KNOWLEDGE
Arcana or History: Bronze dragons are said to lair in the waters of the Emerald Gulch. Ships often embrace bronze decorations to gain their aid or to at least appease them. (p27)

History or Religion: Exandria has two known moons that orbit the planet. Catha, the larger and closer of the moons, is the herald of night travel and shines a bright white when visible in the sky. Catha is considered to be intrinsically tied to Sehanine, the Moon Weaver, and is regarded by some as a creation of the Moon Weaver to watch over the just and hide those who require obfuscation. Ruidus, the second moon of Exandria, is much smaller and farther away. With a slower rotation around the world and dark red-brown coloring, Ruidus is often difficult to see among the stars of the night sky and nearly impossible to spot during the day. Little is known of Ruidis, though older cultures and texts speak of it as an omen of ill tidings, or even a remnant of a Betrayer God plot left abandoned and unrealized. (p27, EGtW p9)

Nature or Survival: Ghostgrass is a carnivorous variety of sea grass. It is bone-white and restrains and drains the life from those who get too close. (p31)
