Now the war has been properly over for a couple of months, people have had a chance to sit down and properly discuss what happened where without worrying about it impacting national security. So we get a proper account of the final 6 day final battle to thrill the readers. All sorts of magic played a part, but they couldn't have won it without the stalwart knights of the city leading the charge, because D&D settings can't go full magitech without spoiling the mood. Speaking of which, there are suspicions that the guy from last month selling literal life insurance is a scammer. He's still around for now, but don't be surprised if he makes a hasty exit from the campaign like Chemcheaux did. Further cementing the feeling that they might want to dial the magic level back a bit is the increasing number of Disenchanter sightings. They're here to feed on all the magical residue from the spells used in the war. The church of Chauntea thinks they should be protected & encouraged, because it'll help get rid of the wild magic zones around the city. The wizard's guild is understandably not so keen on them, and has posted a 100gp bounty on disenchanter tails. This gives adventurers plenty of adventure opportunities whichever side of the political conflict they're on in upcoming months. It's not all in favor of low magic though. The potion shop closed at the start of the war is back again. And The Murkos, a powerful merchant from Zakhara plans to make a visit with his ship to resume trade, which I'm pretty sure requires it to fly or teleport some of the way, because I can't see a direct river route between the Sea of Swords and the Sea of Fallen Stars. Maybe it has a halruan skyship engine, or maybe he has a genie to carry it. So it looks increasingly like this year's big metaplot stuff is conflict over the overall level of magic in the campaign. Not quite as dramatic as last year, especially because a lot of people won't see it, but still has potential for both adventures and more philosophical OOC debate about magic levels in fantasy worlds and how they should affect history & day to day life if used logically.Living City Q&A: Can i be a specialty Ranger & Priest of Melikki at the same time, pretty please?! (Well, alright, but only if your ranger levels are warrior ones, not priest ones)Do all Living City events have tiered experience? (no, just the new ones that say they do) Can I play the new specialty priests from Powers & Pantheons? (not yet. Hopefully next year) What do I do if Knight PC's are naughty words? (subtract from their chivalry points and send it into the appropriate admin. That's why they have that mechanic in the first place.) What do I do if I was maimed during the war? (Either embrace the new look and get a nice eyepatch (pirates are sexy) or save up and pay for a regeneration spell)</blockquote>
