Just finished the Clan generation from the Sartar book. I have plenty of questions.

Here goes....(Deep breath)

Runes: Greatest amount of checks to least amount. Air(5), Fire(5), Earth(3), Movement(1), Harmony(1)

What do I do with these?

What is a wyter? The questionnaire says that the clan has magical abilities related to Questions 4,5,8,9,10,11,12,and 15. How does it Manifest? What are it's runes? Patron? Thunder Brothers? Heroquest Secret?

The clan knows a specific myth about how it was almost exterminated by the Great Fire.

What is that? Is this just fluff?

It talks about clan secrets. Are they special abilities? I've seen this repeated in the literature before.

Know ritual to peacefully interact with Praxians.

What's a ritual? Is it like a spell?

Magic is what's really confusing me, but I'll probably post that in another post.

Thanks,

Michael
