I've written a small article on the Greater Mummy for the encyclopedia site and I thought I'd let you know and I'd like to see your opinions on it, bear in mind that this is the first piece of real writing that I've done in ages so it may not be like reading Shakespeare  .

| A nice first effort. |
"Small beings can have small wisdom," the dragon said. "And small wise beings are better than small fools. Listen: Wisdom is caring for afterwards."
"Caring for afterwards ...? Ker repeated this without understanding.
"After action, afterwards," the dragon said. "Choose the afterwards first, then the action. Fools choose action first."

Indeed. I often add to the many of the PS and DL articles on Wikipedia, as well as some of real-life mythology entries -- mostly relating to Egyptian, Babylonian, and Chinese beliefs.
Do you plan to cover any other 'undead' aspects?

| Yes I may cover other D&D undead not featured as yet, I'll wait and see on that. Thanks to any of you who praise that piece, and if you think it could have been better or have any other opinion feel free to air it. |

It's great! I knew about Wikipedia, but I didn't know that anybody could write an article for it! But your entry is really nice. I don't play 3.5E, I play 3E, and I though that the Mummy Lord was just an advanced mummy with a template added to it. I didn't realize that it had a whole background!  It's great that you could fill us 3E players in on stuff like that. |

| Indeed it is an impressive article. |
We have fostered trust, recruited loyalty, and gathered the faithful. We have trained thousands. Our legions can cover the land, fill the sky and travel through the darkness. We can hunt any and all that would deny our heritage. Now is our time, now is the time of the Dark Reign(Rain) of the Empire of Shadows.
