[@Zealous Blade] Ooh more mysteries! So the hunger was a plague that turned people into zombie-like ravenous monsters, and it permeated from the castle -- so Ceolmaer cast a spell, using his own sacrifice as charge, to seal the hunger inside the castle? And the hunger may still be spreading elsewhere?

I should do a synopsis on spellcasting too. Hmm...

[@Crawkid] Purple ore! Yeaa! This is totally the stone used in the FENIKS project, and the floating stones in a yet unwritten location. Maybe even the power source of some manufactured Ruse.

Definitely have to write that thing on witchcraft, haha.
