Entry on Queen Jenefra.

The "Information provided by ..." bar cuts through the lovely picture, at least on my screen it does.

Entry on Daedhirian Undead has under the Daedhirian Mages (In "People") section the word "esotherical". Unless this is like aceed, in which case this is a genuine Mithato Moment for me, this should be esoteric, I believe.

EDIT: The same problem occurs under the History section. And many thanks to Judith for the kind Aura. I know that after my blunder I don't deserve one...

In the entry on Magic, in the Magic through Belief section (scroll up a little from the link), there is the sentence "on which clerical magic is based on". One of the ons should not be there, either one.

I'm bothering all sorts of people today!
Two incidents of "Dak'Dinal" The first is on the map of Northern Sarvonia which marks the "Ruins of Dak'Dinal"

The second appears in the Territory section of the Wisp entry.
Quote
In the Northern Sarvonia continent, among the ruins of Dak'dinal near the Kuglimz lands, Wisps have been seen (mostly from afar as very few people dare enter the wastes around the fortress).

Just a couple brought to my attention recently (and congrats to those who did, Seeker and Art, I am reminded how much you do for this project)

Quote
The Everbright cult dismisses this philosophy saying that Anilya stands alone and achieved her powers and status without the help of a god. Some sages point out that the veneration of Anilya comes very close to being a religious practice itself. (I have removed the statement saying that Ximaxian mages are not religious to clear that whole issue.)

The bit in brackets should not be there, I think. Anilya the Everbright (a lovely entry, Azhira, and a great pic Seeker)

Also, the picture of the Antislar Fire Blade, another great pic and lovely movie (plus sound!) is titled on my web browser as "The Crystal Dagger ('Sliverphial')". Not the url or anything, just the tab caption / window text.

In the story "Bandits" by Agran Velion:

Quote
Agran stood up, shaking form the beating he had just received. For several moments he was too stunned to move, but the bandit (amid much cursing) slowly standing forced him back into action. Agran grasped the sabre that had been knocked aside, [/blue] and slammed it into the bandits stomach, the eyes of the man looked towards Agran, and than to the blade sticking out of his gut. Agran twisted the blade, head down, and felt a thick liquid splatter over him.

Should be "from", shouldn't have that blue sign, and should be "then".

The Sabre, Althiert plant and the Scholars' Table all look free of the then/than horror...

However:

Quote
With the exception of the Centoraurian Cavalry, only a handful of master non-Centoraurian blacksmiths who are trusted enough by the Centoraurian people know the secrets too forge this weapon. Several nearby tribes have tried to replicate the sabre, but the curve along with the thickness only in the back, led too many failed results.

Plus, do the cavalry forge their own swords? Also, this means that the Centoraurian Cavalry are non-Centoraurian, and that not all of the blacksmith trusted by the Centoraurians enough to know the secrets actually do know them. ?!?!?!?!

I would cut the whole subordinate clause at the start, and add some commas.

Thus:

"Only a handful of non-Centoraurian blacksmiths, who are trusted enough by the Centoraurian people" etc

I hate to burden our Webmaster with even more work than he already has, but Shabakuk's lovely work on the Fymbels has the original spelling of Fimble in the Appendix on how to make Lewd Duck.

Ok... One section now done completely: Earth Heft Measures.

Still open however what we do with the three mentions of "ounce", here are the examples... Any idea how we could rephrase that? Maybe we could make our own Santharian idiom to express these "ounce" references? Any suggestions?

Blood Bear
While the terrible stories and retellings of encounters are enough to send a shiver down anyone's spine, there is only an ounce of truth to them

Alvang
In times long past dark elves, orcs, and dark mages populated the island, filling the isle with every ounce of evil they possessed.

The Gondolwenmith Men ("The Practical Krean")
Indeed, the Gondolwain approach the land they live upon and the waters they sail across as if they were conducting commerce with the elements, determined to wring every ounce of value.

Perhaps I'm missing it but excepting by looking through her team page, I can't find any of the Mullog lore written by our good colleague Seth. It's on the site, only walled off, as there don't seem to be any menus that link to these.

Quote
No limit on archers is needed, so long as the players are calm and unruly.

This is from the entry on String the Ring, and makes no sense. "Calm" and "Unruly" contradict one another. I suggest:

Quote
No limit on archers is needed, so long as the players are calm and not unruly.

Although this is a tautology, at least it makes sense. I would however say that:

Quote
No limit on archers is needed, so long as the players are not unruly.

is better, and that since the two halves of the sentence are slightly unconnected:

Quote
The number of archers is only limited by the number of armed men who can be gathered in one space to play a game without becoming unruly.

might be better still.

Just spotted it.

Also, there's an entry on the "Chemycals end Elemenes" that lists the earth name for each chemical; should this be changed to the "common/vulgar name" so as to maintain consistency?

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.
16 May 2013, 17:26:47
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.
