Thank you! I do think it makes a lot of sense, yes. Can't say too much though - don't want to spoil you. (Oh, and poor Keldorn the microwave knight...) *snicker*you know, we already have at least one person in chapter 2 who turns out to be a brain sucker...the hidden in the jan quest...and it would not surprise me in the mod if laufey has got aerie to be EVIL!!!!
muhahahahahhah!!!
it makes a huge amount of sense, and it would make the mod really fun and exciting and make it stand out...
Edwin Romance is here!

oh btw...did you notice the little custom gif some fan made in the responses in the quiz????
if anyone knows how to upload a gif into a response, please tell me, its a completely priceless gif, i think i change my avatar for a few days so everyone can enjoy it...hhahahhahahhahha....
you completely got me hooked...now the big question is what is the secret of the amulet?? orphedia (?) hinted rather strongly in her edwin and nalia stories that the amulet is spectacularly special, and full of mystical secrets....and of course, it is the most powerful mage item in the game, period...

Welcome! I noticed that smiley, it was very cute. As for the amulet, Ophidia had her solution to that puzzle, which was a great one. My explanation is different, and I'll insert more hints gradually as to what its secret is.thank you so much for my next rini and eddy fix....must have rini and eddy fix...must have cards reshuffled fix...

the god who dwells below, with a thousand young/offspring
is obviously a reference to
yog-shothoth, the black goat of the woods with a thousand young...
the rabbits...the rabbits...
btw...did you get annoyed with hp lovecraft as i did many years ago???i mean his earlier works, "call of cthuhu" and "at the mountains of madness" were good, but tword the end of his career, before he died, he kinda became a walking thesaurus...just pretentious and used a 20 dollar word where a 3 dollar word would have worked better...
i stopped reading him many years ago...but he did introduce me to lord dunsany, who is much much better writer, imho, and i would seriously recommend his "wonder tales" to anyone who is interested in really good fantasy...
sorry...for being off topic...

The Lovecraft references are something that I felt suited Xzar very well. I agree that his books got a bit samey towards the end, yes. I'll have to keep Lord Dunsany in mind!Iheya...am i the only person to notice the howard phillips lovecraft references in xyar's mad babbling???

Coo, you read my Enjoyable Partnership series? I'm flattered! It sounds like you've not read the Attic boards, since the final story, Curse of Apathy, was actually completed a couple of months ago now. I'm currently working on a new story in the series, A Tale of Two Mages.
If you fancy reading something evil, dark and utterly non-Edwin related, you may want to take a look at Corruption of Keldorn, a dialogue sequence I wrote for a slightly unusual romance with keldorn... <_<
Anyway, since you've reminded me, I'll upload the next chapter while I think of it! In it, the two mages have a huge row, and we finally find out exactly what Edwin's amulet does!
There, uploaded it...go and nosey!

Well, I posted the entire Curse of Apathy on the Attic boards ages ago, I'm just really slow at uploading it to the novellas section . Since you asked so nicely, (without death threats, which is quite unusual for the readership I attract) I'll upload part five tonight. It's a seven parter altogether.
The new story in the series is a ten parter, and I'm currently writing part eight out of a possible ten- unless it grows again!

Hehhe, if you don't like paladins, you might like the romance I wrote *veg*. Do you want to see Keldorn broken utterly and twisted to the Dark Side? It can be done...

i mean, cant you just see yourself walking into a used bookstore with a "hello cthulhu" tee shirt???
about half the people will just look at you funny, (they dont read for fun) but the other half will light up and giggle...
and kids will look at you funny, cause they will recognize the hello kitty character, and moms will come up to you and ask "where can i get this t shirt? my daughter has the complete hello kitty wardrobe, but she is missing this one..and this is so cute!!!"
you: begone insipid fleshling!! hello cthulhu can only be worn by superior thayan mages, and ancient gods...i see that you are wearing pink, so are you a god???
hey, if they sell a dagon shirt, you can wear it to fish and chips shops...hahahhahahah....

Chortle. For whatever weird reason I always assosiate Keldorn with Don Ramsfield. Now imagine that kind of romance. Shudder.
Freedom cannot be equated with goodness, virtue, or perfection. Freedom has its own unique self-contained nature; freedom is freedom ? not universal goodness. Any confusion or deliberate equalization of freedom with goodness and excellence is in itself negation of freedom, and acceptance of the path of restraint and enforcement.
