaders of the three races banded together to make sure this never happens again.  Using our combined forces we send our armies deep into Orc territory to destroy the menace once and for all...and the rest is history.

Q.      So what’s the story behind all of the adventure and events that have been taking place?
A.      I wouldn’t know I’m just a researcher, ask Parawn he thinks he knows everything.
