Thanks to Alex for clearing up my geographical confusion. I'll have to shift the buggers...
I wrote it that what triggered Juliana's HeroQuest was reading the private diary of St Talor. (Which was also the McGuffin of the adventure I ran there. It gave details of how the Three Weapons were dispersed as well.) I assumed that Talor being a contemporary of Arkat, the first great HeroQuester, would know of such things but I'm willing to be corrected.
I'm puzzled though that he thinks them so similar to the Hrestoli. Perhaps from the point of view of a die-hard Rokari conservative there is little difference between the two but I wrote the Julianists so as to frighten the Hrestoli by showing them a culture that was more radical and open than theirs and which had the potential to be as expansionist as the Lunars. Perhaps I gave them too much open-mindedness, but I felt it was logical for them to take the first law of Malkion ("Love what the Creator has made.") to its logical conclusion.
As to the Trolls, the way you convert a troll is to bash the truth into his skull.
And onto another matter. So the Sedalpists == the Castle Coasters? Where can I find more details of their culture? In a back issue of the Digest?
