Q. What is a hydronomese?
A. Thanks for the question Raylen. Hydronomese is one of three known druids roaming the land (Terranese and Astronomese being the other two). Druids are an ancient and mysterious group. Not much is known about them, their allegiances or homeland. One thing that is known about Hydronomese is that he is some how connected with water and he is compelled to protect it. He is also able to control water and use it as he wishes.

Q. Why do you spell magic with a k (magik)?
A. Thanks for the question Jon. The characters from TokenZ live in a different world in a different time, so there are some differences in their language. Using a "k" where we would use a "c" is one of the differences.
-

Q. How often do you recommend someone practice?
A. If you played just a few minutes a day, that would help a lot. The more you play the better you get. Also, the more you play the more familiar you get with the characters and when to use them and who to use them against.

Q. Is it true that you use "K" instead of "C" because you think "K" is a more powerful letter?
A. Good question. It's not that I think it's more powerful, I use a "K" instead of a "C" because it gives the game and the characters a unique feel. If you notice, I like to use "K"s and "Y"s when I can.
