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 necesary 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 Sirion for as long as anyone can remember, tend to be slightly taller and fairer than normal. They also prefer to be called elves.
