That or a) is the easy option, yes, though I'd be interested to hear from any of the authors.

Yes, I know, that's what I said.

But as I say, we *keep* hearing about Kallyr's massive Storm powers. I don't have OiD in work with me to check, but I seem to remember it has her flying at Boldhome, and something about how she once dealt with a hurricane that was destroying her home. And her stats don't even give her a slight breeze. Some of her Vingan followers have more Storm powers than she does, if they've picked the right sub-cult.

If we're using the Hurricane idea to do the BatBlat, then we need to know about this. And then we need to make sure that whatever really happens, Broyan gets the credit. (Hmm. Kallyr does something, and someone else gets the documented credit. Where have I heard that before?) Or, of course, one of Kallyr's un-named followers, the one who *really* has those Storm powers, does the job.

If at all possible, yes. I've added the Crimson Griffin to Wiki (Andr� gave me the text), and would like to get dates of her movements in as well. I dont think many of the Orlanthi or Humakti will be relevant to Whitewall directly, but the Lunars may well be.

You think we care?

Ta. And seasons, weeks and so on are made very clear in it. So *someone* just needs to go through doing a timeline of those bits relevant to Whitewall.
