I thought there were teacher characters (at least one in gug and another in Hydlaa, though I can't remember their names)

See ... and the Knowledge Seekers used to roleplay running their university. And I've seen another guild once, made for "children" characters, having teachers as guild member levels. The need for education found roleplayers. May it also find settings!

Malco doesnt have enough money to pay for getting his hammer fixed, but upon finishing the quest, he gives you way more than it would have cost for repairing the hammer.

*Rizin goes to raise the price of fixing hammers!

Kidding...

I'll try and poke that this weekend.

I've noticed a lot of different ways of typing Black Flame:

Black Flame, Blackflame, and BlackFlame. Not too big of a problem, but it might be best to go through and make sure they're all typed the same way. :P

Not even "Stone( )[B|b]reaker" is consequent, Shaman...

The book "The Secret of the Garden" talks about a tower being built inside the secret garden but this is no more true as there is a three now

That is not an inconsistency. There used to be a tower there, but it was destroyed when Xiosia's tree grew. It will be explained.

Quote from: Important Medical Facts by Raul Ursino
Nolthrir who spend too much time swimming rapidly may develop an infection of the ear and suffer from impaired hearing. Affected Nolthrir are asked to spend time on land until the infection subsides.

It's odd that Nolthrir would be susceptible to ear infections from being in the water -- if they evolved gills and such to live in the lake it stands to reason that they would have evolved a resistance to the infection as well.

It isn't that odd. Humans spend a lot of time doing things which cause us bother. We walk on uneven surfaces but our bones are still brittle.
I suggest the statue of Laanx gets turned into a statue of Parallo <3. An NPC could never replace the huge hole he left in my heart when he died  :'(

We don't get infections from running around though.

Asking for any sense bio-wise is senseless in PS though. Just look at how different races successfully interbreed.
Disclaimer: This is my opinion and I can be reasoned with. I'm probably right, though.

That proves my point further and elborates on something I didn't bother to mention. Take out infection and put in vague injury or discomfort and it makes perfect sense. The modality will obviously be different from what humans experience but logically it can work with evolution. Creature and environment don't always perfectly match. If they did no animal would suffer.

Interbreeding can be chalked up to fantasy-genre magic/tradition, but ear infections seems a little random. Parallo's suggestion of an injury sounds more plausible, especially since we already have precedent with the Klyros' wing spasms.

No, an infection could have an entirely different modality in PS and still be consistent with evolution. Not that it really even matters. Much of the science is a grey mush.

Keep in mind who wrote the book. He might call it an infection when it really is just discomfort. How it's roleplayed won't really change. :)
