[QUOTE="gizmo33, post: 2132636, member: 30001"] And such a "medieval media blackout" is justified based on what text in WLD? This may be beyond the scope of people without the WLD dungeon to discuss, but let me go to REGION A page 20 of the 840 page book. Here's the quote: "Research and the aid of his imp familiar, Achsyyx, Longtail found out about the dungeon, it's history, and original purpose." I don't see any kind of Anti-bardic field around the dungeon. In fact, I can pick a region at random and find a basis for bardic knowledge. I'll do just that: Region D, first sentence: "Chtrax is a diabolic zxill of such caiber that his society cast him out to wander the planes..." And none of this would be possibly known? Even amongst persons who are the same level of those that can cast Wish spells? Not even a DC 30 bard check? Does someone know enough about Xill to know that they never speak of the events of their community with anyone who has the capability of recording such knowledge in the form of verse? And that a 20th level bard wouldn't even have a crack at this? [/QUOTE]
