I would say call it "Platinum Amulet from Kazan-Oud" - IIRC that is the way Dever himself clarified the names of a few Items at one point or another during the books (ie give the original name as per the text but also add where it was from when mentioned in the later book)

Using 'Put tick(s)' might be okay for a form of some kind, but I don't think it's appropriate for literature.Ingo's solution.Third-ed.And implemented!I'd forgotten that. I was going from the idea it referred to a valley in theChah is a river (see section 1). So "Chah Mountain valley" does not seem(er) 146: Chah mountain -> Chah Mountain [??] -> "...tough hill-dwellers from the Chah mountain valley, and..."to make sense to me. Maybe "Chah Mountain Valley"?Chah Mountains. Hmm.I've no idea. It could refer to the "Chah Mtns" on the map, but there is no such thing as "Chah Mountain" (note the singular) as far as I know, so I vote for leaving it as is.(ne) 350 (Footnote) South Gate Guard -> South Gate guards -> "...if your weapons and weapon-like Special Items were confiscated by the South Gate Guard, they..."I'd say "South Gate Guard" is correct. The fact that "Guard" iscapitalized indicates that it does not refer to a single person but to the entity formed by all guards. Or maybe I'm just making this up since it works that way in German where "Wache" can refer to a single person as well as to the entity formed by several people and even to the building housing theguard.It's not wrong per se, but ISTR "guards" is used in the book rather than "Guard". I could be wrong, though.Cf. King's Guard in Flight from the Dark section 6.OK both rejected.Everything has been resolved except for the strange Platinum Amulet from Book 7 that can't be used in this book. We could footnote 48 and 59 in this book, but would a better solution be to alter Book 7 Sections 15 and 90 from "Platinum Amulet" -> "Platinum Kazan-Oud Amulet" or "Kazan-Oud Amulet"?Aside from this issues, Books 1-9 are good to go. -- Simon Osborne Project Aon ~~~~~~ Manage your subscription at //www.freelists.org/list/projectaon
