| #1 Today's Question - In the Sect of the Holy Mother 3 - The House of Dawn, Nikola has a dream about a memory from his childhood. In that dream he and Milan are witnessing the apparent destruction of the some cult thanks to Zoran Pavlovic, Milan's dad. Is the cult in question actually the Sect of the Holy Mother and if so how come the cult is reborn later when Nikola is in East Bizol? |
Answer - Yes, the cult in question is the Sect of the Holy Mother. Thanks to Zoran the cult's outpost near Acitosh(Milan and Nikola's birth place) was destroyed, but at that time the cult had already been scattered across Belia thanks to Venaliter Carius(Presented in part 8). Zoran's success merely slowed down the cult's progress by no more then 5%. All of the sect's outposts were little danger to the people and so nobody cared for them, except a few people such as Zoran who from the start knew they were a big thing. |
| #2 Today's Question - What is a corprass? It was apparently "hired" by the cult to spy on Nikola as we can see he hears it in part 4, gets knocked out by it in part 5, gets pushed into Black Riverside in part 6 and the corprass kills Richard in part 8. Is it just a random creature such as those Plagued Hounds and Zombies from Black Riverside or is it a rare/unique one, such as Pyramid Head? |
Answer - The Corprass is a skilled, fast and agile creature who lacks any magical powers apart from the fast health regeneration. If it were to be damaged in combat it could simply escape and wait a day or two and come back in full strength. The reason why we don't hear or see the creature in the 2nd half of part 6 or part 7 is because it was ambushed by Pyramid Head and severely wounded. The corprass is not a unique monster but it isn't common either. It is a rare monster. |
| #3 Today's Question - Who is Borigard Smith? Apparently he is a famous trader from who Nikola and William get a stomper in the seventh part of the Sect of the Holy Mother. What's his story? |
Answer - Borigard Smith came from a fisherman family from As'Latur. When he was young he decided to combine his natural talent for persuasion and his keen fisherman skills and so he became a fish trader. One thing lead to another and soon enough Borigard Smith became a well known and skilled trader. He most commonly trades between the cities of As'Latur, Red Stone and the Imperial City although he has been known to trade with other counties and even other countries such as Arabel. These days Borigard cares little about trading fish(unless they are rare). He mostly trades rare and expensive goods such as exotic herbs and animal leather. |
| #4 Today's Question - Who are Grizli the Runesmith and his companion Jack the purple frog? We only know that Grizli lives on Rataolo mountain and that he is the one who supplied the saviors(3 of them anyway) with weapons and supplied Nikola with flash powder in the 3rd part of the Sect of the Holy Mother. What's his story and is Jack just a figment of his imagination or is he for real? |
Answer - It is not sure who or what Grizli was before he moved away to the mountains of Rataolo. Some say he was one of the best blacksmiths in the land and that he worked in service to Venaliter Carius. When he found out that he was actually helping the Holy Mother he gone mad and moved away to an isolate place. Another theory suggests that he is one of the last Bermakalts, an ancient guild of men and women who are masters in their craft, weather it's blacksmithing, alchemy, enchanting. The guild used to be very popular at the start of the last Era, but since there are few skilled people these days the guild is falling a part. If this is the case it is not known why Grizli abandoned the guild and went into isolation but some theories suggest that through his teachings he found out something terrible that will occur in the future and gone mad. As for Jack, it is not known weather he exists or not. Grizli started mentioning Jack when he moved to Rataolo and nobody was able to prove that he exists, but nobody has proven that he doesn't exist. It is most likely that Grizli lost part of his sanity, but it is also possible that he enchanted a normal frog and transformed it into Jack. |
| #5 Today's Question - Who are captain Jerrimo and Lieutenant Ben Smayor and what is their connection? |
Answer - Captain Jerrimo is one of the High Councilors of Red Stone. He is in charge of Red Stone's army. Lieutenant Ben Smayor is a lieutenant of Ashfield and a skilled warrior. When the fourth civil war started in Red Stone, Ashfield was involved in operations to take command of Red Stone county, which lead West Red Stone to war against East Red Stone and Ashfield. That is where Jerrimo and Smayor met and since then their friendship grew more and more. |

| #6 Today's Question - Who is Lord Amras and what was his story? |
Answer - Lord Amras was what we call a nationalist and he was one of the supporters of the fourth civil war. Because of his "love" for his people he was chosen as a High Councilor by popular vote. Later he was approached by Adramelech's agents because Adramelech saw him as the weakest link in Red Stone's High Council. Even though Amras agreed to serve the Holy Mother Adramelech killed him because he saw that Amras was serving the Holy Mother because of his fear of death and not because it was the "right" thing to do. |
| #7 Today's Question - What exactly is/was the Serpent and what were the champions that Karolina talks about in the Sect of the Holy Mother 8 - The Last Savior? |
Answer - The Serpent is in fact a demigod. At the time of the creation of the universe the Old Gods set their so called Champions to monitor the world. Among these were the four saviors and the Serpent. They existed as energy rather then matter guiding people and giving advice through various ways, but never directly interfering. These champions could be compared to our Saints. Most of the time their allegiance is neutral, trying to keep a balance between the good and the bad. |
