[QUOTE="GlassEye, post: 6787516, member: 40413"] Yeah, writing in Word and cutting and pasting into a forum post frequently causes additional tags to be added for some reason. They are easy to spot if you edit, though; much easier than working with the wiki, for sure. Thanks for the link, though. That made it much more comfortable for my old eyes to see. Now, some actual comments as to your submission: It's obvious that you've done a lot of research and reading while working this up. I really appreciate that you've embraced the existent lore and underlying structure for our world and used it for Iovandra. I would vote to approve this in a heartbeat. There are two things that would make this more appealing to me personally (and not related to my judge comments above; I would vote yes for this submission without the following): -- I'm not particularly fond of the title 'The Hidden Help'. I understand that it's a reference to the subtle assistance the goddess gives but it makes me think of servants in the Victorian age. They do their job but you are never supposed to actually notice them. I'd like to replace it with 'The Hidden Hand' or 'The Subtle Hand'. I would also like to add a title: 'The Twilight Guide'. This is a reference to the Hidden Path and what I perceive as the goddess's role as guide through the Twilight Realm to the Other World, which expands the goddess's duties to a cosmological scale and which I think she needs. (Although maybe you intended that reference by using 'Hidden'). -- I'd like a statement on her role in various pantheons and the area that she is worshiped. It doesn't have to be much more than: 'Though not officially part of many pantheons, Iovandra is worshiped in many regions of the Eastern continent including the Landadel Baronies, the Grasslands of the Pell, and many wild areas.' -- I had a third thing but since typing up the above I've forgotten it. If I remember I'll post it up. [/QUOTE]
