[so: I think this might be caused by an extra space before the encoded 
ellipsis.]

[so: A ruling on hyphenated (or not) compass points would be a welcome 
addition to the MoS.]

[so: I think the original hypenated form is OK here.]

[so: I think we decided before to leave occurrences of 'Grand Mastership', 
although it is a weird phrase.]

[so: The original is probably a UK variant. 'Vanished without trace' is quite 
acceptable.]

> (er) 16tlov 315: the king's death -> the King's death [KS: Important office

[so: I think capitalising King is probably best in this instance because it is 
talking about a specific King; it's not a general term.]

> (ne) 16tlov 304: a loud Thok! [KS: In the text, the word Thok! (is that a

[so: It's onomatopoeia and should be encoded as such. There are no real rules 
governing onomatopoeic words since they're all made up! ;-)]

[so: My own pref is the second one since Pathsmanship is a Magnakai Discipline.]
