[QUOTE="arkwright, post: 7830941, member: 6925177"] How very interesting hearing your thoughts on the convocation, Ranger. Perhaps I misread or misunderstood the book, but my feeling was that Nicodemus entered the convocation entirely open to other proposals, and it was for very shaky reasons that he attempts to institute MAP in Book 9. I'll be honest and say that, at the time, I felt the preeminent reason for instituting MAP in 9 is to make Act 3 easier to write. If you intended to convey that Nic was insistent on the Pyre from the beginning, then I think perhaps you should have done a few things differently. Allowing for the various systems to be mixed together and redesigned- Colossal Congress, MAP- and then having Nic be on board with MAP undercuts the idea that he came into the convocation with preset ideas. Linking directly to the ENWorld forum debate where different configurations were proposed and you the authors went with one choice and were open to many, is confusing if you mean to convey that Nic instead has preset ideas. And... well, I have half-formed thoughts that [I]something[/I] on the Pyre handout should be different, perhaps something related to how much Kasvarina is mentioned, how Cula is used rather than someone with a relation to Miller or the Crisillyiri. Adslahnit has requested that I post some material from Arkgeist. First, [URL='https://docs.google.com/document/d/1odGpBA8e0svbGODW_QRUCbO98byJPogc2HVHSqAy_mg/edit?usp=sharing']Graves of Elfaivar[/URL], small epitaphs/last words from Ascetian souls of women who died in the Great Malice. Secondly, the 'sheets' I created for the various convocation factions, including what specific planes they seek to invoke, and then some new ones that cropped up.
