  The incarnation of Ma'ar you are speaking of is Sar'terixa the mad.  He came
into existence when Ma'ar stole the body of a young mage from Kata'shin'a'in.
Ma'ar had the habit of naming his incarnations in either Shin'a'in, Tale'edras,
or Kalid'a'in(please forgive spelling).  I believe he used their name forms to
let them understand what he stood for.  He hated the Kalid'a'in with a passion
that was only exceeded by his hatred for the gryphons

This is an interesting little tidbit I discovered this morning for the
Trekkers among us.
Apparently there is a starship called the USS Valdemar patroling the
Federation/Cardassian DMZ.
Now granted this was in a book but Id love to find out if it was canon.
LOL

Gee, maybe it carries the new *Companion* class shuttles? LOL

Anywho, wind to thy warp core. <wg>

He has the attitude because they were Urtho's people and creations.  His
attitude got him blown up.

Goddess greeting, Listsibs!
   I have to be quick, since I'm doing this while my students are at 
lunch, so forgive any spelling errors.  I just have a couple of little 
questions.  First, as a birthday gift one of my friends has promised me 
one of mistys filk cds.  The problem?  I have no idea which one I should 
get.  Please, anyone who has heard any of her music, will you mail me 
privately with your recommendations?
    Second problem--I need some ideas as to what little boys like for 
birthdays/Christmas.  I want to get gifts for a friends children, but I 
have no idea what little boys like.  One is turning six and the other is 
three.  So far, the only thing I can think of (since I live so close to 
St. Louis) is Mark McGwire tshirt/Cards hats.  If anyone has any other 
suggestions I would appreciate it.
   Oh, almost forgot--has anyone else read books by a Melisa Michaels?  
I've found two, Cold Iron and Sister To The Rain, that, assuming the 
cover blurb is accurate, seem to be kind of like the Bedlams Bard books, 
crossed with a detective novel.  I ws just wondering if anyone might 
have read them anc could tell me if theyre any good.

well, my little darlings (2nd graders today, who knows where Ill be 
tomorrow) are coming, gotta go.

thanks for any help you can give me

Aurora Dawnstar

First thought: several centuries elapsed between Vanyel's time and the
Storms.  By the time the storms came, the rift might have been healed
enough so that the Storms didn't set off a major quake.

It depends on the kids, of course.  Everyone's different.  But in
general, if you want to please the *kids* instead of the parents, stay
away from clothes.  Use toys instead.  *Quiet* and *non-messy* toys,
though, assuming you want to stay on the parents' good side.

Greetings to all. 

I must say that I was quite upset at my english teachers for NOT making 
me read some books. Like I just bought the book Catcher in the Rye and 
such books as To Kill a Mockingbird. I found out recently how good these 
books really are.... I wouldn't complain about being assigned a book to 
read now unless there are a zillion reading logs and vocab. sheets to go 
with it. Maybe your english teacher sees something in the book that you 
don't. Just as some people read romance and WE read fantasy.

I have often imagioned myself in Queens Own, sometimes 'from this time 
to theirs' and I can tell them about our world, or that I was a Herald 
or a Bard.  It truly isn't that far for us to do this when the world was 
created within a mind itself in the first place.

This post is old and short. I'm sorry I'm just about 500 messages slow 
right now but promise I will do my best to get caught up.

Heyla list-sibs!  

First my question, for all you non-fluffy people.  I was wondering:  I know
we've argued the subject of Jody vs. Larry, but I want to know how everyone
would portray the characters.  Try to ignore the previous drawings.  Like, how
would you draw Companions?  Vanyel?  Stefen?  Lendel?  Talia?  Kerowyn?
Kethry?  Tarma?  The villians?  Etc...

FLUFF WARNING!!!!!!!!!  <----- count 'em up!







FLUFF APPROACHING!







LAST CHANCE TO RUN!







NOW ENTERING FLUFF:

::Kalissa Winddancer walks into a small room.  Black walls give the room an
ominous glow.  She wearily removes her cloak and sits down on a nearby chair,
her eyes already closing from exhaustion.  A small squeal startles her and
only then does she look around.  Sheep and ferrets fill the room, one ferret
on the chair she had just claimed.  "You again?" she asks.::

ENDING FLUFF ZONE

Shade and sweet water to all~
