I've recently discovered the Author label below the name of the OP. Really strange, considering how long I've been a member here.
I wonder what other OBVIOUS things I might have missed...

“We must have more than one way of looking at the world . . . That is the weakness of the colleges. Each order only sees through one eye. Through the concept of the world created by the way of their own wind of magic. The Bright Order sees everything as creation and destruction, always in violence. The Amethyst wizards as decay and dissolution. We see it in terms of purity and corruption, everything in those terms. It is how a wizard becomes blind to the reality of the world, for he rejects whatever does not fit into his view of it. I see through the eyes both of a Light wizard and of a man curious about the world. That is how I stave off stagnation.”
—Egrimm van Horstmann, Grand Magister of the Order of Light (Van Horstmann by Ben Counter)

| The Master Of Realmslore, or the Learned Scribe, ectera tags under your name? |
"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."

Master of Realmslore, no.
Learned Scribe? Is there such a thing? Maybe I missed that, too, as I can't remember it at all. |

There was a scroll around here with all of the different titles you earn by posting... |

Yes, I remember that thread. But I didn't particularly remember the Learned Scribe rank.
More: Show profile and Send..a PM icons next to date and time. When I wanted to view a scribe's prof, I clicked on his/her name, and sent a PM from the link there. Unbelievable. |

Mostly by accident. |
