Ok, let's organize what I have learned until now. And however I may want to avoid it, I should also examine my status. In truth, I have been worried about any titles, or abilities, or whatever I may have gotten after killing... Especially about the first one, as from what I gathered, to enter any real city (like the Kingdom one's) and to cross any border, the respective guards will make one stand in a thing called 'Identify Plate'. Thankfully, the information I managed to glimpse in the guild explained that this treasure would only show one's name and titles, and only the ones normally visible by 'Analyze'.

There is a more advanced version of it called 'Analyze Plate', one that would show everything visible to the respective Spell, but such plates are extremely rare, and except the capitals and a few special locations, I should not meet one of them during my journey.

But thankfully, criminal titles (that can not be hidden), as well as the bounties, could be only assigned with the use of a special treasure.

Another important bit of information I learned was why that my looks (namely my white hair) have not made anyone ask about them. It turned out that it was pretty common for people that had any 'Dominion' ascendancy to exhibit traits like that. There were also other traits like extreme stature, or pronounced canines, etc.

Miscellaneous Knowledge

Measurements

For weight, the only four that I have found from the Guild branch here in Churg:

Barrel (5 stones)

Stone (About 6.35 KG as I learned before my arrival)

Halfa (1/2 Stone)

Pebble (1/10 Stone)

For length and distance, the three I learned were unknown and with no reference, but thankfully I found one later. And so I can consider known to me:

Primordial Step (8 Krewila)

Krewila (40 werhn)

Werhn (About 5 meters as I learned from experience)

Probably others exist, but these are pretty much enough for me to get at least a grip.

Time & Calendar

From my own experience, the "day" is about the same as on Earth. But from what I learned, for now, it seems that it's divided into 22 segments. These "hours" are numbered, but clocks are something present only in the richest or noble estates. Even the Guild here does not have one, so people usually just orient themselves by the position of the sun or moon.

There are normally 11 Sun "hours" (Daytime) and 11 Star "hours" (Nightime). But it changes for winter, where there are only 10 Sun(s) and to the other side in summertime (10 Star(s)).

So if we take into account the presence of a clock, midday should be somewhere around... the 5th Sun (?).

Churg uses the Kingdom's calendar, which is simply a renamed one of the Empire (and so can be considered the normal human calendar).

Only two seasons have actual names, being the Ice (Albeit Winter seems to be used as well) and the Fire (Summer works fine), with the earth spring and autumn going as "mid-season". I could not find much information about this, and asking something so common would be strange, so I hope to find a book or scroll that explains this.

As I was never awake during the night, I did not notice, but... There is a single moon that follows about the same circle as on earth, just slightly slower and exact.

Months are referred to as Mooncircles (Or Moons for short), and contain 32 days. Except for every 8th day, which is called Gods day, no other days of the 8 days week are named.

As a side note, I am referring to the moon as the moon, but the formal name would be "Ascolia".

The sun also has a formal name, namely "Infrus".

12 equal Mooncirles constitute a year (the term is the same). The Kingdom names the months for the ancient Primordials who ruled the world before the gods (any gods?) arrived.

Xiro, Lord Of The Snow - Winter

Izzae, Lord of The Ice - Winter

Puray, The First Life - Midseason

Iphio, The Magnificent - Midseason (and also the 1st month of the year!)

Rasu, The Flaming - Summer

Rophedoa, The Scorching - Summer

Qirviontut, Eternal Fire - Summer

Rionniantel, Lord Of The Yellow - Summer

Saekeidud, The Deluge - Midseason

Ygiriorth, The Dark One - Midseason

Ziandrierth, Lord Of The Hail - Winter

So anyway, today is the 3rd day of the Growing Moon (2nd week) of Rasu.

The current Kingdom's year is the 102nd year of the Sword (Seems to be counted since the kingdom lands took up arms and became a state).

World, Countries, Religions, Surrounding Lands

The information in the guild was indeed a bit cut and failed to include things that I would consider basic knowledge (E.G. Population, Country Size), but it did allow me to learn a few things.

