Quote from: Sichr on <01-25-14/0449:39>Funny part of thw topic of inexistent dwarven homeland...most Caers in 4th world were built by dwarves, Throal etc...iirc, and by allowing people inside they helped metahumanity to survive the Scourge. Until they have an oportunity to discover the legacy of their kind, they may seem to have minor role in the setting. Strange no word about this hitvthe streets, with SK and Atlantean foundation diging the Ukraine/Barsaive for a few decades. I have plotline for this in my games, well iirc there is much less about that in official game sources. Or did I missed something?There's also the Atlantean Foundation's ongoing archaeological digs on the island of Santorini, in the Aegean Sea - it's relevant because in the Bronze Age (real world) Santorini was actually named Thera. I think it was the great dragons who spread the know-how of building kaers, not dwarves. There were dwarven, orkish, trollish and elven kaers, built by each metatype.Considering the topological changes in the Barsaive area, which nobody seems to have clued into, S-K and the AF are searching the wrong area (if they want to find Throal, anyway).

Yes, it gets tinkered around some, but ...ICly, you're also talking about events of 5,000+ years ago, and a bunch of people who don't want to blab, and have reasons to cover up or discredit theorization. And how, exactly, can one say, "Oh, this is clearly dwarven work" when your current oldest known dwarven work is fifty years old???I am aware of that schism that happened after Fasa broke down some years ago. Well I am not sure if there is official line that says: there are no links to that game and universe, now we are doing is differently... how deep and significant is zhat divide...if you have some insight?
