We made every effort to stay true to the previously published Dragon articles, but at the same time there were things we were trying to do creatively with this book that superceded some of the more obscure things that had been previously published. While the Silicon Sorcery article was interesting, it just didn't match the direction we wanted to go with the sarrukh. There was some talk about reconciling the two, but ultimately we scrapped that idea because the version I came up with and the one from the article were just too far apart. There was a similar issue with an article that was published at the end of our design process which made Set an aspect of the World Serpent. Again, that was something that just didn't fit with the lore we had built up for this book. I think the final product turned out best by selectively choosing which items to consider canon and incorporate, and which to drop.</blockquote>
