Stuff I Learned

 * Shadow magic of the variety that Sliske uses can rip open tears into the shadow realm. Such portals are described by witnesses as consuming all the light in the area, as if the sun had been shut off. However, to create such a rift, one would need devastating magical power such that rare few masters have ever achieved.
 * Creating a rift into the shadow realm not like magical teleportation, which always emits light.
 * Crystal magic is canon and Wizard Valina of the Wizards' Tower specializes in it.
 * When people die, their souls remain tethered to their immobile corpses. They remain trapped there until something cuts them free (i.e, death).
 * The underworld is frought with beasts that would devour souls. Without something to shepherd them across (i.e, Icthlarin) they become lost or destroyed before the can reach the afterlife.
 * Standard wizard robes, and likely almost all varieties of magical garments, are protective because they are imbued with defensive enchantments. Such garments have a distinctive, visible shine.
 * Crystal arrows, like elven crystal bows, are made completely with crystal. That is as opposed to a crystal head attached to a flighted wooden arrow shaft.
 * Aviansie voices are ADORABLE. However, there are some aviantese who are tentative about Armadyl's return, wary because he already abandoned them once.
 * Kethsi is not far from the aviansie homeworld.
