Hello everyone,
Due to the withdrawal of permission to use certain written texts, we were forced to rewrite history for the kingdom of Rael, its ruler Broegar and several other links to it (like all other kingdoms on Dregar).
This has caused a delay in handbook release.
In the Lore/History section, you will find a new history of Prantz.
Major changes are:
1) The new ruler is known only as Lord Rael, it was him who lead the army that conquered Prantz.
2) a different form of government there, as well as a changed set of laws.
3) religion is still outlawed, except for the worship of Sulterio
I do want to point out that things like the battle for Prantz, the proclamation of the laws, and the recent agreement with the Rofirein church did happen, it’s just different NPCs and an overhaul of text because of the withdrawal of permission.
We will put an updated version of Prantz in game with the next update.
I would like to thank Honora for her time invested in this rewrite (and the other ones), she continues to amaze me with her creativity. Thank you.
If there are any questions related to the change above, please post them here and Honora or myself will try to answer (Honora knows Rael better than I do, hehe).
Thank you for your understanding, follow this link (http://forums.layonara.com/histories-content/125542-kingdom-rael-dregar.html#post549432) for the text.

Thank you Honora for taking the time in writing this history and lore.
-
While these changes had to come and I think many feared that it would get awkward, I must say that I am impressed by the write up. It fits well with the existing story, while still being its own.
Grand work Honora!

Fantastic work Honora! *applauds*
So far the lore has been excellent.
-
As always Honora, excellent job!
-
well done, read it..loved it!!!

Question: The army that took Prantz. From where did it came with this change? Straight from the Deep?
-
A lot of it was from Bloodstone's recruiting, the rest from the Deep. The fiends and undead left after Lord Rael took the city on his orders, to be replaced with more Deep dwarves and those humans who professed loyalty to the new regime.

*sends some Lemonade to Honora* Thanks for all the work, you deserve this drink!

I really really appreciate this kind of writing: one, it helps ground the history and political goings-on, of a place, filling in a lot of those things a character "should" know. And two, it helps me envision the state of a place, what it looks like when you take the portal into prantz, how the people around you appear to be doing, and just helps make the world a little more real.
So thanks.
