I'm writing a run that has one of my runners in possession of well-preserved parchments from the Fourth World. They are currently sealed in a metal scroll case and he has yet to open the case and read the contents (well, try to read them). I'd like to make what follows, believable from both a Fourth and Sixth World perspective.
1) What language was used commonly in the Fourth World? 2) Who would possess the knowledge in the Sixth World to translate it? 3) What secret societies, groups, or nefarious types would be interested in Fourth World lore? Your thoughts and ideas are welcome. Thanks. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (edit: Question #3 Sixth World lore > Fourth World lore.. thanks, Tanegar) |
