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 enemies and every non elven spellcaster without the houses catching on. And I think that the gnomes would be doomed in an open war against everyone else and at least some of the Patriae know it. Every race would gladly help fighting them and an undead army controlled by a death knight involuntarily working for them is not as good as a regular trained and disciplined army who probably have their own mages. And Thanatos can do only so much, there are other powerful spellcasters. He may be paranoid but he doesn´t kill the freed masks of House Kiron and the primal masks with their mysterious oaths still live, too. The Praetorii issue was a battle the Praes choose not to fight and instead use it as far as possible. Why should they do the boring guard duty if they get humans to do it?@KhorodAs I said they cannot kill every potential spellcaster, people would catch on and I don´t think that the empire would leave all its spellcasting assets in the hands of gnomes.Another reason is that there are players who probably want to play something else as a spelcaster than a gnome or an elf with child mentality. And with players becoming more powerful spellcasters do you want an automatic death warrant on every PC wizard?I introduced the Praetorii to show that there are other spellcasters besides gnomes and elves, players don´t need to play one but there should be an organisation as a showcase, to highlight the fact that there are spellcasters besides elves and gnomes.</blockquote>
