So did I but what a beautiful item when it's bound !
Excuse-me if it's not the good word (bound !). I wanted to say "when it looks like a real book", with all pages together !
Bound is the correct word, in the correct tense.  |

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

First one to post n this?!?! AH, anyway...
Great works all of them - once again. I especially like the articles on Stumphill and on the Redeemers of Dawn. Moreover I am amazed of the great cartogrphy art that is included. To my personal taste I find the computer arts not to fit in the overall lay-out of the Candlekeep Compendium but that just might be me and it is a thing I can easily overlook. Therefore, my high praises to all of those that where involved in creating this magnificant tome of lore. Great work, folks.

| Horray, a shout out for Stumphill. Thanks Ergdusch. I honestly think (even though I'm biased) that this is some of our best work yet. Everyone did an amazing job on this release. |

| I'm glad someone enjoyed Charles's article. Him and I, on and off, for, what was it Charles? a year or so now?, have tossed ideas back and forth when he was stuck on fleshing it out. |
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

I cried for the little buggers. had no idea you intended to wipe-out the first settlement. 
Also - my apologies. Not having actually read the article when making the map, I thought the 'tower' of Stumphill was an actual tower.
I would have put a 'tree' icon there instead. 
I'd just like to point out that the Mistledale map also works for Jared's earlier article on the Dwarves of Glen in CKC #8.
I'm still so incredibly jealous of Brian's 'world map' it is so much more fitting for the compendium then mine.
Beautiful work, once again, all around. |

I haven't had a close look yet, so I'll settle for: "The Wakaloni Isles"... |
There is a rumour going around that I have found god. I think is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.

At the very least yes. The idea it self has been here for almost three years but been at least a year and half of off and on work! |

I saw that in the artwork, but I wanted it designated one way or the other, and there is a sort of "fortified treehouse" in the tree, and it is a big tree, so I think it still works.
I'm glad Stumphill's story was moving. When I read that Paul had made Jak Fleet from Mistledale, I was thrilled, and once other events occured, I filled in a lot of details for my own campaign. You should see how the PCs in my campaign reacted when they arrived in the friendly halfling village that they used to rest in, with Matron Fleet cooking for them and such.
One of several times that the players took one to the gut in the campaign (as I'm sure Darkmeer can attest to). Emotional damage takes longer to heal . . .  |

I've seen your posts gathering information and hinting at this for a while now, so it was really nice to see it all put together. |

| Sorry I missed submitting this issue. Everyone else's work is outstanding, as usual. Now, to check in and see if I'm still a card carrying member after my absence. |

It's in Limbo, while we wait for WotC to finally release a fan site policy. |

And I'm doing my part by 'bumping" the fansite policy thread on the WotC boards every Monday.  |
I actually DO know everything. I just have a very poor index of my knowledge.
