 Far from it, Althen Artren...it is indeed a big deal and many apologies. I will get this amended right away... |

Two questions:
1) Isn't that MarkusTay's map of Laerakond that you have attributed as "artist unknown"? It sure looks like his work...
2) Is there a link anywhere on the main page to the updated PDFs of "So Saith Ed"? Because I couldn't find one...
That's all; many thanks to all contributing scribes and to Alaundo for posting the new material! |
Playing in the Realms since the Old Grey Box (1987)... and *still* having fun with material published before 2008, despite the NDA'd lore.
If it's comparable in power with non-magical abilities, it's not magic. |

You'll find the most up-to-date archives here.
I'm presently finishing up my compositions for the 2010 and 2011 "So Saith Ed" archives, which Alaundo will upload to the main-site when I'm done.
It's just taking longer than expected, because I'm perusing other older scrolls [aside from the "Questions for Ed Greenwood" scrolls for both 2010 and 2011] here at Candlekeep for those two year-periods, to find all the posts the Lady Hooded One has made elsewhere. |

Anyone who looks at my contribution should check for
a joke about a librarian, see if you like it. |

Thanks for the link, Sage; I noticed that there were no index files for '08 and '09, and that one of the earlier index files (I think it was '07, but I don't recall now) downloads as Word instead of PDF. I'm not overly concerned about the missing files, because the Search function (if used properly) is faster anyway, but the non-PDF format of the one file caused minor irritation of my brain.
Oh, and a third, related to my second question above:
3) Would it be possible for those titles in Alaundo's OP to be turned into links directly to the specific documents? That would be most excellent... many thanks.
Edit: Oh, and one more thing... a link on CK's main page to a download of a zip archive of all of CK's downloadable scribe lore (excluding the "So Saith Ed" material, because that's much too large), updated quarterly as needed, would be great as well... not to be too demanding or anything...  |

| Thanks Alaundo. The history of Arvyandarr is particulary interesting to me. |
