[sblock=GoddessFallenAngel]What does Bregan know of the White Rose?[/sblock]

 

[Goddess FallenAngel]

[sblock=Bregan]
Bregan can only recall brief mentions of it - and he knows that there was something, at the end of the war, that turned the Shadowmaster's magic back upon themselves and boosted the Allies' magic beyond it's previous capabilities. However, because of your skills you were rarely in the rank-and-file battles (being employed elsewhere more in line with your abilities), and you have the feeling that knowledge of the artifact was kept from you - perhaps because of a lingering distrust, perhaps because - as Coel said - only those who needed to know were told.

My husband returns home from sea on Tuesday. I won't be posting on Tuesday, but will be posting on Wednesday and Thursday while he squares things away at work. From Friday onward for an approximately two week period, posting on my end will be sporadic (maybe every other day or something like M/W/F) while we enjoy being reunited as a family. After that, I'll be back for my regular M-F posting schedule.

I'll post for Grun at some point today.

 

[Goddess FallenAngel]

CanadienneBacon - thanks for letting us know, and have fun!

Quick clarification: Sidhe in this world roughly correspond to the fey elves of Irish mythology (as opposed to D&D elves, which also exist in this world as 'elves'), and are viewed as such by most in the world. They are the nobles and nobility of the fey races. The term 'fey', as used in this world, is used for both the individual members of the Sidhe, and those fey who aren't nobility (such as dryads, nymphs, etc). In D&D terms, they are all the Fey subtype.

 

[CanadienneBacon]

Is the term Sidhe something that I can look up using Wikipedia? I steal from a lot of outside sources when I populate my own homebrew, but Sidhe isn't something I've come across. I'm willing to do a bit of reading for this game. Got any suggestions for where I can dig up more info that will help me to flesh out the concept?

 

[Goddess FallenAngel]

Wikipedia will probably get you the basics - if you really want to do some reading, check out some websites on Celtic or Irish folklore and myths. You could probably also google Sidhe - I did, and got this page: http://www.shee-eire.com/magic&mythology/Fairylore/main.htm - which is a quick summary. Another term to keep in mind might be Shee - an alternate spelling/pronunciation of Sidhe.

Wizard's website also had a Fey feature set of articles a while back, that if I remember correctly, was pretty close to legend... ah, here it is: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/arch/fey

Any references you may run across to the Seelie and Unseelie Courts are not character knowledge, without making a Knowledge Nature check.

Also, if you have a local library near you, I've found the children's books of faeries are good references for this sort of thing as well.

Goddess FallenAngel [sblock] I think I'd like that Knowledge: Nature check.

Perin would be looking for potential answers to Grun's questions as well as general information: How one gains access to Sidhe lands, what exactly those lands are, and any special ways to treat and talk with Sidhe.

Expect an update tomorrow... I've been spending the last week trying to deal with the mortgage company we are going through for the loan on our house, which is currently under construction. Not fun when they decide to change the terms of the loan when the house is half-built and it is far too late to back out or change. *sigh* Good thing I've put some ranks in Diplomacy for negotiations.

 

[Mista Collins]

If Diplomacy doesn't work, let me know. I'll come down there and use my ranks in Intimidate. I get a +2 synergy bonus for being a Loan Officer.
