Tom or Tim, can you see how many scrolls already have been used?
I am quite curious.

Just the one that I have heard of, but it is certainly possible that others have done so in far greater secrecy than Henzo did. That would quite possibly require the collusion of a realm's government though, since judges are apparently notified under at least some circumstances when someone in the realm uses magic.

This poses an interesting question:  Are there realms out there conducting secret tests right now? Or is everyone too wary of the stigma of using them to risk it? For that matter, have any realms even had a conversation about or set a policy on what should be done with these scrolls? Caelum certainly has not. Spellcasting is illegal, but as of right now there is no policy to tell Lords what they should do with any scrolls that might fall into their hands.

We all know what they are and what they're theoretically capable of in general terms thanks to the forum here, but what about our characters? Have other realms had people express questions or concerns about these scrolls? Or are they just taken quietly for granted (which would be a shame, I might add)?

If it's illegal, the realm might know a scroll was used. But it won't tell them which one. I think there's also a chance he won't be caught, as per illegal looting.

Everything is legal in Thalmarkin.

Sypher

Spellcasting isn't illegal in Fronen but is reported to the Judge according to the realm laws. To my knowledge no one in Fronen has used a scroll but I'm not the Judge.

Isn't Rio doing some internal testing by setting them off in their own regions, and seeing what happens? I thought I saw something on the forums about that. Or maybe it was a plan that they were thinking about doing.

If it wasn't a secret test, I'd say that you've hit the nail.

But it's a secret test, so no, we're just... errrrrr... gathering in region to dance mambo and some monsters and undead joining us for fun and cookies?

Brace yourselves, Riombara.

You've got an Astroist anti-republican about to show up on your doorstep.

Heh. Glad to hear! But...anti-republican? In Riombara? Yeh gods!  :)

An Astroist to boot. The Bloodstars are spreading?

But we're a democratic republic, so that should soften that problem ;) Besides, with who's already there in Riombara, it seems he will fit in just nicely.

Marche will just have to see him converted and it will be all good.
