Dunno what, if anything, will be done with Nysaloran Illumination. ILH2 is appropriate and canonical for *Lunar* illumination.

Lunar Illuminations is not Nysaloran Illumination (even though they both use the "I" word). As stated in ILH2 (Nysalor writeup, page 84) , Nysaloran Illumination is (according to the Lunars) like modern "Neo-paganism": made up from bits and pieces of scraps of half-remembered myths. When Greg and I were working on Lunar illumination we agreed that Nysaloran Illumination was Occluded (according to the ILH2 definition).

The Lunar Illumination as described in ILH2 is *not* intended to be a representation of Nysaloran Illumination as presented in earlier RQ books (CoT and Dorastor, iirc).
