May 31, 2005 22:01:06 Is there any info on the palace in Draj?
My high lvl players will be infiltrating Draj's palace in search for ancient books and scrolls. I want info though before I draw the map myself.

Its pyramidal, has many levels, one of them given over housing the king and queen (now its a prison for former queen Tionaca, IIRC, check City-State of Draj to make sure), and is guarded by an obsidian guard, one of the fiew that still exist.

Jun 01, 2005 8:54:21 One of the things that I think's the most interesting about Draj, that's rarely remarked on, is the ruins that lie beyond it on the island. Draj is actually built on the mudflat: there's an island just beyond it that Tec outlawed everyone from going to. Man, I can think of fifty adventures right there.

Jun 01, 2005 19:57:53 Is that the one that used to be a temple or something in the green age and now soldiers stationed there are disapearing? It's mentioned in city state of Draj. Some fort on the road that leads north east to the two Kurn and that other city.

anyways thanks evryone, especially Pennarin. The location of Tionica.

As co-author of City-State of Draj, I'd like to know that too, since if that reference exists, its something I think we might have missed.

And, as co-co-editor, this was something that particularly caught my eye. The entry in question is indeed from City-State of Draj. The reference concerns one Fort Ral and is on page 4 (in the last paragraph of the section on said fort).

However, this is not the one Dawn's looking for.

Jun 04, 2005 21:37:05 I can't remember where I read it, but I'm sure I did and I thought it was in a 2e book. Looking through my pile of books, though, I'm not seeing it. I could swear there were ruins on that island NE of Draj, and that Tec had forbade anyone to go there, even his templars. Am I crazy?

Am I crazy?

In a word - HORRIBLY :D

As for your mysterious entry, just looked through both Veiled Alliance and The Wanderer's Chronicle, and NO DICE! As for The Wanderer's Journal, nothing to the North or East of Draj was covered, so I'm guessing it's not there either .

Perhaps your thinking of something from a magazine article or fan site?

Jun 04, 2005 22:28:51 Must be, but I could swear I read it on paper, and I don't print out web sites. Maybe it was just an idea I had? Man, turn 30 and your mind goes to hell.
