[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 4704019, member: 2209"] Other things of note: 1 Burok Torn, the dwarves have one of the strongest traditions of arcane wizardly magic in the world, they are known as master rune magic users. They fight a two front war, one with the dark elves underground and with an evil human empire above who wants control of the pass over their mountain kingdom. The dwarven and dark elven gods were fighting the titan of disease together. IIRC he infected the dwarven god's mind and when the two gods were doing a joint activity planar assault on the titan the dwarven god believed the dark elven god was betraying him so he dropped his end of the magic and turned on the dark elf and commanded his followers to do the same. 2 Hollowfaust, lots of nonsentient, non-spawning undead. They have strict rules against intelligent undead, undead that feed, and undead that spawn on their own. They are in a desert with hostile humanoids that invade. They have a hugely built up lawful aspect to their societies, necros originally left to study necromancy in peace and not be persecuted, developed defenses against the invaders and developed into a major city as people flocked to a safe place for humans. The necros were the leaders and got more and more involved as a ruling class on a day to day basis to the point of regularly sitting on legal panels as civil judges. I read the first two cover to cover a while ago but I've only skimmed the latter two. 3 One aspect of Mithril is that all gods must be allowed to be worshipped, including the evil ones due to the divine compact which the paladin god takes seriously. There is some discussion of pirates and orc threats to the city as well as the big bad dark elf shadow mage. The golem is a historical reason the paladins flock to the city and established a base here, it is an inspiration but doesn't currently do anything. 4 Shelzar is a mix of fantasy decadent arabian and western fantasy, think a little more along Conan lines than anything truly Islamic. A fairly rich trade city with little outward ambition. [/QUOTE]
