Have enjoyed the background material. I was going to try to make a few Dardarrian troopers for fun.
What sort of star is a "Dardarrian Star" 4 pointed? 5,6,7,8?
Why isn't it Dardarrickian? (laughing)
Also are Tomar and Tomarsson human? (It never mentions their race) On page 46 it says 125 years of theocratic rule came to an end. I would assume Tomar was at least middle aged when he took over, and even if he had a child in his 80s (Thank you magick of Viagra) Tomarrson would have to be venerable now. Or is their logevity part of the mystery?
It also mentions Dardarrians using magic for mundane tasks such as lighting candles and doing laundry. Does this mean that even commoners have access to minor magical powers? Or do young mages run around doing this? Just wondering if Dardarrian citizen wraiths would have such minor "cantrip" powers as well?
Dragonborn in Dardarrick. Are they all descended fromteh mercs brought by Tomar? I see there are new naval conscripts. How long does one have to reside in Dardarrick to gain citizenship?
Are all the warforged the remnants of the 100 built by Tomar? Are new WF being built anywhere? Are the Warforged suspect do tot eh fact their "programing" was crafted by followers of Praxius?
My reading of the faith of Praxious makes me wonder about it's "evil" allignement. It depsises undead, not such a bad thing. Says the strong should rule the weak, also a tenent of many modern governments that are not really evil. Heck "Might makes Righ" was King Aurthur's rallying cry!
"Force others to help themselves," Charity is bad- well that sounds like most of the Conservatives in OUR political system (I guess one might argue they are evil too!!! Wink) If Lawful Neutral still existed I'd put them there, except their main tenent is freedom, which leans towards the personal freedom mindset of chaos. Yet if the strong rule over the weak, who gets freedom then? Seems like he is a conflicted deity (But aren't they all in some ways?)
What manner of afterlife is there in this world? Does each deity have their own afterlife? Is their punishment for wickedness, or do the evil gods reward their followers for adhering to their tenents?
Maybe I read the section on Lorn too quickly, but are they basically "godless"? They seemed to have turned their back on the All Father and Matriarias, do they have Clerics and Paladins and if so who do they worship? If one met a Lornish patrol would they have any divine practitioners?
Do the demi humans of this world have their own pantheon or do they worship the main deities as well?
Could a secret follower of Praxious ever make it into the wraiths or is their screening process strenuous enough to ferret that out through divination and other methods?
I know this is a lot of stuff, but I fell asleep reading this last night and this si the stuff that percolated through my dreams!
