But I think your getting your wars mixed up.As you said a persons knowlege will only be what it was in the timeframe that you are interviewing them.Nearly everyone from history is available, there will only be a few exceptions. But they will be limited to their knowlege at the time of the interview. Thus Joe Blacksmith who lived then died in 800 RY, and would be intervierwed in 799 RY would have no knowlege of events that took place in 900 RY.The saints present a "special case" since they obviously have some indirect interaction with even the current world. However in the example you site, Salix, Warrior. after the 'win' over the lizard folk.. . . What is the source of the undead, who is the enemy?Salix lived and died circa 400 RY. So you would need to interview him before death. This was what I was trying to say by saying: You cannot talk to dead people--at least through this means. Even if they are saints.The lizard folk war started in 3400 RY (Approximate)The undead scourge started in 3500 RY (approximate)Therefore niether he nor Angus would have any idea about either event. (Even though they listed to thier followers prayers etc, today)If you talk to him during his life, he will not know anything that comes later. He won't even comprehend that he is (will be) a saint. If you want to talk to a saint, and gain the benefit of his current knowlege, there are cleric spells that can allow this.</blockquote>
