[@Lexicon]  Thanks for answering!  There is not much information about the elves in his OOC stuff that I've seen.  They are stigmatized, but what is their culture like?  Also, if I am going to be a trusted underling, I need a solid reason for my char(s) to support Oromis.  Money, idealism, religion...I'm trying to get a feeling for what might influence the current possibilities to want to throw in with him, how they might have met, and so forth.  How about smaller critters, fae and spirits and the less powerful supernatural stuff?  Or are there no magical critters nowadays at all, since there's barely any magic left?  *wiggle*  I can work with that.  How about the stones, can one maybe...I dunno, control spirits or something?  That'd fit most closely with the idea I'm toying with right now.
