<strong>1:</strong>At present Nathan doesn't have any knowledge of the others, though I'm always up for building connections.  Given as he's from Matton, which is Skirith domain, he's mostly moving around there - usually situated in Matton, but occasionally travelling to other settlements - so it may be possible to have met any of the others if they've visited/lived in those lands.<br/><br/><strong>2:</strong>I figure the Skirith lands would be good (given as Zaer seems inclined to base Claudia there as does Snake).<br/><br/>As for superstitions, how about:<br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Never let a candle burn for more than an hour at a time.</li><li>Always throw coin into a fountain; gold for fortune, silver for good luck, and copper to bad luck at bay!</li><li>Always have some soil from your home town on you, so that you'll always return to it no matter what.</li></ul>
