[quote=@Sarcelle Renard]Hey folks, I've been snooping around the last few days after the Interest Check hooked me in and I just want to say that this looks like a lot of fun. I've been tossing around a few ideas for a character, but I was hoping that someone would be kind enough to answer a few questions before I really sit down and work it out.

1) I didn't see any real mention in the OOC on how exactly the Prae conquered Ominar. Was it through a overwhelming show of force that ended relatively peacefully or was it more of a drawn out and bloody conflict?

2) Are there such a things as military families in Prae culture? And if there are, would it be unreasonable to think that such a family would have a practice in place wherein each heir receives the previous generation's power? 

3) Has an Exeo ever been stripped of the power imparted to them by the God-Queen? And if so, would such an event impair their ability to use magic?

4) I recall seeing some mention of Prae Law somewhere in the lore, but I don't know if I saw it expanded upon. Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction to find that or even briefly explain it to me?

Phew, that's all for now. Thanks for reading through this mess and I truly do appreciate any help you folks can give me with this.

I look forward to working with all of you![/quote]
1.) As mentioned by Tuujaimaa, the prae's takeover of Ominar was entirely non-violent, and was also actually legal. Essentially what occurred was that the prae, over a fair period of time, had their various "civilians" (actually the equivalent of diplomats, ambassadors, and politicians, but disguised as civilians) integrate into the various systems in the city (administrative rolls), until eventually the people unknowningly elected a prae as their governor.

From there the established system, which was now essentially controlled by the prae, could overturn the system they were part of and hand the city over to their leaders, in this case an Exeo by the name of Aismael Vea-vartari. So yeah, that's essentially how that happened.

2.) Definitely. There's even someone with a player character who is in such a family ^_^ That player is Vinsanity, and the character's name is Nasagiel. Also, such a practice is not at all out of the question, though usually a prae only imparts their vis when they are near death because doing so usually kills them. Though due to their "imbuement" ability they can technically give a bunch of vis to another prae without killing them. So yes that's totally plausible.

3.) As Celaira said, yes and yes. Although the process of doing so is sure to kill them if it is done by anyone--unless that individual happens to be the God-Queen.

4.) Yeah, we don't really have any expanded lore on Prae Law at current time. At a distant point in the future we may make some, or maybe sooner than that if it is needed, but honestly except on a situational basis, it's not terribly necessary at current time. However, we'd be glad to answer most questions you have about Prae Law, provided they are sufficiently specific ^_^

Also, welcome to the thread!
