]There is, so far, one definite continuity, that being the reference to
]oricalcum, the magical alloy.
^^^^^^^^^

We (our group) hashed this out a long time ago. Seems FASA had a misprint
once, said "oricalum" instead of "orichalcum" and one of the players
decided
that was going to be the right answer, ignoring all logic.

So. . . we looked this one up in our handy-dandy Latin-English dictionary,
where, much to our surprise (not) we found this:

orichalcum (or-ih-cal-coom) n. Bright, shiny, gold-colored metal.
