Kyuad's Lorebook Questions

Kyuad's Lorebook

RESULTS GUIDE

This guide shows the information found in the Midnight book, plus implied levels of knowledge to fill in gaps and the higher-end range of results. These don't have to be used, and in fact could be changed entirely, but they represent options for the GM. The DCs 15, 35, and 40 are not found on the standard chart.

Lorebook Checks

Lorebook References

Note: most of these came from the dream that was played to us by Zal'Kazzir. Y'aught ta reference that if something doesn't seem entirely familiar.

Also, these questions were asked more than a level ago. If the results are coming now, we should use Kyuad's current modifier, which means that everything before "The Gray Realms" gets a +2 bonus to the result. This won't change most of them, but the subject that will be boosted to the next-highest level of information is the "Arunath Peaks".

Moonstruck Clan

• Check +22 = 37: Extremely obscure, known by very few, possibly forgotten by most who once knew it, possibly known only by those who don't understand the significance of the knowledge. (Optional: Secret knowledge, facts new to the world)

• Check +22 = 40 - Highwood (nat 20, homie): Extremely obscure, known by very few, possibly forgotten by most who once knew it, possibly known only by those who don't understand the significance of the knowledge. (Optional: Secrets lying behind great mysteries, dangerous information)
