Earlier peoples knew about the Library at Alexandria, the the Acropolis of Athens and the Gardens of BabylonTrue some of the information may be inaacurate - but who said a skill check has to provide 'true perfectly accurate information'. One last thing though I also don't think K:Local can tell the PC where to find the best deal on mules in the city - thats a Gather Info check, K:Local can tell me yep the places has many elves who beielve they were descended from the stars and thus follow the Church of Zek .The city of Zek is governed by the Emir Abdul-Zim(of course when the PCs go to find the Emir they may discover that he has been dead for 15 years having been executed for heresy - and now the PCs are under suspicion!)</blockquote>
