[...unWARP!!!]

Good evening.

I can do the title, but the article's font is too small to read accurately. I have:

****
Among the many
honorable trades
****

I can't read the rest.

since the disappearance of Quentyn of Ridgedale from the Sanctuary lands.

Disappearance? Great, now we have another historical thread to wonder about. So far we have seen refferences to, but have learned nothing about:

The Wanderings
Establishment of the Sanctuary sans humans
Orcs
Dwarves which once traded metal but who suddenly stopped.
Misc. questors.
Quentyn of Ridgedale

Other than the events noted in the "Kings of the Seven Villages" display, can anyone else think of major historical events which have not been explained?

Ralph - Just a thought, but these might make good "extras" to add to the CDs. Each new CD archive could contain an arc telling the story of one of the above. Of course, the next CD must contain the entire copy of the F&O we've just seen.

You do realize that doing so would place a lot of demands on Ralph's time and sanity, right? He does have another life away from the comics y'know.

As for all this history and other background information we don't know about, I suggest trying some patience. He'll get to it whenever he does. If not, either write a fanfic or drop the subject; he has other things to do (not to mention two other comics).

I meant to post my own translation here, but it seems someone beat me to it. *shrugs* Oh well. I was bored and needed to exercise my mind. =P The scary thing is, I started to translate without using the little guide pic Ralph provided...

.......

Yeah. I have way too much time on my hands.

He's already doing something like this, with the "notebooks" being included on his archive CDs. As you said, he'll get to things at his own pace.
