[QUOTE="hirou, post: 7464169, member: 6776023"] A little something which I can't resist posting: Avilona connection breakdown is somthing which I consider a tiny gem of the campaign. It's never clearly stated, I believe, but in my head-canon it's not that Casvarina "broke something". It's because three thing happened at the same time: [LIST] [*]Kasvarina and Nic tried to tamper with Avilona portal within the Ziggurat and failsafe mechanism of the Ancients Seal kicked in [*]sea water finally eroded the Avilona column on Axis Island to the point of crashing [*]condition of Eagle of Avilona (see WotBS and adventure 12) worsened [/LIST] These things are not directly linked with cause-and-effect connections, because magic doesn't have to care about your puny linear timelines. Magic just happens. I understand the urge to clarify each and every tiny detail of the world, both from players' and DM viewpoint, but I don't think it's really possible. EDIT: it's also unclear where exactly Rock Rackus went and how.
