Harci/harki 02/04/2007 09:16 PM CST
This is a question primarily for Bartlebee:

I've seen alternate spelling of "harci/harki" knives in game. Assuming this was intentional and not a QA miss, can you explain the difference? I am assuming it's dialectical, but is it geographical or is it a clan-based difference? Is it pronounced differently?

Thanks in advance!

A protagonist must have an antagonist. Otherwise he's just a guy playing with himself.

Good questions. Can you tell me where the harci or harki knives are obtained?

Thanks,
Bartlebee

I believe the ones with the 'K' are from Illaya Taipa, the ones with the 'C' were from the Elven tent at the second to last Theren Fest.

There's also a jiranoci from the same Elf tent (Elven Accoutrements) and a jiranoki sold at the same merchant in Ilaya Taipa:

>A blue-stringed oak jranoki painted with graduated rows of lacquer seashells
>The bow is unusually wide along the grip, narrowing as it sweeps up to the risers. Lifelike rows of painted shells follow the curve of the wood: fat scallop shells, curling snails and spiraling cowries, to name just a few. The traditional blue gut string represents the heart of the ocean. While the length of the bow makes it impractical aboard a ship, the symbolism allows a River Elf to carry with him the memory of the sea wherever he may roam.

>an oak jiranoci gracefully inlaid with multi-hued shells
>Inlaid into the oak of the bow is a graceful pattern, like the waters of a river swirling around an eddy. The shells, of various shades and colors, flow together from the darker hues to the lighter shades and are lacquered to make them shine like a rainbow. Inscribed along the arm, near the grip, are the words "Sangut Assegis."

>A steel-bladed harki knife with a curved bone hilt

>a harci knife
>The harci knife is long and slightly curved. The blade is thin and appears to be too fragile to be of much use in any activity other than skinning.

Heh, I have both them bows, just wished they performed better in elven hands than they do. They are for style for me, but if i want to hunt somethin evil I'll still be using a capped mistwood. Any chance we could have bows that have a racial bonus similar to a dwarven tunneler's axe?
just curious

Any word on this?

C in Ilithic is pronounced hard, like a K. The letter K itself does not occur naturally in Ilithic.

I'm going to venture a guess and say harci is correct and harki just...isn't. Though phonetically, there would be no difference between the two.
