Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jfdlsjfd" data-source="post: 9584681" data-attributes="member: 42856">Wow... I am wowed by the depth of your grammatical rant.However, we do take our information on the timeline and location from a very specific set of people:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Perth (OK)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Dalris, who spent several of her formative years getting fighter training.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Carr's inner monologue, who was actually raised by a school dropout with more contact with goats than other humans</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Thayne, a drunken half-elf of dubious lineage</li> </ul>None of them are linguists. Are we sure we can apply your in-depth grammatical analysis or are they just using tenses as it comes to them?Also, going by my hypothesis that the author has confused Saven and Freeton, we can safely go to the College Arcane and do both.Since it is a branching of the path, they are probably actual, different places, but there are still a solution to explain the ability to be somehow in those two places.We could be fooled by the earlier map's implied dimensions.Actually, Pirate's Alley DOES separate Seagate Island from the Kandian mainland, the same way Martha's Wineyard is off mainland America. Maybe you can actually see Saven from Freeton. 40 years ago, Landor just wanted some peace to study and teach magic and built his school just off the big city... He got a feudal title over the island, but didn't really develop it since he was focussed on building his academy over a very old crypt. And it became much easier to smuggle goods there, with few honest custom officers because Landor didn't care about mundane policing, before moving them back to Saven, rather than trying to smuggle loot into Saven directly. It's called Pirate Alley not because there is a lot of pirating, but because it's the way pirates use to fence their loot.</blockquote>
