well we know rathma means student. and some one earlier was saying about the end of the last sin war book is kala. well i finished yesterday it is kalan. kalan means teacher. so try to translate those too words and see if they are similir to the dwarfish language.
You could always make a note about your novel not being offical lore, as well it's not, it might use a large chunk of it, but certain aspects are speculation, do not assume them to be fact.
I have to do that with the RP thread.
THats the best idea. Except, don't just say that its not official, explain that it is as accurate as possible given the information provided at the time of writing. And maybe even an example that mentions that the necromancer's city was not yet officially named. That gives it abit more sympathy, so people don't get all angry and think that its crap. Even though that will likely happen anyway.
I had to make that note to "cover my ass" What is said in that thread or happens in that thread shouldn't be taken as lore.
For example if I was to have my necromancer in that thread perform some necromantic ritual that has never been mention by Blizzard or anyone prior to me writing it, you shouldn't go and think, that necro in the RP thread did that ritual thing, so all necromancers must be able do that too.
It's somewhat a rule of fan fiction, it's not required you make a note of it, but it is a good idea to do it.

-Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.
i think i have figured it out. ok in the manual it does say they have a underground city. it also says "their culture has subsisted in the shadow of the great mage clans from the earliest days,and in most ways their practice reaches back to a time before magic was formalized into strict disciplines." after reading this i thought of the end of the sin wars 3rd book. in the city of kehjan the book said something special about the city. there was a city under kehjan. another thing i thought was how could the necromancers make a city underground? i suppose they dont have many followers to be able to make an underground city. the only way i can think they could make an underground city is if trag'oul helps. but it would be more likely that they could have just used the underground city under kehjan. i just thought of this the other day. excuse the thread necromancy. hope this helps some.
How is that figuring out the name? A good point, but you didn't come up with a name for the underground city. "Undercity", you could of at least said that.
But you are thinking, I like that.

Yeh, we are kinda more interested in a name than it's location, but location is important too.

Hmm, that is an interesting thought. I was wondering how they built it too, but then again, how did they build anything in that world with no construction workers? lol. But yeah, it would be cool if they were in that city under another city. It makes sense. Though, come to think of it, how does that even happen? What do they use to seperate the two? Dirt? Where from? Thats a hell of a lot of dirt. Ah I'm spoiling the idea of it, crapsticks, I shouldn't think technically. Lets just say magic. Yes, magic, of course.
well in the book there were something like trap doors that whent there. oh and i think the name of that city is in the book. but i think it was only once by rathma and it would take me a week to find it if i had nothing to do. but ya i will try and see if they mention the name of that city in the book.
Pretty sure we have had people check the books before, they didn't find shit.

Yeah nah, its not in the books, don't worry. If it was, Solomir would know, cause he makes notes as he reads them, so he wouldn't miss anything. I so wish I had have done that lol.
btw Necronergal, I really like your new avatar! Extremely cool.
