If Eltom Was Suppose To Be A Secret....

If Eltom were to be a secret from the Villagers, then why does the Scroll Merchant in Ahmsord (Who is a villager) sell Eltom scrolls???

 

Same way anything is supposed to be a secret from the government. Commonplace citizen isn't going to really give a shit if there are humans in Gavel, especially not when a) they're staying in their own town and not doing anything wrong, and b) the villagers can profit by selling stuff there

 

Thanks, i always thought it was just plot laziness and player convienience. Never thought it would have a reasonable answer

 

Along with that, it's only really the villagers that have a problem with humans in gavel. Have you ever seen a dwarf or dogun that is sad/annoyed to see you?

 

In that case, why is there a part of the quest where you have to lead an average citizen away from the entrance in order that the guards let you in? There's also that Ardulf is convinced he can get rich off of telling the authorities. If he's thought of this, surely someone else has, and to a villager farmer this would be a very attractive prospect.

There's also that is has a giant tower (clearly visable from the well-travelled passage to Molten Heighs) that routinely flies airships (which we know are a Villager creation that only the elite have access to), to and from Thesead, which seems to be the most anti-human town in the province. Surely the Gavel authorities would notice this. "Where did that airship come from?" - "Oh, that big uninhabited load of mountains with the mysterious tower in it. Don't worry, there's no need to investigate"!?

 

Yeah, there seems to be a few plot holes with Eltom. You would think that any numbskull villager would be exploring and they would see the buttons that lead into Eltom, but no, we're supposed to believe that nobody(besides Ardulf ) has ever found the town.

 

Coding issues. They can't make the skin of item iders into anything else.

 

You notice that and not the big ass airship flying above the city visible from Thesead.
