Yeah! And always thought trollish poetry was just grunts... I'd like to pinch this for Notes from Nochet in a future issue of Tales if I may?

It was actually Nick Brooke asking this, not me. I appreciated your effort at the time, but I'm afraid my interest in the ramifications of the Gregging of Sun County ebbed long ago. Call me an ignorant Sun Domer, but I believe what the Light Priests tell me (eg. what's in the book).

Marion only graces us with something every once-in-a-while, but ah! when she does!
>Can a hero truly be a hero if they claim to be one?
The only one that possibly qualifies is Sir Ethilrist (see RQ Companion): he
was aptly described in a Notes From Nochet entry as "a self-made man who
worships his own creator." But, even in the case of Ethilrist, I agree with
Marion when she says:
>Heroes are made so by those they affect, by their deeds, or words, or way

Steve, with the greatest respect (as Sir Humphrey Appleby might say), all I detect at the moment is the usual vigorous intellectual cut-and-thrust that has gone on here for hundreds and hundreds of issues before you recently joined us. While we ain't had one for some time, there is the odd flare up every once in a while, eg. the Blue Vadeli wars. Aye lads, now there was a *serious* punch-up!
Cheers
