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.
