Hmmm... maybe I'm thinking of something different, but didn't it also have something in there about magic being used in war? Or does that simply tie in with the politics?
Wow. I've been telling myself for a while that I should read other Story Hours than Piratecat's, and I'm glad I clicked on this thread. I've read the first three pages, and even though I'm having trouble understanding everything, I am in awe of Sepulchrave and his group. So I'm going to be annoying and ask for the compiled story as well.
I forget if I've ever de-lurked before, but let me just say, if I haevn't already, that you've made me despair of me or my players ever reaching your level. Congrats.
And another request for the word document; I read through the whole thing a while ago but I'd like a copy anyway.
