| Interestingly, Illwinter tells a story of sorts with the differing values of the Fear. The Nephilim have **10 points** of it, since they are the direct products of sinful angels, and since their sinful proclivities are the strongest. The first Rephaim, direct descendants of them, were either taught the Fear or taught //not// to have the Fear, and thus have **5 points**. The Rephaim of Ashdod view their decline as punishment enough and do not have the Fear, but the Anakim still have some unholy strength and are thus stricken with **4 points**; meanwhile, Ind's Giants were directly punished and kept their strength, so they have the same level. In the Late Ages, Gath's Anakites return to their ancestors' Sin and the Fear grows to **5 points** within them, but Ind's Giants remain [[Blood|Bloodless]] and are only **3 points** Fear-full when Feminie releases them. | Interestingly, Illwinter tells a story of sorts with the differing values of the Fear.

| As a sidenote, coastal provinces can be flooded so badly that they sink beneath the waves; either as a freak accident with {{scales>T1}} and {{:misc:scales:misfortune.png?15&nolink}}4 (or worse) on the [[Scales]], or as an //incredibly// spiteful move from a {{path>E6W5}} mage with {{gems>100E}}. This doesn't destroy the fort, but it //does// destroy the lab, and around half of the population.
