Answer 25a
The main "collar bone" region of Suchos is known as Telinar. Telinar is a thick jungle inhabited by a peculiar folk skilled with illusions, learned in the cultivation of yam, and dedicated to the taming of birds. Contact with Telinar is difficult and expensive, but by no means extraordinary: Calledron Mages are able to levitate, and that is far from the only capability accessible to a civilization trading across the polycosm. Some means of flight is required: Telinar lack reliable portal access.
The more intricate portions of the torso are inhabited by a host of small aggressive tribes and bands with access to flight in one form or another.
Question 15b, about the pelvis, remains.
Question 44 [FRG] :
How common are mages in the imperial population?
Question 45 [ALC] :
How could an alchemist get to a location requiring flight?
