| I just wanted to thank everyone involved with the second compendium. I have only had a chance to glance over it, but it looked great. |

While dwarven lore is lacking, it also allows me to be creative. And I still don't know where the idea for honey came from. Thanks, Chosen. |

Wherever it came from, it was an interesting idea.

Well met
Thank ye for the review, Chosen of Moradin. We're glad ye liked this volume of the Compendium and hope it brings great interest to many fans of the Realms. As I mentioned previously, all feedback is greatly appreciated as it helps us steer the publication in the right direction.

Aye, sadly, Erica will not be penning further installments to this series and I echo the Sage's words that she will be missed very much here at Candlekeep. |

Well met, Master of the Keep!
Oh, donīt mention it! Iīm here to expand my Realmish knowledge, and you and the scribes of the Compendium are making a memorable thing with your awesome work. I discover the trail to Candlekeep four months ago, and in this short period, my level of understanding of the Realms go to marvelous new levels, and it happens because of the good will of Alaundo and the scribes of the Keep (and, of course, the good will of Ed and the others authors and designers that, daily, spare a few moments to give to all of us and truly incredible input of lore). And Iīm serious. The words donīt are suficient to explain the gratitude and the pride of that old dwarf here, to have search that incredible jewel that is Candlekeep.
But letīs go to the questions (before someone perceive my tears here... ):
The Hammerīs Stroke will be a fixed column? And what you think about give us a little more insight in gnomish lore? I have some more questions, but I will made them tomorrow.
See ya, boys! |
Dwarf, DM, husband, and proud of this! :P

I don't know about the gnomish lore, but the Hammer's Stroke will be a fixed column as long as I keep pushing out the words, and Alaundo keeps accepting them. |

Good news, northen cousin!
I will stay waiting for the third Volume, to see what more of dwarven lore you will be show for us...
And, talking about it, you have some idea for when the 3rd Volume will be released?

I suppose Alaundo could provide some "teasers" about some of the articles in each new upcoming issue of the Compendium, perhaps a fortnight before its projected release on the mainsite.

Glad you liked it he who I do not know. |

Well, Wolly, I'm glad you were "laying" her in bed. Softer, less grass stains or pebble bruises . . . or did you mean "lying"?
Just kidding.
To all who worked on this tome, I bring these words of Ed:
Superb work, great additions to Realmslore, and I hope soon to be a part of it. Thanks!
So saith Ed, and I echo him.
love to all,

Big Al, you'll have to find some place to post this. What better way is there of promoting the Compendium than by using Ed's own words of praise!

I always get that one wrong... The people who make up the rules about the English language (how do you get that job, anyway?) should make that one easier on everyone.

That would be great. I think the guys working on the compendium have done an amazing job and it's THE best fan-created publication i've ever seen on the web. Having something from Ed in there as well will put the sweet yummy icing on a beautiful and delicious cake
I assume time and NDA's prevent Ed from contributing to this, but could we perhaps see something in there from yourself, Hooded One? |

| Wow, Al. Ed of the Greenwood, contributing lore to our small press. Impressive. Now, tell us, what bit of information are you using to possibly entice Ed to doing this? |

Oh I couldn't possibly reveal that herein, my dear hammer of Moradin
Although I do recall something about wanting to meet a little bearded fella who has a love for penning dwarven lore. Of course, I haven't seen him around recently  Now where did I put that whip? Ah yes.... ahem, er Lady Hooded... |

Now, with Ed possibly stopping by, I have to step it up. No slacking around here! |

| A wonderfully written work, I must admit, *double Thumbs Up to the authors and designers of the latest Compendium* A must download compendium, I say. |
We have fostered trust, recruited loyalty, and gathered the faithful. We have trained thousands. Our legions can cover the land, fill the sky and travel through the darkness. We can hunt any and all that would deny our heritage. Now is our time, now is the time of the Dark Reign(Rain) of the Empire of Shadows.

Well met
Indeed, such feedback is very helpful to us. Not only does it give us an idea if we're doing the right thing, but it also inspires the scribes to continue with their projects when they hear that people are enjoying reading the material. Much like FR authors, I suppose.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated
..and once ye have all read this volume, keep an eye out for Volume V, coming around the festive season |
