follow Yoglyra; the third Y'kasheth ba'ar Y'katyz. In that sense, they
would expand upon the very sketchy information contained in the "Legend".All that relates to your question in this way...
Yoglyra (pronounced Yo-GLEER-uh) is the Leonidas of Wilderlands Hold at the
time of the Great Rescue; the Hold followed the OverLord to the Liberated
Lands, completely abandoning its former site in the Eagle Peaks outside
Point Grieve. I envisioned the OverLord as being something of a wandering
preacher (although one of my notes refers to him as a minstral), who managed
to visit every portion of Talania, sometimes being in one town in the
morning and being in another, hundreds of miles away, that afternoon -- only
to be in the first that evening. However, although I kinda thought the
Christmas story would transferred to be consistant with EdenAgain, I never
developed that aspect.Why? What did you have in mind?
