[QUOTE="Trouvere, post: 3939759, member: 37250"] Conuld is a little perturbed to hear that a culture's knowledge of itself is passed on mainly from mind to mind only. "Stories and songs are good things, but they can be lost and forgotten in times of struggle for survival, and in the end, any civilization may fall and fade into silence. In the desert, even paper may last for centuries without the need for recopying. And if paper is too difficult to obtain, there is surely camel skin parchment. Or I would suppose your most important records could be inscribed on sheets of glass using a diamond tipped stylus, which might be swifter than incising letters in stone. There's no shortage of the necessities for glass-making, although fuel for the melting would be the limiting factor." Conuld grows enthusiastic, perhaps imagining teams of loremasters preserving Sairundan knowledge for all time. "If I am permitted, I shall be sure to search for information regarding your kindred, Cludge. There will be wise men to ask, too, I am sure." [sblock=Previously in the desert: ]Conuld presents his guess. "The ring glimmers with an aura of conjuration, which leads me to believe it can only be a Ring of Sustenance, a useful item for anyone lost in the desert without means of support. It does away with the need to eat or drink. Additionally, one who wears it will find they need to sleep only two hours a night. I have no need of it, however, for I must rest eight hours in order to prepare new spells each day, and even if I were awake, I would have to lie still as though I were asleep. If you wish for my opinion, I would suggest Cludge or Shadya has the use of it, since either may then watch for longer stretches of the night, while Lasair and I both require uninterrupted rest.
