[@Loud Angry Dead]: Greetings, and let me welcome you! Reading the entirety of the Compendium isn't a necessity ('tis more of a world encyclopaedia for you to look up things than mandatory reading material), though if you're just enjoying the content, feel free to read it all. (I know Jack's always impressed by people who go through *all* of it.) I believe Jack also intended to write a newcomers' guide to information you probably would need to know before creating a character... @Jack - Which reminds me - since I've a free day tomorr- er, today, I might actually finally tackle that bizarre login-issue you have. (For me, for any device I have, the sessions are next to immortal. Both the one on my cell and the one on my laptop survived my several weeks of Austria, for instance, and when I came back the ones on my PCs were still there, too...) Until then, you could write out the introduction page (which has been been missing for a while) and if I can't get a working solution for logins today, I'll just run it up myself (as I can do with any other article you might have written up in between)... [quote]Aw, but I tried so hard to ignore the question so not to make it overly obvious... [/quote] Well, to be fair, it was intended as a yes/no question... Thank you for the reply, though; my brain can admittedly be a bit annoying when it doesn't know how things work ... and even more so when it thinks it has figured out how things are, but wants to be certain. (I do wonder whether said ally's dead now, though, or was this prevented; wondered before, too, but didn't want to make everyone else's - at least speaking of those who've been here for a while - quesswork too easy.) And indeed, the Valderoth/sloth bit wasn't specifically a question as much as it was simply an observation and perhaps a generally interesting thing. (Though I admit, I was interested in your thoughts on the matter. A bit of discussion never hurts.) Hmm, might also finally write up the bit about (my) gods I intended, though this'd be after I've handled the Compendium... Right now I may actually sleep, though. [@yoshua171], [@Rhaevnn Xeno] : Does either of you wish to post on Zerul side, or is it Merc's turn again? I asked him over Skype, and he wasn't even certain whose turn is it... Just might be one of those cases where everyone is mildly certain it's someone else's turn.
