The light always shines in Ojaveda, regardless of time of  day.

Adder, that's probably a graphic problem or something... It works for me.

Here's one I ran into:  There's two quests that mention octarch's chess.  In one of them, you find out that a certain person wrote a book on it.  Yet in the other, and generally, he acts like he's never heard of it.  In fact most people haven't.

When you say "Give me a book." to Lori Tryllyn (Jayose's apprentice, inside the library), she responds "Maybe try the library. Books can be found in many places.", which I consider a very odd answer for someone (working) in the library.

Also, Jayose seems to refer to her as a 'him'.

Doesn't seem very strange to me. Lori isn't a bookcase, is she? Try the library's bookcases.  ;)

Isn't she a Dermorian manlady? That may be why Jayose is a little confused...  ;D

how about you actually speak english in a useful manner and give us the information we need to change whatever inconsistency you are trying to identify raa?

So you don't want me to help? Fine then. I'm obviously not wanted on this thread...

cryptic BS and help are NOT synonymous.

Didn't seem very cryptic to me...

I noticed that on the main website under the Kran section, it says: "Their organism is the only one, amongst the known races, to be based on silicon instead of carbon." However, I think I remember reading that the Derghir are also based off of silicon, and there are about three books in the library talking about them, so wouldn't they be more common knowledge as well?

It's a semantic thing. "Races" implies the sentient (aka player) races. Semi-intelligent creatures and animals don't really count as races. But yeah, we should clarify that a bit better.

In the quest "Little White Lies", when Tyrus (a Kran) asks you if you want to hear some of his poetry and you say yes, the line "Tyrus clears his throat then speaks loudly." is used. It should be kra's, should it not?

Also, I've noticed that some parts of the game use "kras" while others say "kra's", when they both refer to personal possessions. I can't name any specifics since I can't really get ingame right now, nor was I paying attention when I really saw them, but it would be nice to clarify which one is proper, as well as mentioning (if it hasn't been mentioned already) what "Gemma" means. I'm guessing it means something like "Sir" or "Ma'am", but if used in a sentence such as "I met a fine sir yesterday" as "I met a fine Gemma yesterday", would it still be capitalized?

And since I can't double-post, I'm putting this in here as well. The book "Races in Yliakum" doesn't sound like it was written by any citizen of Yliakum itself, but it more sounds like a book saying "Welcome to Yliakum, here's what we are", which since every citizen is born in Yliakum, it doesn't make much sense to have it there. On the website it's nice information when looking up the races, but as an ingame library book it sounds too artificial, such as when it mentions that Yliakum is a melting pot for races and etc.

Another one:  I just asked Harnquist about two skills he teaches:

"about swordmaking", and "about blacksmithing".  He doesn't know about either!  In general I think NPCs should have something to say about each skill they can train you in.
