Ah, I see. I had somehow managed to completely fail to notice the existence of the starting age rules. Entering at 13 and finishing at 17 or 18 probably fits the way I've been roleplaying him better, now that he's not just a name on a character sheet, so I'm definitely willing to make that change. Judges, should I do that now, or wait for a next level, or just leave it alone?

And thanks, RA, for the pointer to A Teacher for Laynie. Do you mind if I take some notes for the wiki when I read it? I can't promise any kind of thoroughness, but something is better than (almost) nothing.

No prob. Also note that all the cool kids at the Academy speak Old Medibarian. You should see if they'll let you swap a language you haven't used yet for it.

Please, don't you think retconning spelling errors has gone far enough? We know that there is Rheim (where slavery is practiced) and Riem (where it isn't). I strongly oppose any attempt to create Reim, with or without slavery, by either proposal or sneaky orthographic trickery.

Oh, I'm not suggesting a third city--I mean we should consolidate the two into one city. Nobody used Riem except for Bront when he misspelled it as Rheim, and the two do share a decent amount because they're supposed to be the same place. Why not collapse them into one city?

 

[Bront]

I'm good either way. In the adventure I mentioned that is was a different pronunciation perhaps, but never explained it because I thought it was right every other way.

I'm good with sister city.

I seem to have been misunderstood as advancing some viewpoint on some relevant issue, when I was just flippantly pointing out the rather ironic fact that, in commenting on Bront's spelling error, you made a spelling error of your own.

To recap:
Riem is the city originally proposed, and where Bront thought he was setting his adventure.
Rheim is the spelling Bront used for the city which either is distinct from Riem or replacing Riem.
Reim is a spelling that, to the best of my knowledge has been mentioned except in the post of yours to which I was responding.

I had nightmares of other people, figuring out what the confusion was all about from this thread, proceeding to "learn" the spellings from your post, and thereby further confound the issue by referring to Reim, which could equally well be a misspelling of Riem or Rheim.

I am rather disturbed to see anyone posting either to agree or to disagree with me, since I really didn't intend to make a point worthy of further comment.

Ah, good--I at first figured Bront had only added an 'h' so just removed it (then I fixed it later in other posts). It's good to know that you're not actually opposed to consolidating the Riem/Rheim info--it's so much cleaner and less silly than the sister cities thing.

Oh. In that case, I neither agree nor disagree with you, since you made no point worthy of agreeing or disagreeing with.

I do stand by statement, though. I think two distinct cities have now been established, be they by mistake or on purpose. Clean or not, I'm opposed to just wiping the record clean of Riem.

Ultimately it should be up to Bront, who's been running his adventure there, and has the best viewpoint on it all. We usually don't vote on history or locations, and I don't think we need to start.

I don't think we'd be wiping the record clean of Riem--we'd be merging the two into one, keeping all non-conflicting info on both.

With Azwan now in his intended place as an Intermediate deity, we have no Greater LG deity. Do we need one? Gundar and Zephos are both LN. Is it too Enworld-shaking to make Gundar LG?

I definitely agree that it would be too ENWorld-shaking to make him LG, and it wouldn't fit well with the elemental dichotomy we have going (though we're still missing a NE fire deity to help keep it up). I think we're okay without, as we've got a bunch of NG and LN to help out, and two LG intermediates--the real weird thing is that we don't have any TN Greater deities.

That realy destroys the law/chaos conflict with Gundar and Halor, opposing gods of earth and air.
