| − | '''Kyuad:''' "The 'traitor orc,' who they also referred to as 'the pathwalker,' must be Durgaz. Though from just hearing her, she could have meant 'pathwalker' in the plural, meaning all of us. Surely they know we are here already - if not for the spying then for what happened below. I did not realize that Durgaz could see through the Cadaverous Eye himself. Maybe they refer to a potential ability and not his current practice. Though from some of his 'visions' I could suspect either to be true.<br>"They referred to him as a pathwalker, as though that were an important distinction about Durgaz. Perhaps he and 'the Vile have this in common... it would be interesting to see if anyone else were able to use the 'Eye. We shall see, if given the opportunity. Speak not of my suspicions to Durgaz, I do not want him thinking that I expect him to ''use'' this tool of wickedness.<br> "I will try to fill the time waiting on the others by trying to reference the stations and ranks these legates mentioned."

| |
| − | Thanks a lot Kevin! This is awesome!!
| |
| − |
| |
| − | I edited some minor typos this morning, and again when I added to it just now. I'm unclear about this portion however:
| |
| − | "''He toils his time with the stars, leaving before the initiates that are to become during HIS ritual on the moon. He twists in plots contending on meaningless whelps making their way to us from the ShadowWall... ''"
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Is she referring to the initiates as "the initiates-that-are-to-become" as a single long-winded term? Is his ritual on the moon or is he leaving before the 'moon (as a shortened term for the New Moon or whatever phase that they understand as her meaning), which is when the ritual takes place?<br>
| |
| − | She said that his plots contend on whelps, which means "conflicting/fighting/rivaling on whelps." I don't think this is a proper use of the word. Should that be depending instead of contending? Or should it be "contending with"?

| |
| − | Thanks for the typo fixing, I don't mind at all. Just make sure you are NOT editting the meaning of the phrase. If you wonder, please ask before you change it. -thanks.

| |
| − | ** ['''A''']: '''ROLL:''' Kyuad (Lorebook +11) ROLLED: 8+11 = 19 '' <br> Oooo... crappy roll Bill, sorry about that... Luckily I rolled a 11 on the 50/50 though. So... ''With this roll - Kyuad gains Common, known by at least a substantial minority of the local population.'', luckily some of this information is somewhat easily known... <br> IN FACT... Zal might know this info as well. <br> '''ROLL:''' Zal'Kazzir (Know: Shadow +10) ROLLED: 2+10 = 12 '' <br> <br> So what I have listed here is the information that either Kyuad or Zal'Kazzir would both have. Bill, I've continued a little bit of your [http://wiki.rpg.net/index.php/Kyuad%27s_Lorebook#Ways_of_the_Legates Lorebook] information in your Lorebook. (ADAM - do not read the Lorebook)

| − | *** '''Harrower''': ''Harrowers are granted a considerable amount of autonomy and expected to scour the land with merciless efficiency. The Order of Harrowers is under the leadership of the grim legate Janavar, who oversees his harrowers’ activities from his quarters in Theros Obsidia. ''
| |
| − | *** '''Curate''': ''A prefix title for temple legates. Curates are aids to the Prelate (Prelate is the highest-ranking temple legate).''
| |
| − | *** '''Barrack-Master''': ''A prefix title for temple legates. Barrack-Masters are responsible for the cleanliness and orderliness of the temple living quarters.''
| |
| − | *** '''Surgeon Knife''': ''A dominion within the "Umbral Catholicon" group. These legates are clerics who are too weak and ineffectual to carve a niche elsewhere in the order. The Umbral Catholicon are considered the lowest of the dark god’s priests, openly despised by their brethren and treated as little better than common lackeys by the orcs.''
| |
| − | *** '''Seneschal of Shadow''': ''A rank within the "Soldier Legate" group. The Seneschals of Shadow are often the head of a chapter of the Fulminate Shield. Others command the bodyguards of greater legates.''

| − | * [KYUAD] '''I'm unclear about this portion however: "''He toils his time with the stars, leaving before the initiates that are to become during HIS ritual on the moon. He twists in plots contending on meaningless whelps making their way to us from the ShadowWall... ''"''' <br> Is she referring to the initiates as "the initiates-that-are-to-become" as a single long-winded term?
| |
| − | ** ['''A''']: She is referring to "Initiates" that will "become" something by attending/aiding in the "ritual on the moon". Who these "Initiates" are could be: your group, the incoming slaved orcs, the three legates with the slaves, or someone else. She didn't say.
| |
| | | | |
| | | | |
| − | * [KYUAD] '''Is his ritual on the moon or is he leaving before the 'moon (as a shortened term for the New Moon or whatever phase that they understand as her meaning), which is when the ritual takes place?'''
| |
| − | ** ['''A''']: She said he left "'''BEFORE''' the ... ritual on the moon". Which PHASE of the moon or whether he's gone and already come "back" by now is unclear, she did not say.
| |
| | | | |
| | | | |
| − | * [KYUAD] '''She said that his plots contend on whelps, which means "conflicting/fighting/rivaling on whelps." I don't think this is a proper use of the word. Should that be depending instead of contending? Or should it be "contending with"?'''
| |
| − | ** ['''A''']: The word/phrase I meant to convey was more like "contention" (struggling together in opposition). I editted it above to read this way: ''"He twists in plots with the misguided contention of meaningless whelps making their way to us from the ShadowWall..."''
