Monte, what's up with the word "fane"?

[Simplicity]

I went to my local WotC store the other day, and I saw it again.
The word "Fane" in ANOTHER product Monte Cook wrote.
What's the dealy-yo, Monte? I haven't seen a single
publication of yours that did not contain this word! Fane
isn't exactly a common word... So 'fess up.

Well, there's just two, I think. Hmm. No, three. Demon God's Fane, Return to the Temple and Guide to the Astral (if memory serves).

Anyway, it's a cool word, and I learned it from Gary, reading Vault of the Drow.

Demon God's Fane....

Hmmm, sounds like just two there Monte (or does the title of Demon God's Fane not count?)

Dragon 292 has an article " 'neath Xarcallon's Fane" by Robert Harris.
