Yes, I'm blowing the dust off my keyboards and hoping to get some new stuff out into the world whether for free on my website or for sale via DM Guild.... More soon, gentles and less-than-so's...

It wasn't the best name you've come up with  but Ed let us know in his Herald novel that "the Prefects" was an archaic name for the Keeper of Tomes and Great Readers of Candlekeep. So your "Dark Prefects" smack of an individual there who went rogue and set up his own group. So Steven, when was Palron Kaeth at Candlekeep?

Gee, George, Palron Kaeth may never have been at Candlekeep...but at least some of those with whom he associated were there or touched the minds and souls of those who had..... :D

PS: To George and others
When I named them Prefects, I'd not been that familiar with the term's use within private schools, but in the more broad sense as a leader: "a chief officer, magistrate, or regional governor in certain countries."
Chapter 18 of BLACKSTAFF has the best and most coherent look at the Prefects of the Three In Darkness.
Are there hints of more to come? Sure, but even George doesn't know everything I'm planning with them, and Palron Kaeth in particular.
Can't recall--have I ever let slip exactly (or even hinted) at who the Three in Darkness are that they serve? Might be Leira and two other Powers...or it could be something else entirely that just falls in step with Leira's faith to draw in Luuthis Fharren, the so-called Lord High Obfuscator.
There. That enough hints and mysteries for a week of misdirection before our Friday conclave on magical items?

Mr. Schend,
I am sort of curious if answering the question of Senior Scribe Knight of the Gate from 2009 is still on the plate, assuming it hadn't been, as a follow-up to the Sage's response: quote:
17 Oct 2009 : 10:32:47 Of course. You can post the question now, if you wish. I'm sure Steven will address it upon his return.
? lol
I had to ask in light of the age of the scroll. ;)
Best regards,

I've reread the thread/topic and I'm having trouble sussing out the actual question that Knight asked, honestly. Could be painkillers fogging my brain or I'm just tired. Suffice it to say I'll reveal what I can when I can...

who knows NDAs last as long as lawyers breathe...and notice things....so best to assume they're still in force until noted clearly otherwise.... |

Fair enough. I only meant that as a little good fun there. It had just been quite some time, haha.

I just love Synchronicities... |
"These things also I have observed: that knowledge of our world is
to be nurtured like a precious flower, for it is the most precious
thing we have. Wherefore guard the word written and heed
words unwritten and set them down ere they fade . . . Learn
then, well, the arts of reading, writing, and listening true, and they
will lead you to the greatest art of all: understanding."

Great Reader Brimstone,
Agreed! Especially when you get someone like Mr. Schend working on something as cool as that. :)
