Newsgroups: alt.pub.dragons-inn From: dwest@odin.unomaha.edu (David West) Subject: Lightfinger's actions Message-ID: Date: Sat, 16 May 1992 19:12:18 GMT Lightfinger sighs as he sips his mug. He glances up at Silver, remembering those carefree days of his youth when he was in love with her, before they went their separate paths of destiny. His thoughts turn to his homeland - Rohaj... The Syndicated Confederacy of Rohaj is quite a distance away from Generica. At least a good 6 months travel by horseback. It is a kingdom ruled by businesses and guilds, in conjunction with the churches and mages of the land. A small land, it is probably the size of what is on Shadow Earth called Ireland. The major guilds that are in control of the country are the Armorers, Weaponers, Thieves, Farmers, and Blacksmith/Horsiers. The ruler of the land is a mage, and his advisors are mainly from either the guilds or the temples in the land. The temples revere what people of Shadow Earth would call the Roman gods - Mars, Juno, Jupiter, Minerva, etc. Prominent in worship is currently the worship of Caligula, the mad god. This turn of events happened just before Lightfinger made his second try for gaining admittance to the College of Magic. The worshippers of Caligula wiped out the Temple of Minerva, causing the goddess to become much weaker and Caligula to become much stronger. After this display of strength, Caligula's followers increase immensely, making him more popular than Jupiter. Lightfinger turned to survey the bar. Many adventurers had wandered in since he last scanned the place. He looked at each obne, rather detached from them... (btw, thanks to my newsserver dying yesterday, I missed quite a bit of things...sorry if anyone talked to me or referred to me...)
