## Trivia

* *Vitam et Mortem is Latin for "Life and Death", symbolizing the balance between the Light and the Darkness in the campaign.*
* *Originally, Vitam et Mortem was going to be about a crusade, where a corrupt holy kingdom was invading the Freldan Isles.*
* *During Vitam et Mortem's run, the Cult of the Exiled was called the Banished, however this was changed because the Dungeon Master wanted a more original name not stolen from the Halo series.*
* *Vitam et Mortem was originally going to end at the end of the War's Cilmax Arc, however, it was extended since the members of the Campaign didn't want it to end.*
* *Valindra Ortellia's name was "borrowed" from the online Dungeons & Dragons game: Neverwinter.*
* *The original name of the Alren was the Xulkeir, however, since Lubo's birthname was Xolkeir it was changed to Alren.*
* *Aliya Francis was originally planned to be the descendant of King Arthur, but since the Players connected more to Travis Fòlais he became the descendant.*
