Aug 29, 2010 21:50:32 In the DSCG there is a story about a city that the SK of Urik destroyed (via one massive act of defiling). I can't remember the name of the city, or the page number on which the DSCG talks about it. Would somebody be able to provide me with that information, because I can't seem to find it for the life of me...

I do like how they don't say what happened to the Sorcerer-King of the city ;)

Aug 29, 2010 22:58:31 It's been part of the lore since the original boxed set, more or less. It was ruled by the Sorcerer-Queen Sielba.

Aug 29, 2010 23:16:43 Interestingly some of that was changed, as DSCS4 specifies the city was not sacked, Hamanu just defiled everyone to death and left. Leaving the fate of the loots, the Sorcereress-Queen, and lots of other stuff unclear.

The dragon goes take a levy, but it is much smaller and doesn't seem to use it to keep Rajaat locked up.

Though, the dragon's upcoming levy being unable to be met by Tyr I thought was a really good plot point. I guess that could still be a problem. If Borys doesn't *need* 8000 or whatever slaves every year to keep Rajaat locked up, losing a city's tithes is more obnoxious than a serious problem.

In the books, didn't the other Sorcerer-King's cover Tyr's levy the first year? I remember them struggling to cover one.

Anyways, I'll probably still script a horrible vengance of a displeased Dragon.

Aug 30, 2010 3:43:07 Balic had to pay the extra for the first year of Tyr's freedom. After that Tithian began paying in secret.
