The Mute: Day I Really Ought to Take Note of What Day It Is

Lessons Learned
  • Dragons in this part of the world are quite rude.
  • In this part of the world, it is considered an honorable battle to fight lunatics, old women, and invisible people.
  • These lunatics are also responsible for trees that bleed, but only at night in remote parts of the forest with no witnesses.
  • These lunatics also have an otter with a "dying problem".
  • People in this part of the world customarily dishonor the dead.
  • Here, "Tea" is slang for some manner of party.
  • There are unfriendly lizard men in the mountains.
  • They do not appreciate alcohol, and express their dislike in an explosive fashion.
  • Lizard men consider Elves food.
  • Lizard men have lizard pets.
  • Lizard men are not very good fighters.
  • Ismere is a large city, housing the lord who has lost the mandate of heaven.
  • Ismere have weapons sellers who can at least craft standard weapons, though they do not keep them in stock.
Questions for Further Study
  • Do the "honorable" here also have delusional visions and hear voices in their heads?
  • Is murdering the pets of the mentally challenged also considered honorable?
  • Did the lords here lose the mandate of heaven because of the dishonoring of the dead?
  • Do lizard men have weak stomachs, such that they cannot hold their liquor?
  • When a lord has his lands ravaged by bandits and dragons, his ports supernaturally frozen over, his people dishonoring their ancestors, and a population so hedonistic that even drinking tea is a cause for a party, can it be assumed that the gods have informed this lord that he has lost the mandate of heaven, or will he be too deaf to hear them, and must we mortals then step in and inform him of heaven's clear judgment?
