First, all the players, past and present, from the initial group on the FidoNet BBS network, to the current players.
A heartfelt thanks to Nathan Weismuller, former player of Johannes. He decided to play a lerned scholar, and found the Zioth world a lot less complete than he would have liked. So over the course of a couple years, he was an immense help in fleshing out the game world. Without him, I still might know very little about what could be found beyond the borders of Huerten, or even inside them to some extent.
And I thank Jason Lomelli, player of Daluar, who painstakingly proof-read chapters 1-4 and turns 9-83 before even joining the game. The number of embarrassing gramattical and spelling mistakes has decreased drastically.
