Galen here, with just a few comments...

Quite right, but it'll take a bit of time.  I'll be sending
it to the _Black Star_, and probably posting it to the website.

We certainly hope

I intend to.  This letter will be as much a research paper, 
because so many people joined in on-site; as I knew they
would, and counted on them.

Those would be Lord Niklas Vasilievich, from Raven's Fort, and Lord 
Raimond George de Mora, from Elfsea.

I couldn't agree more.  What he said.

It's nice to see I wasn't alone in this.  Gunthar & Sara, you were
a good King and Queen, and I hope you'll do it again sometime.  Rain
notwithstanding.
