Query: When did Tale of the Comet take place?
Query2: Cat, is your definitive timeline postable here?
This would be the ideal place to add/delete/change PC-related info with regard to _when_ everything actually happened and who-all was involved.
Okay, it may just be me, but aren't there an awful lot of holidays? [Speculate 2 possible reasons: 1) The world is such a scary place that the people are happy just to be alive to celebrate! or 2) Since this world of Osland exists as a crossroads, each arrival brought with him/her the beliefs in the supremacy of _the_one_true_god (whichever one that was) and wanted to be sure that TOTG received the proper credit, which leads to 2a) the rulers in Osland realized that it was much easier to allow people to worship their own individual dieties in the open with festivals as opposed to in secret (which could lead to rebellion). Any thots?
