You forget the Pentish name for the Redlands H'har As Jing. Bound to be a connection in there somewhere.

Can anybody tell me what were the two lands affected by the goddess switch. I do not think that Kralorela is one because the False Dragons ring 'stopped being godlearners'. Alas this leaves me without a land to steal Dendara from (I don't hink she's worshipped in Teshnos either) and I don't know where Ernalda was switched from. Is the switch still in effect?

Veldang are actually Vadeli? Only the Blue ones aka wizards would be. In any case I thought they were all originally Warearan. Note I call myself the Blue Wizard because I didn't know what the Vadeli did to the kids when I thought of the name. I suspect the vadeli actually require one of their own kids for the ritual...
