Usually I don't pay much attention to stuff, but I just tried to RP a truely newb char not having a clue about the world and this prompted the post. You take things for granted usually, like your just-in-Thera char knows where all cabals are, what the nicknames are, what they stand for and so forth. So, that makes life easier. You might even get some spoils that way. But please try to roll a true newbie next time, you'll be surprised how ingrown the culture is. Again, what is an abstract "hut"?
