Thondor is performing thread necromancy, dragging up a thread from 02.

Misunderstandings are bound to happen on internet message boards.

I meant this post mentioning food and size: The Aleasani were much larger when they left the old lands, practically giants to the eyes of the Juni, Shay, Dvergar, and Urukh they displaced. Over time they shrank admidst the mountains of Aleasana, with little food to survive on after they...

I am not adamant about having giants in Aleasana, I have my problems with the biology that was used to justify that every member of the species shrunk. If Rhialto wants to cut out my stuff about the pure old bloods it´s fine with me. I would prefer that we get out the magic/divine...

Well, we´re on a messageboard and it´s difficult on an internet forum to know the exact intention what the other poster wanted. You sounded like you wanted a debate. May I point out that I mentioned some alternate reasons why the Asani in general became smaller, like curses, hit by weapons or...

I assume that they were originally ogre sized. I used the word giant sometimes in a more liberal way, meaning tall people.

You are right. I checked the section as I wrote it but somehow forgot to correct this. Does Aleasana still support thousands of people or are these cities all villages with a few hundred people. If a large valley can support several thousand people they can support a smaller number of larger...

Food supply: So the mainland was not able to sustain the population, after a massive war, with heavy casualties but some islands are fertile enough to sustain the whole population for a limited time? The black plague in Europe which decimated the population actually resulted in wealthier and...

The whole racial thing started beforehand. The Asani were taller and then degenerated into Asani Morok or became smaller versions of themselves. We made a difference between pre exile humans and exile humans. I assumed that your post about the old bloods indicated that these oldbloods were still...

Wasn´t my intention to go this route any further. I more or less wanted to prevent that some contributions I intended being facts getting the dismissed as faerie tale axe or all dead and gone. BTW the Astarin are not necessarily Old Bloods or what´s disturbing you? Contribution: The Bodai...

thOne of the characters has an intelligent sword, that has the duty to protect the elven people and an armor that was worn by the elven recon troops of the old realm of the elves. His sword is rather quick to anger and often tries to usurp control when he meets traitors to the elven realm. The...

We already have a contribution about the months.

@Arkhandus According to my dictionary a concordat is an agreement between a state and the church on church affairs. In Germany for example is a concordat allowing religious lessons in public school. It could be that Italy and the Vatican have a concordat about their relationship to each...

San´Sai is the homeland of the Asani people who fled to Aleasana. but it wasn´t the only land beyond the sea. The old lands consist of a small continent and several large islands. San´Sai was one of the island provinces. The San´Sai people became proud and arrogant. They rebelled against the...

What´s San´Sai? The old lands? Before you sink the old lands there are still people there who worship Tarsinus as the highest god.

If the secon wave are the humans these could be considered criminals as well. Aleasana the dumping ground of the unwanted... :) Contribution: Alanna is the shay goddess of nature, fertility and woodcarving. She is depicted as a shay woman clad in leaves and flowers. Treants are considered to...

Hepp :)

Books: Ruwenda from Marion Zimmer Bradley Anime: Gaia from Escaflowne Comuter Games: Xeen (Might&Magic) and the other worlds I don´t remember right now Britannia from the Ultima Series and Ultima Online

Contribution: The ruins of Karnad in southern Aleasana are haunted. Karnad was a contender for the throne before the utter destruction in the war by Bandesh Thar.

Do you know why the non-swordy people react this way?
