-The link can be found HERE. It should also be optimally viewed at Zoom 100%, but for whatever reason, it always starts out at like 145%.

That looks just beautiful. Magnificent work, from everyone involved, and especially from LK and MT. Well done!


I'm dismayed to see I've been cut down! Now, I know I'm in dire and desperate need of an editor, I'm just wondering what happened. Did you use an older draft I posted here, or just chose to cut back for space*? I've written quite a bit more since the last time I posted, new lore and plot-hooks and so on, I just wasn't sure if I should post it on the mean ol' WotC forums. ;)

* You could remove all the blank spaces and begin new articles on the same page as the last one ends to save quite a few pages, I imagine.

You've certainly given me cause to try to finish the rest of what I had planned. :D

Don't forget: I've completely withdrawn my piece on the Knights Paradoxical. I hacked it together largely from the Doctor Who Expanded Universe, and I've come to decide that it's too sci-fi and doesn't suit either the Elves, Faerun, or Psionics in general.

If you do an updated version and need to know, then my name is:

Saved!

Like the looks of this. Big up for you, the editor, LK. Seems to flow nicely when read and the layout is wonderful.

I'll try to add some more pictures to that picture seeking thread to liven the pages up with color.

-BCM: The article on Psionics that I had was about four pages long, or so. I did edit some stuff here and there, and I removed the information about the Knights Paradoxical, for two reasons: 1, It needed to conform with the length of the other articles (not the PDF file itself), which was about 2-3 pages each, unformatted, and because, 2, I decided that it's just easier for me to deal with organizations not in a preformatted, uniform way as I had been doing, but rather, in essay form, of which that latter part of your article fit mostly exactly. Being as that it's already done, I'll (probably) still use it (unless you don't want me to).

-Suin: I don't know what I'm going to be doing with illustrations. While I did indeed credit the cover, and the holy symbols, I'm not 100% liking utilizing images that are not my own and all of that (and, those images were NECESSARY, so to speak). I have a small selection of images that have been made specifically for this in mind, and I have permission by those artists, the selection is quite small.

-When I get in touch with Alediran, and switch the URL to the Realmsvault, I'm going to be revising the credits part, and all of that. There will also be, obviously, a different URL to download it from, when I do that.

Looks good.

You shouldn't have bothered to post a link at CK... the very first comment over there was a negative one.

Also, if you can't prove you have the rights to any of the artwork, Wooly will erase the link (he just did that to someone else recently with another Netbook).

whats Elves of Faerun?

Those are those pointy-eared chaps with large almond eyes, who like magic and belittling other races.

Sheesh.. next your going ask me what dwarves are...

:P ;)

Well, he was reponding to posts by posting new threads (almost as if he had no idea how to post a response in an already-created thread).

Having more then half the new threads on a page is usually pretty annoying to mods (I did a stint as one a LONG time ago... elsewhere...), and I think thats why they went into 'attack mode'.

And why I suggested he put all of his links in just one thread - he just had bad 'posting etiquette'.

He also verbally insulted a mod... something I also learned about the hard way. You don't crap where you eat... even animals know that. ;)

Its a shame it escalated so quickly - what he was doing look mildly interesting.

As for Elves of Faerûn... LK already has 'issues' with certain folks at CK, so I was surprised he posted that there. I don't care one way or the other, because I try to stay out of this type of stuff (I'm a regular on at least eight forums, and visit at least another twenty periodically).

I'm just glad to see this project finally get some 'print time'.

I don't know, I'm not on many forums (this one, rarely CK and Planewalker), but that kind of petty displays of power are annoying. They could have just explained to the ''kid''.

Very nice document; great job done by everyone involved. I only wish that the 4th edition elves/eladrin were so detailed.

-The .PDFs are up and running at the Realms Vault. I modified the URLs in my above posts.

-For those of you who have already downloaded it, I'd recommend downloading it again from the Realmsvault for two reasons: (A) It shows how many times it's been downloaded there, so that lets me know (roughly) how many people are actually downloading and referencing it, and (B) I've made a few minor corrections, like spelling edits and names and such.

Hello everybody. I'm posting again after talking with LK. I'll try to be around as much as I can but I don't know how will that be yet.

Glad to know the Realmsvault is back up and running.

I'm going to need a place to host the Atlas when it's finished.

What's happened to the Elves of Faerun? The Realmsvault somehow disappeared...

Lots of technical difficulties. Lk has kinda disappeared. Check out his Deviant art page, he might have it in a download there...

Yeah its there, at least it was the last time i checked. What happened to LK any way? He came back posted in a bunch of threads and then dissappeared again!?

He could give sfdragon a run for his money for being the god of confusion.
