Istarian Imponderables...

[Shian]

Post in meant in jest, usually questions asked from my character's perspective of the crazy world that is Istaria. Based on the "Imponderables" book series. Surely there are more clever people than I that can add thier own questions?


-Why are there massive Yew Trees on Dralk?

-Does anyone find it strange that Ice Pygmies sometimes drop two heads?

-Why do "small wallets" look quite a bit larger than "Large
wallets"?

-For that matter, how come I can hoard items in flight, but not use money bags?

-Is there a reason deer hang out with wisps?

My questions are terrible on multiple levels compared to yours. xD Good thread; I look forward to reading other replies.

I can answer that one! All new players are given the Beginner Buoyancy Vest form when they visit NT.

Why do saris never shed?

They do, in private, when nobody is looking ...

Some of these are great! I was looking more for the "My character is questioning game mechanics" responses.

-How does the water get in my bucket when only the flat bottom of it is connecting with the well?

-Why is a biped's recall roar just as loud as a dragon's? (I still don't get this one. When I started playing, I thought is was my dragon's roar when I recalled.. until I heard that a biped's is the same thing o.O)

[Takora Drakan]

Why does the bucket get full with milk and eggs when I BEAT the poor animal with it?

You can fall from mountains without breaking anything, but you can drown in a little pond?

[DazaBlackDragon]

-How can I pick up multiple heads from pygmies?

-Why do named beetles often give two or more eyes?

-Why can have wings that can support them in flight, yet their legs don't seem to support them for a simple jump?

[Shian]

Golems have a tendancy to guard thier resources and attack any that try to gather them.

So why is it, when we're trying to kill the anchors that's polluting said resources, the golems are more content to whomp on us than the menacing blight creatures running amok in thier field?

[Takora Drakan]

They are piles of rock shian, what do you expect from them?

-Has an enchanter tried making an orb out of Flame Essence? It would make a neat anti-snowball. (use on dragon only)

-If an enchanter tried combining Flame Essence and Storm Essence, what happens? It might make a neat weapon....

[C`gan]

-If an enchanter tried combining Flame Essence and Storm Essence, what happens? It might make a neat weapon....

Personally, I think if you were to combine the two of them, you'll get one of three things:
1. Water (I have yet to see a storm not put out a fire)
2. Steam
3. Nothing (mutual annihilation).
