I expect you could look this up in a book on the history of technology.

Yeah, come to think of it, there's nothing published (unless in a WF before #6) about the Troll Ruins, Falling Ruins, or Skull Ruins. (Did I miss any ruins?)

I would say no. The Crimson Bat is a minor cult, and minor cults don't get allied spirits. But that's just my humble opinion.

I would again so no, since the _Tales_ version excluded them. I think the 7M's were only included as associates in the Cults of Terror version because they were the only Lunar cult we had at the time.
>Third, about the spell Glowspot. It is 3 point spell, right?
>According to the cult book (The Seven Mothers and Etyries),

Good point.

>c) Glowspot is almost useless, and that's OK, no problem.
I vote for a). Although b) is tempting, the CB does have the rune of Moon. And c) is not acceptable.
