Two questions.

Alright, i was kinda unsure on where to put these, and this seems like the most logical place.

Anyway, my questions, Numero uno is this;

If Illarion isn't on earth, then it must have a different solar system from us, different moons etc, i've looked around for some clue on anything relating this, but nothing, any help on this, or has it simply not been formulated?

Aaaand question the second:

Female dwarves = bearded? It might seem like a jokey question but i'm dead serious.

The Illapedia contains some information:

The avatar of female dwarves shows no beard.

You can RP female dwarves as having beards if you like. I don't see why not.

There are females in real life with beards, so don't see why dwarven females shouldn't be able to have beards. But Estralis' explanation is the most comprehensive. The graphic doesn't show a beard, so normally they won't have beards.

Friedwulfa has a lightly whisker...

Friedwulfa needs to shave to be sexy again.

What about hairy legs?

LifeWonder · Post by **LifeWonder** » Wed Jan 07, 2009 9:31 pm

Lol Joxia has them so I don't see why not.

Seriously, I don't think that female dwarves are as vain as human females for example when it comes to body or facial hair. I think they are a little bit more down to earth, if you know what I mean.
Magdha for sure had hairy legs and some facial hair, though I wouldn't call that a beard.

I feel sorry for the dwarven men.

So there are two moons, but one is in the sky during the day? One moon traveled during the night, to the north, and the other went into the underworld during the night... right? And for that matter, are the moons round, perfect orbs in the sky, or are they slightly pointed or..?

Why? Maybe they like it if the females have hairy legs and some facial hair? You see, if you play a different race you shouldn't play them as small humans for example.

As far as legs go, as long as they bleach it it don't look too bad. And if they don't shave it never gets prickly and scary feeling.

(One of my girlfriends didn't shave, but she was blonde so you couldn't tell. Never did have that shark skin surprise though.

)
Not sure I'd go for facial hair tho.

Sorta OT: Anyone seen those 4e pictures of dwarves?

Edit: Was lying. Actually pretty sure I wouldn't go for facial hair.

Does this mean that there are two moons in Illarion? Sorry, but if you click on the dragon clock you just see one moon. You get the expression that tehre is just one moon.
And I am sure 90% of the players AND the staff think that.

So let us say there is juts one moon, ey?^^

Djironnyma · Post by **Djironnyma** » Sun Jan 11, 2009 3:39 pm

No we have two since ever -.-

...but well it was never really offical

Yeah and the result is that nobody knows this stuff except a handfull.

That's only because of the incompetence of players to teach each other things.

Looking up to the sky is nothing you need to be taught in...

And for me looking up the sky in ILlarion means cliking on this damn dragon clock, which shows ONE moon.

Bellringer · Post by **Bellringer** » Sun Jan 11, 2009 5:08 pm

Agreed with Jupiter here actually...If you can only see one moon, when the engine makes it possible to see the sky, then there is logically only one moon. Like he says, being taught what you can see seems foolish.

Juliana D'cheyne · Post by **Juliana D'cheyne** » Sun Jan 11, 2009 5:31 pm

This is the first I have heard of two moons, or seen in wiki.....I noticed added Aug 08. I guess the difference between Gobiath and Gobaith, it would be nice to have the history correspond with the graphic. On a side note the "history" seems to have ended after January year 5 of the new era.

Well, from the story of the two brothers I deduct that one moon follows the path of the other (chasing each other). So both should be visible. But if one moon consists of a material which does not reflect light it would seem as if there is only one moon (the one reflecting light). If the dark moon is small enough so that you would not immediately notice how it blocks out the stars "behind" it on its path, it would hardly be well known that there is a second moon. A scholar of course would know.

Post by **Jupiter** » Sun Jan 11, 2009 5:44 pm

I would like to hear Staff's opinion about it.

Two ways:
The dragon clock is wrong and will still confuse every char (and PO!).

Or the we will never talk about two moons again and play that there is just one moon, the one you see on the dragon clock.

I suggest the second way, it looks like most of the player did never ever herad of this before this topic was created.

Edit.
Didn't read yours, Magdah.

Well, possible...but to be honest: strange somehow^^

Well, just trying to connect strange things so the result maybe strange as well.

Nice theory for a scholar to share with his students or those willing to listen ingame. We need more loose theories ingame (imho). They always supply me with loads of fun.

In other words you really can not see the second moon? is that a offical GMstatment?

I didn't say a word dear Jupiter. I just said it was a nice theory. You can feel free to try and gain followers for your theories ingame, and get them declared official ingame. It's not like we need to give a statement. Feel free to fantasize and gain followers.
