The Lingering Darkness Planning/Discussion Thread

[Hilde Bracegirdle]

Ealasaide I have emailed you the post for Menecin to follow Naiore's.

I am bringing this forward the outline, and have attempted to add in Nerindel's more recent thoughts. In other words, I think this is how it goes.... Please feel free to change it if I haven't got it quite right. Just thought it needed to be updated, and handy.
