Sagas, Inventory, Clarification

Hi Runecairn community!

I've been wanting to play this game and it looks great, however I've come up against a few questions about conflicting rules. I'll present each question and the reasoning for my confusion. 

Could someone help me answer these three questions?

1. Do sagas take up inventory space? 

Evidence for yes:

- (pg21) - the example character sheet has lightning spear taking up an inventory slot AND a skill/spell slot

- (pg38) - "Runestones and sagas contain a single spell and take up one slot

Evidence for no:

- (pg20) "Sagas don't take up physical slots but instead take up space in Lind's mind as the tales are dense and elaborate"

- (pg38) "Sagas. Not a physical object, but a learned and memorised tale"

2. What is the purpose of the Fatigue boxes on the character sheet, if fatigue is supposed to take up inventory?

3. On the example character sheet, "Shout" is not marked as causing fatigue, but in the rules it says they do. Does shout cause fatigue?

Thanks!

Hello and thanks for the post. Sagas do take up inventory space. Inventory is an abstraction of both the physical equipment and cognitive load you carry. While Sagas don’t take up physical space, they do take up mental space and therefore appear in your inventory.

The fatigue boxes are used to track fatigue separately, for ease of use. In the form fillable PDF, they’re used to automatically track inventory and fatigue.

Shout does cause fatigue; the example character sheet needs to be corrected and will be in a future update.

Hope this helps, thanks for your post.
