Hmm.  Why can't that be hoisted to a top-level, everyone group?  That would be the smallest of architectural change?

Of course allowing a 'soft link' or 'appearance' of such a thread in other groups would support people who ... nuts, I want to sit down over an Entity-Relationship diagram.

Meanwhile, I'll have a look.  Thanks, Norm-D!

Commonwealth English isn't so uniform, either.  If you're going to compare the speech of rural Georgia with, say, Brooklyn or the old Bowery, you might as well compare the speech of York with that of Cornwall.

Spellcheckers ought to have  Commonwealth flag.

So Anver is something like a Founder, but he still has the use of his staff and does not need to learn how to tap the Nexus?  That might be an advantage if an adversary can impair, poison, booby-trap, or otherwise sabatoge the local nexus.

This doesn't have anything to do with that schoolyard legend, Benjamin Dover, does it?

With B5, that possibility doesn't occur until it becomes a necessity, somewhere between seasons three and four.

What we have here are stories that are woven together, with overtones of dark magic and supernatural involvement.  They come to a common climax, via multiple streams of rising action.

The need to break =Acts= into two books will leave the storylines a little out of balance unless all three storylines join in it.  In which case, it might make sense in the final version to open the =Mantle= with the less dominant storylines (ie, not Anvers) and then tie them together quickly.

Y'know, when you finish with this, I'm gonna lose my best reviewer

And presumably we'll learn why Kha gripped the Black Staff.  Does he even know what happened?  Or did he lose that memory in the Earthwound?  Interesting that it hasn't been discussed; one might almost wonder if it's under the Veil.

To whom did it belong, anyway?  Faulter?

Could the same lash-up that Anver used to clear Kha be used to overwhelm even a mage like Faulter?

And the route to this lies throgh the catacombs?  That suggests that there's more down there than the destruction of a Horror.

Shoot, durn thing threw away my reply.  WiFi problem.

Continuity is my friend.  I depend upon it, establishing the (AND NOW IT SUBMITTED BEFORE I FINISHED, -not- A WiFi PROBLEM) distinctions early and holding to them.  I use the opening training session, and the extended training llater, in Book 1, to drive the distinctions home.

I need to do the same near the start of each Book.  The chapters in question are not the start of the book.

This is why I started capitalizing the Elemental uses versus the tangible.  I should look for more ways of reminding the reader.

Okay, I had six hours to work on the chapter(s) bouncing around in my head and spent eleven of them, but Book 2 Chapter (provisional) 27 is up, right before (provisional) 28.

It's about Melayne.  If you don't like her, you probably won't like the chapter.

If you're hoping for a review from me, hold on.  I've just done one for CJ-D and I'll be doing more in the days coming.  But not all at once.

True.  She avoids the others.  Pengrit she can't avoid.

In this universe, I don't think 'sex slave' would occur to Melayne.  Maybe it should, maybe not.  (Depends on the World.  Not an issue in, say, Klonziea.)  But 'drudge' isn't so bad, especially compared to  being a felon######rogue sorcerer.

Melayne's a hero, not a palladin sans puer sans reproach.  (Sorry for the spelling.)  She's got to grow into the role, same as her daughter.  They all make mistakes.
