Information Revealed Out of Sessions

§ Information
Session 46 James Absolom later revealed out of session how the Antimagic Field worked. Essentially Malachi Darkthorne † had reengineered The Tower to force all magic in the affect area to go through it rather than just straight from The Realm of Mana to the material plane. He could then hook into the tower and control which spell happened and what didn't. this is also how he was able to hear Mordecai speak while they were turned into gold as he could understand all magical communication happening within the tower's reach.
Session 27 James Absolom later revealed that the harengon is now dead and dragons in the image are The Black Dragon and Niaross † - not The Gold Dragon like what was originally suspected.
Session 26 James Absolom revealed before the session that we had seen the Xekai symbol recently
Session 26 The airship at the start was from the OFC holding OFC ship from The Desert
Genevieve † James Absolom revealed that Genevieve †'s long lifespan was a result of a crystal mentioned to be in her office. He was trying to direct The Party to investigate further but they became fixated on the find her her lover instead. Before he could get them back on track they became incredibly drunk and awoke in Lost Haven.
Ashira Yelris † James Absolom revealed that Ashira died because she gave up the emerald swan amulet when her daughter was born. The amulet was keeping her alive.

Other Information

Most tables are actually database query searches and will automatically update when new information is added. DM Sam Gallon if you have any suggestions on possible searches.

As always, you should talk to James Absolom if you have any ideas or thoughts relating to the campaign. NEVER keep secrets from the DM. This is a collaborative storytelling game, and it only works well if the storyteller knows what's happening. They might even be able to make it happen better than you expected.
