Here's an interesting question:

In the various and sundry Birthright books and adventures, there
have been refrences made the The Lost, the first humans that Azrai taught
the secrets of true magic to. If I remember, these refrences were in The
Cities of the Sun, The Abominations of Cerilia, and possibly the Book of
Magecraft. Now, here's where it gets fun:

1) Did humans not know about wizardly power before Azrai?

2) What could the nature of the "True MAgic" be, both imaginative
and in game stats?

3) What (if any) connections lies between the Cold Rider, the Lost,
and the possibility of Azrai's return?

I have a few ideas on the subject, but they dwell primarially on the
nature of the lost and who they were, and which ones survived.

It should be very interesting to get opinions on this.
