My reply
I came up with the super magic effect as a reason that the Orlanthi were able to hold out against such odds for so long. When I ran the assault on WW by Tatius after he turned up, the attack was on a full moon, with magicians and moon boats filled with Lunar champions. The Orlanthi gave them a pasting, and continued to do so, almost driving them off. Hence the very large military and magical build up over the next year and a half or so.

Rob
