Personally, I'd be more interested in what became of Tir na nOg (or rather, how much they choose to trample and destroy it in 4). But yes. Preferrably a myths of Europe book covering al the mysticalaspects of the continent, from prague's shedim trap church to the Bretagne fog to the Tirs (including Pomorya) And now for an OT question: - If the Heavenherds are Thera, Tir Taingire is Sereatha, and Tir na nOg is Blood Forest, would Pomorya be Shosara? Or would that rather be Trans-Latvia? How about are TnO founders reincarnating elves (i.e. Imago or TnO) or immortal elves? Why are Sean Laverty and Lugh of the Surehand (both Irish elves) in TT instead of TnO? Are there any Immortal Vampires or Nosferatu (or other infected) from the 4th age? What is Alachia's real standing (not in her own words) among the Irish elves? What are those Egyptians form T:AL up to? Which was the 3rd Great Dragon to help create Amazonia? Is Howlying Coyote REALLY dead? (read the description carefully) Why would Lugh run from the Ghosts, if he could train the Bratach Gheal to be as effective as they are? What is Urdli up to these days? Why doesn't Dodger and Megaera get more support from Laverty or any of the other Princes? What are the Ghost Dancers up to these days? does anyone lead them? |

Just what are NERPS made of? (25 Karma to the one who actually gets the film reference I'm thinking of.) How fast would a para-woodchuck chuck you if you put your hand near it's mouth? If you shoot a corp-guard & there's no-one around, does it still count? Will there ever be transformable drones? (an actual question posed to me by another player) Can a character have a relationship with a vampire in-game & remain uninfected? Soylent Green? |

How about are TnO founders reincarnating elves (i.e. Imago or TnO) or immortal elves?
- Immortals hiding behind the concept of reincarnation. Big D´s will offers a price for full disclosure to Tno or TT, first come first served. Are there any Immortal Vampires or Nosferatu (or other infected) from the 4th age? - Possible, but not established AFAIK. What is Alachia's real standing (not in her own words) among the Irish elves? - She is the queen´s mother, and a long-time queen. Good or not? Depends on the faction. Which was the 3rd Great Dragon to help create Amazonia? - AniH gives the top-spot to Mujaji, my own was for some reason Arleesh. What are the Ghost Dancers up to these days? does anyone lead them? - Those who are still alive are part of the NAN shaman caste. Q: "Look for the one who howls under a moonless sky" = Thais???

How does Dunk's offer of disclosure make them Immortal Elves? and which ones are the Immortals of the known rulers holding positions? QUOTE What is Alachia's real standing (not in her own words) among the Irish elves? - She is the queen´s mother, and a long-time queen. Good or not? Depends on the faction. Alachia has claimed a lot of things, some of which are demonstrably true some of which are demonstrably false. Regardless of parentage, what is her status there? QUOTE What are the Ghost Dancers up to these days? does anyone lead them? - Those who are still alive are part of the NAN shaman caste. We know who they are, but what are they doing? They have the power to bring down governments, destroy nations, and make Dragons , Totem spirits, and IEs fear their magic power... so what are they doing? |

They are immortal because some of them are already around in Earthdawn, see Aina from Worlds without End. Reincarnation is a special angle that is true for the true love of Serrin, Kristin (name?), for very romantic reasons. Alachia was the queen of Blood Wood in ED. She is the mother of Lady Brane Deigh (spelling?), Worlds without End again. The ghost dancers disbanded into the NAN. Those who survived. The lower ranks where used for their life´s power, the higher ups where politicians anyway. |

I always figured that Griffins were the awakened version of the Duck Billed Platypus.

It's been referred to in DidS and DidS 2. Whether it's also made it's way into Germany SB is something I don't know. Actually, IIRC the sub-Rhine-area dwarf kingdom was first mentioned in Alper's abysmal SR novels - its only appearance in an actual sourcebook is in DidS2. And there it is explained as a somewhat cult-ish medieval/fantasy LARP community... |

- What or who sent that enigmatic message to Fastjack on the day of Awakening ?
- What happened in Tunguska ? Who's that spirit rulling Yakut ? - What is that "Project Infinity" ? |

What section? (still working on it) That should be self-evident. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif) His kids yes. I don't recall Kham himself though. He is mentioned as well in the same place. Read carefully. |

The lower ranks where used for their life´s power, the higher ups where politicians anyway. Have you read TnO? It isn't heavy on the ED connections and you'll see a lot about elves reincarnating from a prior age. Read World Without End closer, Aina specifically is not an Irish elf and not part of TnO. She doesn't want to be a part of anything Alachia is. But if you're sure they're all immortal elves, can you name them besides Alachia? |

Ancient Historys page on Immortals
Yes, I own TnO. The path of the wheel is spiritual, think hinduism. People believe in reincarnation. Speaking in ED terms, you are creating one giant group pattern for the followers of your path. The only reference for true reincarnation I recall is Black Madonna?, where one elven spirit is condemned to die and be reborn until it fulfills destiny. |

Nosferatu '55 too, where Serrin and that south african girl meet and find they're spirits kept apart again and again but in eternal love.

Speaking in ED terms, you are creating one giant group pattern for the followers of your path. The only reference for true reincarnation I recall is Black Madonna?, where one elven spirit is condemned to die and be reborn until it fulfills destiny. You should read Ancient History's site and count how many of them are Irish elves involved with the government of TnO. It isn't that they don't exist, we have two Irish elves in TT so surely there should be a bunch in actual Tno? Until we know who the leaders of TnO actually are, like names and some history it is premature to say they're IEs or something else. The adventure Imago also is heavily based on reincarnation though not specifically on the Ways and Paths. Furthermore I need to correct a misconception on the Great Ghost Dance. They're not all Shamans, a shaman only needs to lead the dance but mundanes can fuel the dance. This is from the novel "Find your own Truth" by Robert N. Charrette. |

QUOTE We know who they are, but what are they doing? They have the power to bring down governments, destroy nations, and make Dragons , Totem spirits, and IEs fear their magic power... so what are they doing? The Ghost dancers themselves aren't that important. Basically, the Great Ghost Dance is a massively powerful blood magic ritual, with Drain measured in the number of people who died. Who's in the dance isn't important. What matters is who knows the ritual, and can convince enough people to join in to give the dance its power. Daniel Howling Coyote was one of these figures, and he fell in the original trilogy to defeat Spider. Other major figures are scattered all over the place in the various books; it all just boils down to political power. Those are the figures you should be watching: the ones who have the knowledge and influence to call together another Great Ghost Dance. They didn't have to be original participants. |

Exactly, and what are they doing? They're sitting on a lot of power when they decide it is worth giving their lives for. |

Don't have any specifics, but I'd wager that most of the figures who have that kind of power are already listed somehwere as leaders of the various NAN nations and factions. That's what they're doing. |

That should be self-evident. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif) Well, I didn't note anything about Striper specifically in the shapeshifter or shifters of note sections... Found the Kham reference though (no wonder I forgot it). |

A hint, read carefully the sidebars, and realize that she's probably not using that name any longer. |