Both the world and the biggest continent known and inhabited is called Lieade. The name is an amalgamation of the Elfic words "Lieat" and "De" respectively meaning "Living" and "Ground".

This is considered the true version, but there were also another two explained in the scroll that I was given to read.

One version claims that the name came from the human words "Li" and "Ader", which mean "Holy" "Land".

And the second one claims that albeit human, the first word was actually "Liea", which means "Our".

The information about races and other inhabitants, as well the countries and states were poorly presented, but I did glean at least a pair of details and the names of each country. And thanks to the young clerk or secretary that had led me to the map and scrolls, I complemented it with a pair of interesting facts.

Kingdom of Neverc - The one closest to me, located only a few hours towards the north. One of the major human states in the world. Renowned for the Knightly Orders it houses, as well for being the only human state with no single religion. One of the "breakaway" states.

Litwalian Empire - Located to the west of my location. Previously the only human state, it remains the biggest one in the entire world.

Their newly ascended emperor is rumored to be someone blessed by the gods and the country has a lot of extreme laws, at least for the commoners. The latter was the reason for the people who founded Churg to escape from there.

Kingdom of Kishelia - Somewhere to the northwest. A human state rival to the Kingdom of Neverc. The current King is just 7 or 8 years old. One of the "breakaway" states.

Radowian Republic - West of Kishelia (?). Most of the population are humans, but seemingly other races are easily accepted. Originally was a single city founded by the Empire, but was later given some conditional freedom and became a separate state during the Empire breakup. Not really a "breakaway" state, but is considered one as well.

Triumvirate of Xult'tak - West of the Republic (?). The only found information says it's a land inhabited by "Half-beasts", "Half-monsters", "Half-people".

Council of Great Forest - The northwestern end of the continent. Inhabited solely by Elves. Entry is prohibited without a special invitation.

Holy State of Lithandia - The northeastern end of the continent, borders Neverc. Was initially founded as a group of fortified cities designated to enforce Imperial rule in the region. Now is a closed, religious, human-only country. One of the "breakaway" states.

Kigur (Also called the Wild, Barbarians, or Tribes) - A loose group of towns, steadings, and migratory tribes occupying the lands that border Lithandia's south. No information about their population was found.

Sharagzian Kingdom - Southeast end of the continent. Except for the fact that their main inhabitants are dwarves, no information is present.

The last state would be the Minardean Dominion. It is located in a separate continent to the far west (?). Has been at war with the Litwalian Empire since both powers discovered each other. Most of the prisoners, merchants, diplomats, etc. are human (but have a lot of differences to the local ones) but it's rumored to be a land inhabited by a lot of other races.

For the religious part, there was just a small mention of seven known religions in one of the scrolls. And even that one was mainly about what items are considered important/sacred/used in worship. So except for the names, I am almost in the dark. Well, except about the things I managed to learn about from my guide.

Overseeing Ten - A pantheon of ten gods, each with his specialization. The main god is called Osbus, The God of Life. The main tenets are to work hard and make the gods proud of you. A temple is present in almost every Kingdom of Neverc's city, and the capital has individual temples of every god. It is also very popular in the Radowian Republic and the main religion of the Kingdom of Kishelia. Each of the gods has a small separate cult, followed by men and women who feel closer to its specialization (E.G. The clerk is both a follower of the Ten and the Cult of Yona, Goddess of Luck, Fortune, and Commerce).

Items - Depending on the god (can be from a simple coin to jewelry, tools, or food).

Imperial Faith - Main tenet reads that Zihet, the supreme conqueror, along with his heavenly generals rules the heavens and from there encourages the chosen one (Emperor) to emulate him on land. Has a far more open-minded branch called Zihetism, which is well accepted in the Kingdom of Neverc and common between military men. For this latter, the idea is that any warrior is a chosen of the supreme conqueror, and the better one fights, the more close he becomes to being selected for the heavenly army.

Items - Weapons and Armor.

