Mentoring

Where to begin? (Naira)

The short conversation has come to the conclusion that the first thing students need to know is the nature of the physical world around them (the turn system) as this provides a basis for most other knowledge and is necessary for them to be productive. (Naira/Tomaas)

What is the most important lesson? (Naira)

This topic has produced no clear answer in its short life. The two answers that have been given are the nature of the physical world (Naira), and critical thinking (Tomaas).

Inhabitants

What races inhabit the East Continent? (Naira)

The world is inhabited by humans. The realms on the eastern continent are no exception. The only notable difference being with one group. This group, located in the forests of Sirion for as long as anyone can remember, tend to be slightly taller and fairer than normal and have pointed ears. They call themselves elves.

Agriculture

How can you deal with droughts? (Gregor)

An investment in a rural region will not only increase its gold production but it's food as well. Thus an enterprising realm may wish to use a series of strategic investments in their regions to avoid a severe shortage. If this were carried out on a continent wide basis the effects of this cursed blight will be severely mitigated. It perhaps bears considering when making ones calculations on the best course of action. (Gregor)


Battle

When are Heroes heroic? (Romul)

Heroes will occasionally ignore marshal settings, using their old settings instead. (Malcolm) This may be linked to honour or prestige with veteran heroes following those settings less. (Leonidas)
