I thought of keeping the numbers of the Praetorii branch below the number of the imperial masks, somewhere around 50 to 60. And a bunch of wizards in the other departments who do research, analyze items, testify for duels and the usual bunch of wizardly activities, bringing it up to somewhere...

:cool:

Realized this after I posted and so took it away.

I said that the gnomes are police and secret police, more like FBI and NSA. Something like all law enforcement agencies in the U.S. rolled into one. And the arcaneum is not a magic powerhouse, they have a small not specified number of magicians trained in defense of their charges. But twenty...

The arcaneum was my idea. I worked from Abi´s post that spells are standardized, that´s all. His was a whole different point of the story, he spoke about the standardization system ad I assume he didn´t care about the organization behind it. And yes Eyros army of 75% hobgblins would probably...

Contribution Arbiters of the arcaneum surveilling the gladiatorial contests currently debate if D´achao is using magics to help in his battles (as said earlier magic besides arms and armor is forbidden in duels). None of his opponents complained, as crying foul without reason results in fines...

You are a bad bad RBDM :p

No problem. I changed the post before this one in the time as you answered. I just think that the Praes are a fine sinister organization but we shouldn´t set them up as secret rulers. They have much power but after a while people would catch on. They cannot kill everyone of their political...

Yes, it was in the summary. And 40 guys are not much considering that the border is a long one. The masks are probably not the only guys watching the borders but is still a low number. I thought that the Praes Thanatos don´t like the praetorii guys much, they were made as a counterweight after...

I see, I envisioned the Praetorii Arcanae to be all spellcasters and professional soldiers. I think of them as the magical part of the security forces who guard an important civic administration together with normal guards. Guardian Masks are probably unsuitable as they are sworn to protect the...

Contribution: The arcaneum The Arcaneum is the imperial office regulating spellcasting affairs. Originally it was a small bureau that was tasked to regulate the standardisation process and compile the lexicon, but the Senate tasked them to deal with all arcane matters, concerning the...

The fluff thread has someone mentioning that people killed by duels have to be raised or even true ressed, limbs have to be restored. How do we want to handle that? If everything is low level and masks are considered to be accomplished sorcerers with level 5, there is only a handful people in...

Contribution: Eyrosian nobles are proud of their lineages and the deeds of their ancestors, as seen in worship of family gods, claim to a common ancestor with in the family and the long names indicating ancestry. Children often learn the names of their ancestors, as far as known. Despite this...

I see them as balanced , too, I would use Forcecage rather sparingly. That 1500 gp are gone who could have been invested in something more permanent.

And Malonia sounds a lot like melonia, the city of melons to me. :D I thought that it should be spoken slowly. I change it, seems that some people don´t like it. Hope you like the new one.

I thought that Eyros with his elabrate core family and pillar family names, a society where racial purity and lineages are important would place emphasis on inheritance and children, lineages and so on. I think it makes no sense to debate this further, it would just fill up the thread and...

Other races: I meant that some members of other races are on the same social rank as the second generations half-orcs. I see your point about the problem with dual pillar. We could let the half-orc decide to pledge fealty to one side of his familytree or the parents agree upon precdence of...
