    Morokanth Tribe (page 121)
    Change
    Correction

    This is due to ignorance: they do not know of the Survival Covenant, and they have not experienced the hard life of the plains of Prax, nor or they would know of the desperation that drove men and beasts to risk becoming herd-things in return for a chance to survive at all.

    The tribe is originally from Dragon Pass, founded in 1420 by Derik Pol-Joni to protect Old Tarsh from the nomads.

    Climate (page 122)

    The start of this section says “Prax was beloved of Eiritha and was fertile and pleasant, but she gave its essence to aid the Storm Bull against the Devil. Now, little grows here”.

    To me this sounds wrong, or at best misleading. It reads as if it was Eiritha blasted the whole of Prax instead of the Devil. Eiritha was responsible only for the devastation of the Dead Place, wasn’t she?

    Quote

    Eiritha then lent him all her Power, and, where he had lain, the land lay withered and was forever the Dead Place.

    The Dead Place is where he lay (where his heart laid actually – look at its shape) and it was transformed into what it is now. Eiritha lent him all her power. She along with Storm Bull, Ragnaglar, Wakboth, the Death of Genert, Tada, Yamsur, Seolinthur and all the unnamed sons of Storm Bull were together responsible for the laying the land wasted. It was pretty much the final effort to save the world, but at what cost.
