For Four-Arts, if Solomon is the Greatest Conjurer of History, does conjury have any other notable historical/present practitioners? Do aetheromancy, geomancy, or alchemy? What are the bases for these names, considering, for example, that aetheromancy and geomancy do appear to be focused on divination? Are their traditions descended from historical people who believed them to be divinatory? Just a shorthand? Something else? What sorts of alterations/influences can aetheromancers, geomancers, and alchemists effect with their art? How do arts mix, if at all?
For Rune-Carved, how did the races you describe arrive at these interpretations of the system? What is the process of rune-discovery like (both for formal and irregular systems, if there are any similarities)? Besides Collectors collecting runes which they can't (or at least have difficulty) replicate, is there any trade in runes between races? Additionally with respect to Collectors, its not a question per se, but I think it bears mentioning that, even if their eyes are unsuited for geometry, sight is not the only sense that creatures possess, and most animals as far as I'm aware do building at least basic geometric models of their environment.
For Elf-Fall, what are the elves like? Are they humanoid, or more alien? Whats their relation to humanity? What's the rough future-history of the setting? What are notable technology-bases that have been developed since the RL-present? What are the economies of the various places in the solar system like? What is trade between them like? What kind of communication occurs, considering the sheer distances involved?
