Alaundo,
did you Voluntarily forget to insert links in pages titles you quoted above ?
It could be so easier to reach the named parts. 
It's already difficult enough to translate all what is written on the website... You could make me spare so many time ! 
But the Candlekeep website and forum stay my preferred foreighn websites !
Thanks a lot for all that you make us learn about our preferred universe.
Well met
Not at all, my dear Fillow. I purposely don't link to the sections in the site update announcements and prefer instead to allow ye to go to the Home page or News page for the links, thus patching you into the site itself rather than having to revert back to the forum thread for each link. The bold entries above are simply to assist those who wish to skim through quickly for key points. There's method in my madness  |

Yes, there are things holding it up but hopefully soon it will be updated by someone..... As for me updating them, because Alaundo used to turn my HTML files into PDFs, it isn't going to be me that compiles them.
So yes, I guess I just publicly announced that I've stepped down about taking care of the files and there are discussions taking place about who is going to take my place and where my files are being stored from now on.
Also, I want Ed and THO to know that I apologize for just decided to no longer take care of the files but at this time I have other commitments that need to be focused on. I truly do apologize to Ed and THO though. |
For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

Oh, well thank you for all your work keeping track of things for the rest of us, Kuje. |

I'd just like to say thank you for doing this as long as you have. I understand this was a major commitment, and its been very useful to me. I really appreciate the effort that went into keeping this project going. |

Thanks Kaysae and Knight for the comments.
It just was time for me to hand the files over to Alaundo. |

Well, I may as well let all our resident scribes know that I'll be taking on the work of compiling Ed's replies, and coding them for eventual storage here at Candlekeep. I'll be picking up directly where Kuje left off, specifically, after the first week of January '08. I've not settled on a website for storing the compiled [and uncoded] files as of yet. I'm looking into some options for that.
Until then, the compilation of Ed's valuable Realmslore posted here at Candlekeep, will continue. I intend to maintain the same level of quality and professionalism that Kuje has already established. I'm really looking forward to working with both Ed and [very closely] with the Lady Hooded One [ ] in continuing to provide reliable access to one of Candlekeep's most wondrous treasures -- Ed's Realmslore.
And let me just take this opportunity to say... "Thank you Kuje, for a job exceptionally well done!"

I will just chime in with further thanks for all the work you have put into these compilations for the last few years Kuje. These are the greatest source of Realmslore published in years and a constant source of joy and study. |
