Small question about gobo root:

The description says that "Gobo is one of the few documented indigenous plants yet found."   My question is: how would people know, ICly, what plants are indigenous and what plants are imports?   Given the lack of good records about life outside of Yliakum, I'm curious about how they would know that gobo was native and yarrow wasn't. 

Also, it seems kind of weird for Yliakum to apparently have few indigenous plant species.   Are all of the animals also imports?   I don't think you'd really be able to have the animals be indigenous but not the plants, as that sort of thing doesn't happen without catastrophic environmental damage, species going extinct, food chains disrupted, cats and dogs living together, etc.

Some are - brought through the portals with the races and such. But not all, no.

I believe that Murago Puntjal should know Kimlorm. Unfortunately he doesn't understand when I ask him "about Kimlorm".

When you say hello to Gregori, he has an unprintable character in text - it becomes a square box.
  "Greetings, traveller.  Welcome to the Arena.  Unbridled violence is the order of the day here; you[]d best be prepared for it."

In the log file, this is printed as "you�d".

Fixed pending reboot.

Hopefully that wasn't a spoiler for someone.

Ojaveda has guards (I know, only two in the Dsar of Akkaio), but it's chock full of rogues.

The rats I can see nothing being done about, but I haven't found any reason in-game for Akkaio not to have more guards around to take care of the rogue problem (maybe the plague got most of them? Bribery? I dunno).

If and when the other Dsars open, will there be more hanging around?

Well, you noticed how they hide their faces? I bet when they move through the gate they are disguised as normal travellers.

The new Nolthrir female models are lovely, major kudos to whoever made them.  I love the soft, wavy look of their hair, but - and I am the first to say this is crazy nitpicky and not important, it just happened to strike me - I'm wondering a little about it, since the racial info mentions that elves have straight hair

Can you quote that? I only see that it says they have long hair.

Everyone is assumed to be literate (read to succeed!) but there are no schools in the game nor any school teacher characters. The former is more suitable for abstraction, the latter for addition. By that I mean any unoccupied building can be thought to represent the school, it doesn't really need to exist at all except in dialog, a school teacher, however, might be well known around town and even have a life outside of school hours. The octarchal decree mandates weapon training but says nothing about basic schooling.
