[QUOTE="Mystaros, post: 4040099, member: 3921"] Well, that would depend on where you have placed Cauldron. If you are using the rules from the [B]Player's Guide to the Wilderlands[/B], the player's knowledge of the wider world can be quite restricted. If they have [I]Knowledge: Local Region[/I], they would know in which direction the other cities of the region can be found, the generalities of the races that can be found there, and the most recent history of how said cities have interacted with Cauldron. They would probably also know a bit about the nearest most prominent geographical feature and how it relates to Cauldron (i.e., "The Dearthwood is home to orcs, elves, and rangers, and a couple years back a tribe of orcs attacked outlying hamlets of Cauldron from the forest"). They probably know the names and some very basic information about neighboring towns and larger villages, i.e., "Tain and Byrny are ruled by governors beholden to the Invincible Overlord, Tain is a local market while Byrny is known for its chain mail hauberks." And that would be it. Unless they have the [I]World Traveler [/I] feat, they would know next to nothing about any other parts of the world. If within one region of the CSWE, they will certainly have heard of Viridistan, and know that it is ruled by the World Emperor, that its people have a greenish tinge to their skin, and that it is a wicked city steeped in evil, but that's about it. If they do not have [I]Knowledge: Local Area[/I], they don't know anything about the wider world, save the folks on their local streets of Cauldron or their hometown hamlet.

"City State maw, what's that?" "A real big village, Bili, a real big village with stone walls" "Stone walls maw, you're joshin' me!") And so forth... [/QUOTE]
