			This lecture by Xorus was done as part of a [[Frontier Days 2015]] event. The preamble is from a saved post on the message boards. This interpretation of the Broken Lands as a hollow sphere formed from the innards of Lornon is based on a source book from two years after it was created. Xorus was trying to avoid outright contradicting the [[Miracle (350)]] release storyline where the Broken Lands was treated as Lornon. The idea was to try to tell the story in a form that ''could'' be broadly accurate for both the Shadow World and Elanthian historical continuities. Strictly, only a pure [[ICE age\|I.C.E. Age]] interpretation is right.

			----


	The lecture was worded to be compatible with both the [[Elanthia]] and [[Shadow World]] timelines, even though the justification depends entirely on the obsolete history. The interpretation of [[the Broken Lands]] itself comes from the "Curse of Kabis", which is coincidentally about an imprisoned [[Althedeus]]-like demon of Shadow. The theology of the hooded figures is based on the theocracy of [Eorgina] that was run by [[Kadaena]]'s daughter, the symbolism in the Graveyard, and the archaic lore surrounding "[[Pales\|Void]]" demons, the dark gods, and the [[Iruaric\|Lords of Essaence]].

	The creature lore is based on the bestiaries that were used for the "describe" verb illustrations. The "[[Ki-lin]]" in [[Rolemaster]] is sort of an evil imitation of Western unicorns, whereas their "Ki-rin" use the Chinese conception of Qilin, which correspond to the appearance but not the behavior of our Ki-lin. I would guess the reason for the Ki-lin in the first place was that in eastern mythology, the Qilin would appear with the birth or death of immortal sages, which is perverted in the Broken Lands with [[Uthex]] and the various monks with their warped asceticism.
