I made a few changes (in yellow). The first two yellow passages are the result of my own re-reading. The third is in response to Coren.

Well, so! This is finally in the form I would like it to have. I've made a few minor changes (not coloured), but the main change is the orange bit in the middle.

Basically, there will be two longer tales associated with the Gobbleswap. One, the Fisherman's Tale, I propose to tell as part of this entry. The other, "I was a Gnacker", I propose to put in the library.

The "Gnacker" tale isn't ready yet, unfortunately, but I've posted an intro in the library and included the link to it in this entry.

A lovely story! Very intriguing and I love how you tie it in with one of my favorite subjects - The Witchking's Waters! I think this tale is a fun way to explain "insanity" as it were, or maybe such psychological disorders as schitzophrenia.

One request I have is to make a small edit about where this legend is mostly told. In and around the Ancythrian Sea, obviously, but how far does this legend stretch? I am thinking the gobbleswap legend is unheard of in the far north, for example, and could only be popular in the southern Sarvonian regions.

Otherwise, here is a blarrow for you!

No, I would not want to live in a world without dragons, as I would not want to live in a world without magic, for that is a world without mystery, and that is a world without faith. And that, I fear, for any reasoning, conscious being, would be the cruelest trick of all.

Thanks, Azhira!

I made the requested change (in limegreen). I think it makes sense that the Tandala Highlands would constitute a natural barrier to the spread of the myth.

I see the board has been deactivated. Lets hope for a quick solution!

Files have been replaced again, but the question remains how long this will last. SMF support will have a look at the security problem.

It has been hacked. The third time in 3 days. I need to replace the changed files again (won't happen before evening) - and then see what the SMF support recommends as a strategy.

Arti, could you maybe take a look at the RPG board? I got a message from my anti-virus program and now I can't access the column on the right with the list of current threads and the shoutbox. Thankies :)

Artimidooor.. could you please add the Northern Sarvonian Tribe's map to the map menu? As you know, my mouse over does not work :( I could't find it right now, though I know it does exist somewhere.
