A few items:

  1. I just got and am reading Stragers in Prax...seems great so far. I particularly enjoy the Lunar Coders, as it is nice to see Lunars who are adversaries still portrayed as possessing some of the best qualities of the Lunar Empire and its dogma. Of particular note is Nose-Ring, who I think makes for an extremely interesting, sympathetic, and complex character.
  2. TOTRM 11 is also quite good. I hope that Pamaltela Pack comes out soon.
  3. I am starting to reread Genertela-Crucible of the Hero Wars region by region, and questions are popping up, which I will be posting here for elucidation from you learned people.

FRONELAN QUESTIONS:

  1. On page 12 of Genertela, under Prophecies of the Hero Wars, it reades "...Arinsor was a chaos wizard of Gbaji the Deceiver's Empire..."

Arinsor is also the name of the first count of Sun Dome County in Prax.

Is there some mystical connection or just an example of two people sharing the same name?

B) I am having a problem with the timing of the Syndics Ban. On page 14 of Genertela, it says "...Snodal is best know because he organized the conspiracy which killed the God of the Silver Feet late in 1499 and instituted the Syndics Ban in Fronela."

On page 15 it says "In 1582 Dormal the Sailor landed, marking the end of both the Closing and Syndics Ban for Loskalm."

But then, right after, it says "This visit, announces by the Sog City priesthood beforehand, was the first outside communication to reach Loskalm in 111 years."

Huh?!? Let's see, subtract 111 years from 1582 and you get 1471, which means that for 28 years before the Syndics Ban Loskalm had no contact with the outside world? Obviously, the dates given are wrong, but which date? The 1499, the 1582, or the 111 years?

Do I get a no-prize?
