    iPad

    Well, here's the thing. I wanted a device I could easily hold in my hand that would allow me to read books, pdfs, surf the web, and use for D&D. I don't currently have an e-book reader and I don't have a laptop. (Well I do, but the wife is hogging that playing Evony. <g>) Now you might say...

    Wrath of the Immortals: what happens and why is it controversial?

    I suspect the controversy is that it's a "Realms Changing Event", that was very popular back then. Another thing that occurs: The Shadow Elves sicken the Alfheim trees and take over the country. As to your other question: Yes, the Nucleus of Spheres is a nuclear reactor turned artifact.
