The records crab sends Oathar a note saying that the party is on the Frequent Donators List for Blinky 6066. The whole party is on the list. Bah!

Sigh, to make himself feel better, Oathar goes to the Great Library of Nomikos and studies the fall of Zor. There were three main dynasties that ruled Zor, the Lankor, the Xaon, and the Kitaan. The last rulers of Zor. The Kitaan line wanted power and technology as a tool to get it. When they united technology with magic, that was their undoing. Nikor was the penultimate king. Zor fell in 4980 SE. King of Rakhan at the time was Thaddeus II.

That quote: "There was a light like a thousand suns rising suddenly... "

Griffin College was founded in 4800 SW by the refugees from Zor. Oathar will probably investigate that next.

Oathar goes to Griffen College. Oathar gets a book about the founding of the college. It was founded by Zorian refugees to an area just inside of Rakhaan, in what's now known as the ducy of Preven. Oathar reads the later writings of the younger founders. It was meant to be in opposition to the values of Zor, no technology purely for the grasping of power. They were the true heirs to the Griffins. The scouts and hunters who supported the college were named the Griffins. The Griffins reported that it was on Orhan 3 Day 8 4980 SE that the great flash was seen. He also finds out that their hopes had died when Nikor Kitaan (Faithful to the Griffin) was assassinated when he tried to return to the ways of the early kings.

In one of the histories it is note: "And yes, I found out about the secret meeting between the mage and the king. Clearly they were conspiring against the Empire, and there was talk of destruction and fleeing. With luck, someone will kill this mage before he poisons the ear of the king further."
