This a a page for questions Harald has asked Al Khidr and the answers he received. Feel free to add questions under the appropriate subheadings. I am going on a text-by-text basis for the most part.

• Misc.
  • Q: Can you ID any of the loot we got from Evelake?

Nope.

• • Q: Ditto for the mist that surrounds him.

Not really. It is fairly recent.

• • Q: And the demon in his basement?

Sounds like a demodand. Likely asking for a service, but might be about politics.

• • Q: Who are the Donestrae?

Ass-men, duh. Not cannibals.

• • Q: What is their Book of Life?

Jive. They just have ESP.

• Al Khidr himself
  • Q: What are your powers?

Mostly healing. Can cast Restoration, Remove Curse, Raise Dead, True Seeing, Animate Object.

• • Q: Do you have any pals who might still be around?

Every Muslim ever.

• • Q: How did you get trapped in Nemi?

Evelake tricked him into killing the old Nemi King.

• • Q: How could you get free?

By being killed, or maybe by cutting a deal with the local deity (ie, Artemis of Nemi).

• Morkoth Riddle Pointing to the 50 Names
  • Q: Do you know any of the names of God?

Nope.

• • Q: When did the Names get distributed? Who learned them, and where did they go from there?

Everyone used to know them; several were put onto magic items to power them. Lost during Babel incident. Moses get them again, and put them into the ark. Solomon distributed them to the tribes from the Ark.

• • Q: What are the Names good for?

Some B minions are vulnerable to them (acts like Holy Word), but matching name of god to minion may be tough. (1 Name/round/person).

• • Q: What happend to Serah?

She was worshipped as a Goddess by a lost tribe or something. She also may have married Siebel, Bek of the Khazars.

• • Q: Where did Issachar go?

Went to Europe.

• • Q: Ditto for Asher.

Who knows? Maybe River of Stones.

• • Q: Ditto for Efraim.

(Gives some info that leads me to deduce that they are the Khazars).

• • Q: Other lost tribes?

Some tribes beyond the river of stones. Manasseh went to China, then back to India, where they remain. General Khaled found Zebulon in Afganistan, and converted them to Islam. Dan might be far to the North (ie, the Danes), and Naptali went furthest East.

• • Q: What's up with the Masons and the names?

Hired by a rouge Muslim(?). Probably Jewish in origin. Only Solomon, Hiram of Tyre, and Hiram of Bif knew the secrets of building the Temple. Greatest architectural marvel, antediluvian techniques. Temple mostly built by Judah tribesmen.

• Al-Aziz
  • Q: Hey Al Khidr, let me summarize this so you won't go mad. Now, any idea where the moonscar is?

Serene of Syria gave a lot of this info. False messiah with anceint wisdom, or something. Kayumarth was first King of the Whole Damn World. He ceded authority to his son Tieamek, retired to a cave. Fought a bunch of titatontheres. Son Huschek fought a bunch of titan types. Around time of Enoch.

• • Q: Also, or perhaps therefore, where and what is Lucifer/Promethues?

Lucifer in Hell, Prometheus in Cuacauses. Prometheus seemed like a decent guy, but Al Khidr lacked the will to break his chains. Al Khidr thinks he is not important, but he's been wrong before.

• • Q: Who lived through the Flood, and how and where?

Got a list.

• • Q: Are these dates correct? i.e., World created in 9514 BC, Flood in 7964BC.

Yep.

• • Q: What is the Black Ball? Why is it important?

Rumors say it floats around, don't touch it. Like a big malevolent sphere of annihilation.

• • Q: Who wrote this? Is it accurate?

Seems OK.

• • Q: Who is the Wanderer?

Ahasuerus. Compelled to wander about.

• • Q: Who is the German?

Germanus- Half Syrian, half Roman orphan. A childhood friend of Ahasuerus. Also immortal. Known for his magical skill; kind of a fraud/con artist.

• • Q: What/where is the Shawl of Job? Is this just a metaphor for extreme suffering?

A magic item (three shawls)- 1 given to each daughter. Each has a power: 1 lets you ascend to heaven. Aliha ben Abuya (tribe of Manasseh)- dualist heresy, saw Metatron sitting down.

• Amentaris and Kallikrates
  • Q: What is the meaning of the friezes we saw in Kor (sick old man, forced to drink somehting, then dead)?

Maybe mummification process.

• • Q: Who is the "old philosopher" at the mouth of the Cave of the Fire of Life and Death?

2 fires- Life and Death, and Death. Look the same, and both drain magic. Go for the one on the right. Don't eat the body of an immortal from the pillar.

• • Q: Who is Ayesha, and what is her story?

Attar has a similar story to Ayuesha. Entered pillar with lover, but only one made her roll. Attar still wandres deserts. Noat and Jedderlace did the pillar.

Strike you dead by gesture. Detach her head and fly around. Leared how from two ladies, one East one North.
