What other books, besides Champions of Valor discusses them? I'm looking for novels specifically.

| Yeah I read the Nimbral articles by Ed... great write up imo. Nimbral has already facsinated me... by this is disappointing... I keep reading about the butt kicking the knights gave to some pirates and it made me think there was some more to it :( oh well |

Though, they've received some attention in Ed's "The Realm of Nimbral" series for his Realmslore column at WotC, starting here:- http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/rl/20040811a
One of the few articles over there I hadn't pasted together into a word document - why is it that that website is set-up so counter-productive?! 
Instead of having the "Read more..." text as the bottom as a clickable 'next' link, you have to back-track to the main menu, scroll down, and look for the next in-line to read.
What a pain-in-the-butt. I know its been said many times before (and this isn't on-topic... much), but they really need someone to go through that entire site with organization and stream-lining in mind.
So much EXCELLENT information available there, and yet they bury most of it under an un-intuitive interface.
Anyway, thanks for pointing that series back out to me - I had read it quite awhile ago, and I hadn't realized I never converted it over and saved it in my computer.
You never know when they will decide ALL of that old stuff belongs in the DDi...
Lord knows they need some filler there - it amuses me no end that there is still far more 'freebies' available at WotC then what they expect most people to pay for. |

"These things also I have observed: that knowledge of our world is
to be nurtured like a precious flower, for it is the most precious
thing we have. Wherefore guard the word written and heed
words unwritten and set them down ere they fade . . . Learn
then, well, the arts of reading, writing, and listening true, and they
will lead you to the greatest art of all: understanding."

If you're looking for a compiled copy Markus, let me know. Like most of the WotC stuff, Ed's "Realmslore" column was one of the first lot of articles that I generated a handy .doc for. |

I appreciate that, but I pasted them all into a word doc. yesterday just prior ro posting that - thats why I was annoyed that I had to backtrack SEVEN times to the main article menu, just to view the next in-line.
Very poor set-up... but the articles themselves are excellent (but we already knew that, didn't we?)  |
