    I had considered the question of what the older beings might
remember myself, and I like the idea of pushing the cataclysm back.
It's a neat idea that the world at large accepts the story (or
mythology) they have been told, while some of the dragons and elven
elders may know the truth.  Lots of cool potential there for future
plots.
    I meant to put out an e-mail yesterday about the Sigil, but had no
time.  If someone would like to put their two cents in about the group,
I'd like to hear it.  I'm curious to see what Damon has planned.  He is
going to be DMing a group of eight characters, all of them pretty
tough.  (If Keith would ever be free, Damon would have ten characters!)
With that many characters running around, just what sort of threats is
Damon going to have them face?
