Too true.

Into hiding - IMO either among the Quivin Peaks, or among the Starfire Ridges. Does anybody know where Eagle Peak is?
For the Starfire Ridges I cite the Orlmarth clan's by-name "Keeper of Secrets".

I subscribe to this view as well, but with slight differences:

I still believe htat he brought back a kernel of the clan _through_ the other side.

And anybody with pet theories, make them known...
>Truestone
As I read the description, unset Truestone will suck in the divine spell knowledge of the first individual touching it. Slave bracelets might protect against this, but IMO generally the victim will lose all divine magic he or she knew. This might render a priest useless for his community (if he loses hold of the Truestone). And he won't be able to refill it until he relearned the spell.
I am not sure whether a spell refilled into a set Truestone will be refreshable before used from the Truestone. I tend to say no...
How to realize this with Runepower is beyond me, though...
