I finally got around to reading the Ergoth trilogy in the
last week, and I have two (and a half) questions from the
third book and one question about the trilogy as a whole.
1. Toward the end of the book, Ackal V (Nazramin) reveals
that he's known about the nullstone for a while. I can't
find where they explain how he found out about it in the
first place. Anyone know something I missed (or have a good
theory)?
2. When the heroes gain entry to Caergoth and have arrested
the governor, they're going through his things and he leads
them to a hidden stash of correspondence. At the end of the
section, Egrin burns a couple of letters after Tol leaves.
They never explain why he does this. Shortly before that
part, they mention that Valaran has a spy in Tol's camp, but
they never say who it is. I can't believe it's Egrin,
considering how loyal he is to Tol, but that's kind of the
impression they leave. Again, anyone know something I
missed (or have a good theory)?
Finally, does anyone know why they portrayed clerics they
way they did, as people who healed through poultices and
such, rather than through divine healing? The timeline is
far before the Cataclysm, so there should still be divine
healing, but they don't use it, instead acting as though
it's not available. I know it works better, plot-wise, but
I don't understand the logical reason, unless there's
something in the setting's timeline that precludes its use.
Thanks for your help!
