Talk:Moonstones

Blackrock Moonstones ?
I was reading an interview with Richard Garriott in the U9 hintbook, and there it goes - he mentions that Moonstones and the Orb of the Moon are made of blackrock. Which kind of make sense I guess. I wonder should this be mentionned here? I'm not too sure about having thing from developers used about factual canon (this should be kept for ingame stuff), but perhaps it might be worth a mention in a trivia bit. What do you think ? --Sergorn 00:08, September 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree with you. Useful as trivia information, but not really canon. 00:50, September 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah yes, I meant to add that info at one point but forgot about it. I agree it's probably more appropriate to put it in Trivia, since it's never explicitly mentioned in-game. --Terilem 04:35, September 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, I added the trivia to this article and to Orb of the Moons. From the tone of the conversation, it looks like this part of the interview originally came from Ultima: The Avatar Adventures. It would be excellent if someone could confirm this, however. --Terilem 06:47, September 16, 2010 (UTC)

As per the above discussion, it was previously decided that the piece of trivia regarding the moonstones and Orbs of the Moons being made of blackrock should not be integrated as canon into the main body of these articles, as the only source is an interview and nothing in-game. I still stand by this position.

Furthermore, is there anything in Savage Empire confirming that the giant moonstone is actually made of blackrock, as claimed in the article? It's a tempting connection to make, but I haven't been able to find any concrete evidence in the transcript. --Terilem (talk) 22:50, 4 April 2013 (PDT)
