History's great and all, but heck, a whole lot of it's boring.(although the history of Exile/Avernum wouldn't be, I'm sure, but the Empire, God thats like, horrible, especialy what they did, why the heck would anyone want any more horrible facts about how they treated people?)
Hmmm....but that's the point. Because there's no written history of Ermarian by Jeff/anyone else, how do we know what the Empire used to be like? Perhaps at one stage it was a golden kingdom of fluffy bunnies and abundant riches for all. Or perhaps it was always a despotic, explotative empire up to the time of Hawthorne (Prazac was a bit better, I think you'll agree). Without history we don't know.

And finally, remember: those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.

Edit: Also, as has been said on the American Conflict Avatars (or whatever it's called) board, empires and countries go through good times and bad times. I suspect that the Ermarian Empire would be the same.

They forgot about Egypt, Nubia, The Moors, Malie, Shunghi, Mongolia, The Hunns, and tons of otther Asian Empires.
The other empires being those such as the Persian, Hittite, Zulu and Babylonian empires. Take Babylon as an example. Look where it is today. This backs up the argument that all empires/countries go through better times and worse times.

Unfortunately, most of the times seem to be worse.

It is interesting to note that more people have the opinion 'Llama?' than 'No'.

Oh yeah, so do I. I forgot that.

As Triksi finished her explanation, the unnamed adventurer took a small breath, as if about to begin a long, important speech. Then he began a long, important speech.

'Friends....we are gathered here as fellow adventurers. As adventurers, we do not wait for Adventure to come to us (here he stared quickly at Moppet) - instead we find Adventure. Today - yes, my friends, this very morn - The Great Four will set out to hunt down Adventure. Mighty Moppet - with...er....what is it you do again?'

Moppet shrugged, as much as it is possible for a rabbit to shrug.

'Well......I can, er, look after the accounts...'

'The accounts?'

'Well yes, erm, adventurers need accountants, you know.....'

'They do?'

'Erm......well...oh yeah, I can hypnotize people too!'

'So your abilities amount to ....accounting and hypnotization?'

'And being a sweet little furry rabbit,' Moppet added in an important voice.

'Yes....I can see you're going to be a valuable asset.....anyway.....oh yes,' said the adventurer, finally regaining his thread, 'and as well as the Mighty Moppet, Saucy Triksi, with her great powers of, um, being saucy? And the Holder Of The Map, of course' he added hastily at a saucy glare from Triksi. 'And a talented pulling-knives-out-of-garters-and-throwing-them-er.'

The adventurer turned to Wise Man, this time with true reverence. 'And, of course, great Wise Man, blessed with his Flying Pack and bladesmanship. Oh, and me.' The last comment was said with a slightly dismissive tone, as if it was only natural that he should be part of such a Party Of Legends.

'Ok folks,' he finished in a less formal tone, 'I think it's haggis for our first meal, at this prestigious Inn.....I'll go and get the sheep.'

The Russians would probably consider it if they had 2 coins to rub together. Or even 1 coin to fiddle around with.

Read it again. Then read the appropriate (cont.) topic. That should give you a rough idea of why (people think) he did it.

The maid reached for her cleavage

'No!' exclaimed the adventurer firmly. 'We agreed not to partake in these activities after....last time'

'Will ye shut up ye old greasy doormat' she replied, 'I'm getting the map'.

Dawn came over the hills, smiling through the windows at the adventurer. The adventurer swore back at the dawn. He was tired and bored, yet feared to let sleep overcome him lest another stray vegetable should bring harm to the fair buxom maid. And he could not stop thinking about the map. The map! He suddenly realised that his adventures would begin again that morn, so long as he got the map. Months of traling round inns would be over.

Nevertheless, for the present he was bored. He idly poked the wall with his sword, deepening the uneven ruts in the granite. The wall made a 'pock' sound rather than the 'ktt' he had been expecting, and he suddenly realised why as the wall collapsed, revealing a small chamber behind.

This time the adventurer abandoned all subtlety and ran after the buxom barmaid, knocking the leprechaun over on the way. Once in the kitchen, away from prying eyes, the adventurer grabbed the maid by the arm.

'Ooooooh, ye're a saucy lad, make no mistake' she exclaimed, but the adventurer was not going to be put off.

'I need....something.'

He winked.

The barmaid adjusted her hair and said 'Well, ye know the going rate, me saucy lad, it'll be....'

'Dammit woman, I need the map!'

But the extremely saucy buxom barmaid said no more. Instead she keeled over, a sharpened asparagus tip embedded in her skull.

The adventurer looked pensive for a couple of seconds, then crawled onto the floor and started shuffling after the barmaid. Unfortunately he failed to notice that the bread was still in his hand and a passing leprechaun tripped up on it. This leprechaun had recently been hit by the 'Weegie* Curse'.

'Ya wee bam!!!' screamed the leprechaun, diving for the adventurer...

*Weegie(s): Scottish term for person(s) originating from / living in Glasgow.

The adventurer growls 'Now don't get cocky with me', and threatens the barmaid with a loaf of bread.

Yes.....BoA unarguably needs the 'something' that you speak of. What would be great is scenarios that encourage us, the consumers, to think, and then develop those scenario ideas into our own scenarios.....or something. You get the idea.
