The Order of Alnitak believes that God gifted all men with magic. However, there came those who rejected God's gift and created devices that went against God. To punish these heathens, God stripped them of their magic. This is the source of the people of Legaia. While people of Xiphatia are descendants of God's children.
Well when the "plot" involves someone completely new to this place being asked to sign up to fight in a war for a guy he knows nothing about and people who have shown him outright distrust for a trivial reason (from his perspective at least)...Saltyk said:OoC: And yet another person runs away from the plot...
OOC: Meanwhile, the Legaian guards are all ex-adventurers suffering from projectile-related upper-shin injuries.Furioso said:@Zeph, I applaud the Xiphatians for getting access to Oblivion guards, those guys are good
Trivial from Marston's (somewhat ignorant) perspective.Saltyk said:OoC: @Outis: Guy with guns, in a land where their enemy uses tech... Totally trivial to think they shouldn't just let him walk out the front door!
He's...bored by seeing someone he knows, and presumably thinks is at least generally all right, getting dragged away by the military?DotSlash said:Rex eventually walks away from the scene, a little bored. Remembering his agreement with Lyra, he started to walk down the lakeside toward Pewtercove.
It is believed that the reason Xiphatian magic reacts negatively to Legaian technology is God's warning to his people never to follow that path. It is God's rejection of the fallen people's technology.
