Unresolved Questions

Units, possible types, Stats, Upkeep ...
Value of money, city-production, cost of founding/upgrading a city
How big is Erf, number of kingdoms, worldmap ...
List of spells, cost of scrolls
What is The Fourth Arkentool ? How many more are there ?
Do the names of cities influence their nature? Would Faq have become a very different place if Jillian really had changed its name to Ansom?
- Both Faq and Gobwin Knob have had significantly different structure/appeanace - one under two leaders, one under the same leader but with 2 casters making decisions - and under the same names

Why did the Titans create Erfworld?
What is the purpose of Erfworld's endless War?
Do the Titans directly intervene in the development of Erfworld?
If Parson's activities interfere with their plans, will they intervene to stop Parson?

When casters are rare, how did the tiny kingdom Faq get its casters fast enough to protect itself from being discovered?
- One would imagine they probably had Jack first, and used scouts to identify incoming threats before they had a Predictamancer. Plus the natural location would probably make visitors rare, at least at first. Also, since Banhammer really didn't want any warlords, he probably popped casters more frequently/faster than normal. If the Titans read his heart and fate.
  - Or, the Predictamancer was the first caster popped, and than she predicted when Banhammer should pop Warlords so that they would be casters rather than as just warlords.
What was Wanda's job in Faq? Was she Faq's Predictamncer?
- No, quite clearly there was a Predictamancer who talked to her at one point. As a Croakamancer, Banhammer probably had little use for her; maybe this is why she began to learn other magics.
Jillian tells Ansom, "My father liked his rules. Picture your man Webinar as a King. But obsessed with philosophy, not battle."

What did King Banhammer and other Faqian philosophers believe?

- Why do we think they have philosophers?
Does Wanda believe in Faqian philosophy? If she does, how do her beliefs influence her actions?
- What is Faqian philosophy? I mean, other than what someone made up based on the city names Faq, Otoh, and Kibo?

Where do all the portals lead to / does every capital have a portal ?
- Yes, every capital has a portal to the Magic Kingdom. Are there other kinds of portals?
If casters in the MK earn their upkeep by making scrolls, how do casters of less popular types survive?
- By selling more expensive scrolls, perhaps? Supply and demand would play a huge part here.
- Charity/Communism/Hippiemancers
  - Not just scrolls: Dollamancers can get by by making and selling clothes at least; sides could pay Dirtamancers to come to their cities and give them the discount on leveling up. I would imagine most types of casters have marketable skills like that.

Do Units have an upper limit on their lifespan?
Have older appearing units aged or were they popped bald/balding or grey?
Stanley uses the word "kid" as a diminutive. We know he can't mean child, and probably does not mean goat. Does he mean a younger person? a less experienced person? a less important person?
- Units do have a concept of paternity from their Royalty (Royal Heirs are the only units with a true "father" or "mother").
