Nasty twitch you've got there. Here, have a Fisherman's Friend Gloranthan Shaped Lozenge.

I wasn't sure if I was supposed to forget about what you were up to...  

Blame the lack of a God with Silver Feet.

Pictures are very expensive... Ask any artist. And there was not, I understand, time for fleshing out. And as any layout person will tell you, pictures also increase the difficulty of layout by more than a little.

Yeah. Its about 2 pages over a 256 page book. Seems to be used to make sections match a full page. Mmmm. That's about... 1% of the book.

I'm surprised that Mikko hasn't figured out what the runes are yet.

I think we want to satisfy our curiousity about the heartland of Glorantha. I know I intend to do something with the Eastern Isles when I'm feeling more adventurous.

I wonder why you'd think that? =)
