That page is the main reason I'm even considering a game on the Castle Coast. If I'd had to make everything up from nothing, I dunno if I'd be brave enough. Thanks for that, and all of your Malkioni material.

Oh, that *is* good. I'll have to be careful not to go overboard, but a few reminders that even the "error-free heirs of Old Seshnela" have drifted over the years always make for some dumbfounded PCs.

Ohhhh yeah, this *was* during the God Learner Empire. I still don't like that theory. Seems a little pagan-y for folks from that far West to come saving some Earth Goddess...

Great! That's exactly what I was hoping to be the case. Suits my needs to a T. And I should've asked this initially, but are they Animists, Theists, Other (I doubt they're Wizards), or has this never been addressed? If I wanted the official Timinits, they're from the old RQ Bestiary, right?
