      Damal’s treatise on the four elements was inspired by a thread on Dunefolk Lore that I read on the Battle for Wesnoth forums here. The part that particularly caught my attention was this:

      Four elemental forces each bleed through into the material plane.

      The Sun bleeds through and creates the scorched deserts.
      The Seas bleed through and create the fertile coasts and river valleys.
      The Winds bleed through and create the windswept highlands.
      The Deeps bleed through and create the mineral-rich underground.

      After this part, there was some discussion of the Aether, which factored heavily into my explanations of magic as our game progressed.

                    • GM Notes

                      As usual, I used some Battle for Wesnoth units as inspiration for this arc. You heard us talking about liches that have four arms. That is based on the artwork for the Ancient Lich unit. Sir Marthynec and his fellow knights were guarded by Revenants. In the caverns, our heroes are attacked by Skeleton Archers. The staffs that Tric and Heppa have recovered match the two examples in the artwork for the Dark Sorcerer. The rod that Ulf got to keep was based what a regular Mage carries.
