No, I have never had any plans for anything like that. The most that perhaps happens is that the Tovláugad may, at some point, send out scouts into the rest of the world to see if they can learn any rumor of the god who is to stop death, but I don't envision that prophecy from Tovlm being fulfilled at any time within the forseeable future. (I am also stuck very much within the "present" century of my world, and do not give much thought to what comes after. Just like I can't see the future in the real world, I don't see much of the "future" of my imaginary world, because I am concentrating on the stories taking place in the "present." This is why you will hear me talking about "modern" Trehelish or Cwendaso. I actually have a certain winodw of time which is the present.) Presumably, that Cwendaso prophecy will be fulfilled at sometime in the future, because I know that death doesn't win, but I have no plans to take the history of my world up to that time.

It's already been sent, and will probably arrive in your mailbox before this does. Read, enjoy, and let me know what you think.

Absolutely. As long as you don't mind talking to my husband in addition to myself at times. Frequently, I have trouble properly expressing things that I know, and my husband rarely has this trouble, so I end up conferring with him a lot on things like this. (I really wish that I didn't act so brain-damaged, but some of it is just me and some of it probably is actual cognitive dysfunction; I don't have a remotely normal central nervous system.) My husband also has an overall better grasp of Orthodox Theology than I do, which makes him essential. Isidora
