A pirate's tactic

[freearcadia]

This is more directed to those, who like me have been dragged to this world, though I won't fault a native for listening in.

I am curious as to what we might have in common: world names, languages, culture, technology - and what is different.

This isn't just idle curiosity or a means of trying to find some comfort of familiarity in such a strange land, but I suspect if there is enough of a commonality in one area or another, we could in someway use it to our advantage against the Empire.

Zonai people.

Who are they?

[newmemorywhodis]

Ancient race of people who came from the sky.

They're gone now.

In my own world, several members of the nobility had floating castles. During the Interregnum, the sorcery that kept them aloft was disrupted.

[and, it didn't end well for the people inside]

Remarkable that the work of these Zonai still remains.

[newmemorywhodis]

...They fell?

[lyorning]

They fell. The Duke of Southmoor recently repaired and re-lofted his ancestral castle, but he used an alternate method.

[newmemorywhodis]

Did many people die?

[lyorning]

Unfortunately. No one thought that {sorcery} -- magic -- would ever go away suddenly. We weren't prepared to live without it.

[newmemorywhodis]

I'm sorry.

[lyorning]

You were not its cause, nor could you do anything to assist.

[newmemorywhodis]

It's still sad.

[lyorning]

Yes. Thank you.