Beast Lords - Common in the Triumvirate, seems (actually marked as seems, I wonder why?) to have a small temple in the Kingdom's Capital as well.

Items - Beast and Monster fangs, claws, tusks, pelts.

Mother Nature - Elven religion, has no gods or deities, being more or less a codex of conduct and respect for the land and its beings. Uncommon everywhere except the Elven Great Forest, but has a few shrines in other lands.

Items - Wooden accessories and herbs.

Cult of Buxoshi - A small religion that came from the Dominion. Follows a single god, namely Buxoshi, the god of the Circle. A small temple is present near the Kingdom's Capital.

Items - Refined Materials.

The One - The religion of the Holy State of Lithandia. The main tenet goes along the lines that all gods except one are fake. Albeit not outlawed in the Kingdom of Neverc, it is not represented with temples or shrines (at least from my guide's words).

Items - Incense, Candles, and Aromatic Herbs.

Gathering of Eitrezor - A dwarven religion about which no details are shared with other races.

Items - Gemstones (a small note next to it reads "likely").

As I was told by Reuben, the map present in the Guild was pretty small, and only covered what looked to be around two-three hundred km to each direction (at least judging from the time to reach Megvuroz).

Inventory & Equipment

After the previous discussion (during which I mainly kept quiet and the girls decided things), we have bought a few dozens of things. Also, it was decided that I should keep my magic hidden for a while, especially while we travel with people we don't know.

This means that everything that I should carry, will be now present physically, with my storage relegated for things that should be hidden, or simply will be not needed.

Money

After all the purchases and getting paid by Dorina, my wallet contains 14 Silver Crowns, 3 Town Coppers, 3 Small Coppers.

Which amounts to 158 coppers in total.

Equipment

Black Cloth Shirt Purse Black Cloth Pants Knapsack Leather Boots (with socks!) Cloth Belt (Cut from the cloth I bought) Knife (The bandit's one, tucked under the belt) Health Potion x2 (tucked under the belt)

Inventory (Knapsack)

Portable kitchen stuff

(Flat trivet, small cauldron, bakestone, spit, and sundries) Unperishable ingredients for two days meals

(Grains, dried vegetables, stockfish (resembles a dried cod), jerky) 5 canteens (a liter each), 4 used for water, and the last is still filled with the bandit's alcohol (strong herbal liqueur called Witch's Grog by Zakhar) Bandit's Hatchet

(Added as a tool) Flint & Tinder Cloth cleaning and maintenance stuff

(Lye soap, washing board, needles, thread, scissors) Two bundles of cloth A thick blanket One werhn of "good" rope

(About 5 meters long, 5 cm thick). A small portable oil lamp and a small wooden bottle of oil (about 0,3 liter)

I wanted to find a sheat for the sword and carry it on me, but after asking Zakhar, he said that it would be unwise. Seemingly carrying a sword would sign me as a warrior, and whatever happened on the road I would be better considered as a clerk. It sounded a bit ominous, but I agreed that it was better to keep myself away from any incident.

Inventory (Storage)

All my improvised tools and clothes, the remaining 10 herbs, the poisonous herbs, some food (fish, bread, etc.), a spare knapsack, the 'Earth Blood', the 'Gloomclaw', some trash (grasses, leaves, rocks), the remaining bandit's stuff (including the... ahem... bounty), and even about 10 liters of clean water.

Dorina's notes are also stored, as I considered it to be "strange" for a simple "clerk" to carry something like that openly. In any case, I will give them a read when the time permits as they are pretty thick (I would say about 4 meters long if the 12 scrolls are combined).

Now it's time for me to sleep as tomorrow my first "job" starts.

We will be traveling from Churg to Megvuroz, a journey that is expected to take an entire week. Our first stop will be the Kingdom's border town, Drogzilg. And the latter is 20 "Primordial Steps" (32 km?) from here. Let's try and not jinx it, but... Sepyre, give me a safe journey!

It's for your sake after all!!!
