CLOK BBS

Post your lore questions and requests here. I'll either write an article about them, respond to them here, or possibly save some up to talk about in a lore chat in the future.

How advanced exactly are the grum? Technology wise. And, are they more advanced in certain areas than they should be due to clockwork/steam punk style machinery?

What is the normal religious practices of the Viali?

• Do they pray before they eat?
  Do they have weekly church services?
  Do they evangelize about inner light?
  What are some sample prayers that someone might offer up if they had a sick loved one? A son going to war?

Who are the current rulers of Ivial?

Are there any other mythical creatures in other regions of Arad? Like how common are drakolin, werewolves, wraiths?

How long does the rest of the world plan to continue the quarantine? Forever or just a really long time until they open up the borders?

Does nether exist outside of the lost lands at all?

Do other forms of magic?

Are there any societies that would match up with the cultures that practiced such mysticism as voodoo anywhere in the world? And if so, is it a valid form of magic, or just ritual?

Are the same gods shared by all peoples, with just different names, or does each region feature its own unique pantheon? Are there any monotheistic religions?

Are the parren isles a trade center? And if so, would it be strange to see people from all over the world there, or would it be more local?

What is the government of the parren isles? Or Viali?

How advanced are ships and sails? Do we have astrolabes? Can sailors navigate by the stars in general, and if so are star charts available anywhere?

Do the grum have a problem with magic?

Is the entire world known and mapped, or could there be an entire continent or more unbeknownst to the lost lands and surrounding areas?

So, how do the Viali interact and acknowledge the different Serafim?

Do they work kind of like patron saints? Are there whole churchs/temples/sanctuaries established to Undm or Aphraen in Ivial? Is it uncommon for people to identify more with a Serafima than Serafina herself?

What are the origin stories of major religious figures? What are creation stories for different cultures?

Is the church involved in Viali politics at all? If so, how much? Is it a theocracy or do they have separation of church and state?
