Well...NPC elementalists don't really -have- to work, as long as they've got buddies with the right couple of temples.

They have to work at least occasionally, unless there is an elementalist class I don't know about that can summon clothing.   :P

Everybody knows you're -born- with pants, boots, a shirt, a backpack, a torch, and 1000 +/- 200 coins.  Get with the program, sheesh.

To return to the original question...

Slaves. Lots of slaves. Smelly, smelly slaves. With brooms.
That's my theory, anyhow.

You know, I don't really care much how it is moved, there are many ways all within nak abilities, though, I tend to think it would be slaves and a little magick.

What I really wonder is...where exactly does it go?

I mean, Rome had sewers and paris ETC, but, they also had rivers and oceans  for the sewers to dump into.

Allanak does not have this. And half a million people, plus all the animals is going to produce a good 250 tons of waste every single day (Number arrived at by 1 pound of waste per person per day, this is not adding in animals or industry of any sort that would have liquid wastes)

Now, that is a LOT, and I mean a LOT of shit. I mean, bulk wise it would be at least the size of four boxcars...every single day, for the last 1200 years...and on Zalanthas..thats alot of days.

The eventual destination of the sewers has bothered me for a long time.  Bothered me enough that I've made a couple characters with the intent of exploring the sewers.  Unfortunately I am still unenlightened.


If the sewers were really long they could empty south into the sea of silt, or north out the side of the shieldwall.  Or possibly they lead all the way to Tuluk, which is why things are comparitively fertile over there.   :wink:

Since insanely long sewage tunnels are unlikely, they must empty into a large space underground.  A natural system of caverns?  Tapped out portions of the mines?  A huge underground river?  An interdimesional gateway?  

My suspicion is that we can never know, can't even find out IC, because it doesn't actually lead anywhere.  The imms may not have thought it important enough to decide when they were designing the game.  Curses!

Eating poop doesn't get rid of it, because it after digestion it becomes poop again.  It may be slightly reduced and have the texture and density changed by the digestion process, but it still exists.

Unless I'm wrong about what I saw, this does have a simple IC answer.
But I'm not going to tell you what it is.  Nyah-nyah.
