Happy Holidays all, and g'devening (or g'day, depending on your location).

I am happy to say that we are near the end of the beginning...er...the beginning of the end, perhaps. Welcome aboard Garen. As I professed to you earlier, it is always nice to be writing alongside veterans, and I see many have become involved in this game. I look forward to the start of this journey.

Nuranar and Garen: Both bios great. Lissi and Angóre will certainly develop, I'm sure, into wonderful characters which I cannot wait to have fleshed out. Nuranar, your First Post needs no alterations that I can see, but I'm going to review *all* First Posts before the game begins to work out any kinks. If it seems, then, like I'm being nitpicky, don't worry. I was born and, I fear, I shall die a perfectionist, so you'll all just have to suffer my wrath - or not. Garen, you need not feel rushed about your own First Post. Also, alak, perhaps you could give us/me a little snippit of bio or post so that I could get the gist of either? Once I know the direction of your character so far, it will be easier for me to overview it and then approve it officially once the bio and first post are done. But, I digress.

I may not be on much for a few days, but only a few. New Year's Eve calls me off for a series of festivities, so I won't really be able to do much on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday of this week[end]. I will be mostly active next week, and make a full-fledged return to the Downs in the second week of January. Then, I can answer PMs and whatnot, but I'm sure most things will be sorted out that need to be sorted out in my brief absence. Once again, have a very merry cornucopia of holidays, and a happy New Year!
