How would someone who is distinctly anti magic fit into the setting? Would they be feared as some sort of witch or revered in their ability to so bluntly deal with deadly magic? For instance a SR and/or Anti Magic Monk.

What about bards?
I remember when we discussed that IG, that the Northmen society generally not just accepting but respect them, since they admire skalds. I know that they Ruathym society has already adopted a feudal system but the change is relatively recent and they still have tribal elements in their culture.
They would be alright as long as they won't prove themselves too wizard-like with visual effects, evocation etc.?

It's good to have this clarified, in particular the forge and shop items and stuff.

My geography of Ruathym is a bit mixed up: The same ideas also apply to Ostland, don't they?

Yes. If they focus more on the skald-type paradigm, rather than being practitioners of magic. You keep that kind of arcane boogity-boogity to yourself.

These creatures’ spell-like or supernatural abilities, however, may be temporarily nullified by the field.

~Glowing eyes: I'm confused about this, because it can be easy (sort of) for an advanced Shadowdancer to pretend they're a monk, and considering monks hold some semblance of respect.. -Clarification?

Simply for Transparency sake, I assume most forms of shadowdancer abilities would also be vilified and reacted to with nothing but hostility, Especially considering many of them are rather easily misinterpreted and quite a few negative connotations are some of the first thoughts many people have regarding it. Could I get some clarification on the following?

So,

~Summon shadow (Shade): "Conjuration" - Generally hated.
~Shadow Daze: "Enchantment," Also uses ancient Netherese as a verbal component - Generally hated, I assume
~Shadow Jump: Teleportation, especially at night. - Most likely it's generally hated
~Shadow Evade: You're drawing some dark mumbo jumbo around yourself, pretty creepy. - Probably generally hated.
~Glowing eyes: I'm confused about this, because it can be easy (sort of) for an advanced Shadowdancer to pretend they're a monk, and considering monks hold some semblance of respect.. -Clarification?
~General "Other" fluff things Shadowdancers can do: i.e. Shadow tentacles, Anti-light, Shadow coating, etc. - I'm guessing these are also generally despised, especially since they can come across as a sinister form of magic.

I might be a bit biased in my asking, but it's good reference to have none the less!

Curious, how much is known about all the druidic, super-tree juju by the Ostland populace?

Do the people view a difference from say magical created potions, and ones made with alchemy using plants, parts from monsters..ect

Caraigh Ceyren's Mill has a leyline right in the middle of it. How does Caraigh view people portalling into their town? Clearly someone is stepping out of a magical portal. Does this fall under "you better be a northman priest"?

Wiltun's become pretty popular as a new hot spot lately. If you're a magical practitioner (arcane) and you visit there frequently and everybody knows you're totally an epic mage, do they still accept you so long as you don't cast magic there? Or are you instantly kind of frowned upon and people are unfriendly towards you? Like I'm wondering how long a very magically active mage could be buddy-buddy in the demographic over there while everyone knows what he/she's up to back in Cordor.

Kind of included in the above, do people still "talk" about magic? Amia has a lot of PCs that do research, magical focuses, make new spells etc. If they started smalltalking about their new arcane spell, or even spell theory, experiences with magic etc. would they be told to shut it?

I'm new, so right now my feeling of Wiltun's mood is "Oh yeah this magic thing? Everybody still does it on the side we just don't talk about it"

Question: Lets assume that everyone under the sun already expects a PC to be vilified without waving an arm, because of their reputation, but said person doesn't go near establishments and avoids likely interactions with patrols when possible. Is it assumed that this person would have no problem tossing out ninth circle spells, and the only consequences of the action would be from the populace itself if they found out or were alerted otherwise to it, or is there something more at play? It seems like the answer would be that said PC would be frowned upon, and potentially hunted, but there is a possibility they are okay with that.
