Killer catch!
2016-07-03 at 22:07 #7402GameGraphixMemberAlso, noticed that you started to use the word “dragged” instead of “drug” in the last chapters …..but we now have both terms in the book – need to decide on one term to use and find and replace the others
2016-11-05 at 04:11 #7414LCSpartan051MemberAlso, why to the Lich’s want to know what an Apostle is? They are trying to re-create the Dark Apostle’s work, so they should know what the title means.

*)The Unlife was using the chaos to maximum effect. Their main army was quickly moving in, building and fortifying siege emplacements. Their advance units were starting to put pressure on the wall defenders. The defenses of the Citadel, always heavily reliant on heavenly resources, were now woefully under powered.L)The big problem was that the local avatars could not easily store great amounts of mana, so they would have to work to carefully time worship services and mana expenditures. They would be on a very tight budget in terms of mana usage. Every drop would count, there would be nothing to spare.
*)The first of the main problems was that the local avatars could not easily store great amounts of mana, so they would have to work to carefully time worship services and mana expenditures. They would be on a very tight budget in terms of mana usage. Every drop would count, there would be nothing to spare. The next problem was that the manual processing and distribution of mana would be fully occupying the avatars. They would be, effectively, incapacitated and thus completely unable to aid in the direct defense of the Citadel.M)I really hope we are going to Nysegard to battle the Storm Lords.

2020-06-02 at 15:24 #7404GameGraphixMemberIMO is should be “dragged” – every time I see “drug” in this context it’s like fingernails on a chalkboard [-o<
2020-06-02 at 15:24 #7406The Author GuyMember[quote=Giwdul;5541]Seems like Talarius would be older than this. Late thirties maybe?[/quote]
I agree, completely, and have felt that way since book 2, however, when I introduced him in book 1, I said he appeared to be in his twenties….
(I was in my twenties at that time and made him my age–as long as I can remember I’ve felt old and used that as my definition of old)
It really screws with the Melissance timeline.
Hmm, but maybe he’s just an actor on the CW or Beverly Hills 90210 and looks 10 years younger than he is.
2020-06-02 at 15:24 #7407The Author GuyMemberChanged the age thing a bit:
The knight without the cloak, the one with the giant sword on his back, took off his helmet to reveal a man who appeared to be about thirty with a broad grin who quickly moved forward to embrace the arch-diocate. [i]How could a man so young be the greatest Knight Rampant in Astlan, such a reputation would take decades?[/i] Teragdor wondered.
“Iskerus! I would never in a million years have expected to find you in Nysegard!” The knight proclaimed.

How is?
So, then the plain that was here, with the army on it, is now located is in the Abyss?” Diocate Aeris asked.
2020-06-02 at 15:24 #7409The Author GuyMemberMassive list, thanks Giwdul!

All dragged.
2020-06-02 at 15:24 #7412IumeMemberplane, not plain unless we’re grassland.

M) is now located is in the Abyss?
*) is now located in the Abyss?In the DoA series ‘plain’ tends to refer to a whole plain of reality not a flat cleared chunk of realestate. Maybe use ‘clearing’ or ‘field’ instead of plain.
