That would indeed be a great tragedy. Mmm . . . Erik like tragedy . . .

That it does . . . making it just that much more possible for a writer like me! 
And I do, actually, already have a plan for what goes on in the lives of each of my characters. Subject to change, of course, but a plan nonetheless!

| Well that just my idea but I'm sure you'll pull it off Eric.I just thought Ylder would make a good anti-hero/demon and undead/wizard/acult hunter so to speak. From your other books I'm told you keep it well not so dark, as dim in your stories so I thought my idea would interst you. I have more to the story but I won't ramble. Looking forward to your next book and your other not Realms stuff too. |

And here we are:
http://www.candlekeep.com/library/lore.htm
Down at the bottom of the page, you'll find a writeup of Yldar and Cythara, updated to 1375.
You'll notice Yldar varies quite a bit from how I've described him. This is because, well, this build fits him better and is just, well, all around better. :D

Now if this ain't an easter egg if ever there was one, turely! And in a positive sense that is, of course!
Thanks for sharing this lore with us, Erik!

You guys are very welcome, indeed.
Thanks also to Tom, without whose mechanical wiles this project would not have been possible.

| Great work guys! I especially love all the little tidbits about Graz'zt and the Cult. I'll definitely be looking out for any opportunities to use this material in my campaigns. |

I'm impressed. This is good work. Thanks to Tom and Erik.
Now, what else can we expect from you both?  |

I guess we'll have to see, Lady K! :)
