Re: OOC Thread
In reply to Iskander Chrysos (msg #14):
Maps are rare, although things lkike maps with travel distance, waypoints etc can be found. Travel literature exists, but the best stuff is often wildly out of date, written before the Cataclysm when Korantis ruled the waves. Current data is often a close commercial secret.
I'll report back on your education roll later when i have access to my text.
Meanwhile, places to look:
A key part of the local establishment is the Borissan Syndics, the cult of sabateus who regulate trade and farm taxes. It's influential head is a man called Kortano.
Thyrta has only one resident scholar of note, a man called Medanthros the Educator.
The town's most famous sailor is one Rilados. Kordan at least cannot fail to have heard of him. He doesn't seem to be going anywhere other than back to the bar these days, but he's a local legend.
Those who decide to go and hang out in the stews favoured by the local sailing community, or to hang out down on the harbourside, should specify what direction they are probing for answers, and what kind of folk they seek out - and streetwise, shiphandling, insight, lore or influence rolls will be asked for accordingly.
