Amazing alliteration there, Zomp.

How is this progressing?

1. What is this about?

2. Are you planning on making it a complete book?

Scileci? - Shrubbers

Is this a nod to Monty Python's Grail, or is 'shrubber' an actual profession?

Are you going to make an Almea gamemap for the mod as well?

What is the language of the Ktuvoki? Does it vary from swamp to swamp?

Probably not... one planet is enough for me to worry about.

Indeed.

I read the Count of Years ... but I assumed the ancient wars therin were completly mythological. How advanced was Almea during these wars? I don't know, since I can't read Eteod?ole yet. :( I generally picture it as being far more advanced than ourselves. The ilii probably retain much of the techno...

Ktuvoks live in swamps but hunt in the sea; there's nothing very mysterious about their spreading all over the planet. Remember that Almea was once a high-tech planet, dominated by worldwide iliu-ktuvok wars, which affected the other species. Very likely the elcari made it to other continents durin...

Maybe its just me; but the map that displays the distribution of the non-humans of Almea shows all of the non-humans distributed fairly widely across the world. Certain groups seem more inclined to a sedentary lifestyle (Ktuvoks, Elcari/M?rtani, Ic?lani) and would not be so far-flung across continen...

Is there a chance that we could be blessed with a few tidbits of info about Tellinor and the Island Sea?

I don't think I've set specific numbers, but here's what I recall. humans, flaids - about like ours ilii - over a thousand years elcari, murtani - 300 years (average) ktuvoks - somewhat shorter than humans It's hard picturing the murtani actually making it to the end of their theoretical lifespan. ...

So really, there are 3 faiths: Modern Arashei, Modern AC, and Eledhat. Correct? They're under a theological union, so I wouldn't say they are three faiths. A good analogy might be the Roman Catholic Church and some of the Eastern Rites which accept the Pope's authority but have their own liturgy an...

By memory, so this may get corrected later... In Kebri and Erenat, where there weren't many Arashei to begin with, the church isn't all that modified. It accepts the union and the holiness of Book of Eledh, but doesn't emphasize them much. (However, it places great store on the Book of Mihel, the t...

What was the Church of Avela like before it merged with the Cuezian faith? Are there any people who retain Avelan dogma completely, or even Terrestrial Roman Catholocism in Almea?

That would be cool... Although, how would they be distributed?

So.. we're never going to see Dheknam rule the world eh? ^_^ too bad...

Is the Historical Atlas ever going to be expanded?
