First - Thanks to all those who gave their opinions on my "What to Buy" post. As a result of your input I bought all the available issues of Tales of the Reaching Moon, a couple of issues of Trade Talk, Enclosure 1, Missing Lands, and King of Dragon Pass.

Now the Ralios questions. I was thinking of starting a campaign in the Eastern Wilds of Ralios. I have read the section in the Genertella Book on Ralios and have a few questions (I have just read it once so I may have missed something).

  1. I get no real sense of relations between the Orlanthi in the Hills and the civilized folks in the City States. Does anyone have some insight into this?
  2. There does not seem to be a real "enemy" in the region like the Lunars for Prax/Dragon Pass or the Kingdom of War for the Janube river cities. Does Ralios have anyone that fits that niche?
  3. Do the Orlanthi of Ralios have any contact with Orlanthi outside their region?
  4. Is there any Malkioni influence in the East Wilds Orlanthi culture?

Now the Herotland/Holy Country questions:

  1. How heavy is the Malkioni influence on the territory?
  2. Is sorcery common in the Herotland?
  3. I have read that the Solanthi have a Malkioni aristocracy in an Orlanthi population. How exactly can Malkioni and Divine Cults mix?
  4. When the Cults book shows a Malkioni influence in the Holy Country what exactly does that mean?

Bonus Question:

In Strangers in Prax it says that the Sorcerer Arlatern (or something like that) is probably the first sorcerer the players have ever seen. If Malkioni influence ends in the Herotland wouldn't it stand to reason that most Sartarites and many Praxians would have encountered sorcery?

Cheers,

Dave
