I don't think George is entirely to thank/blame for 4E! Congrats on the new addition though!
Nah, Mark was thinking of the baby as George 2.0.

Could the ship manned by skeletons mentioned in the Borem entry be the Necreme? Also, congrats George. The babby is almost 14 months now, huh? How's that working out for you?
Sorry to use thread necromancy, but this one was really interesting and kinda got derailed after Mr. Krashos added that little nugget. |

Andrew is doing just fine - starting to become a regular little person, bothers his big brother incessantly and never came across anything in his short life that he couldn't at least try and fit into his mouth.
But I might be derailing the thread again so on with the lore.

Congratulations and best wishes for your family Mr. Krashos :)
Returning to the GHotR, I was intrigued by the artifact the Golden Lamp of Samesaj on page 154. It seems pretty powerful to restore what the Sojourner stole away for his own use. Is there any more info on it?
Also, I had a question about the erroneous art on pgs. 49 and 52. Is there anywhere we can see the correct labels, or if the captioning is correct, the correct art? I would love to see the dramatic scenes of Jhaamdath's fall or Kisonraathiisar's demise. Finally, is that really the Theurgist Thayd on page 38, or an orcish shaman from the Orcgate? It looks too bestial to be human, unless Thayd had undegone a demonic change.

| The art of page 52 is correct, however the caption should read "Udoclian, University of the Invisible Art in Naarkolyth" |

Thank you. As someone who is about to go on a long haul flight with two children under 5, I'll take all the best wishes I can get.

Nope. I made it up to explain away the fact that Paul Kemp destroyed one of the Twin Towers and Iryklathagra took out the other one in the Rage of Dragons, with this latter reference implying that the other tower still stood. Eric and I brainstormed and decided that (as always) the solution was ... magic. Just what the Golden Lamp is and what it does are up to you. I have a few thoughts but won't trammel on your creative wiggle-room. Have fun with it.

All of the art orders for my pieces thankfully came through okay. As for the others, I think that is supposed to be an orc and the piece on Kisonraathiisar was botched totally. All of it was recycled art so the picture that was supposed to be there was the one Eric thought fit 'best'. I can't recall which it was, all that I recall is that it was from a book I didn't have.

Thanks to you and Mr. James for the prompt explanations. It's a shame that we won't see Kisonraathiisar's demise from Saldrinar's spells, I would have like to see an artist's rendition of that. I also recognized more than a few of the recycled art from other sources. Most fit fine, the above were just a few instances were I was confused. |
