I hope.

All fixed, including the XML for The Dungeons of Torgar

I agree. If there was ever a more traditional (?) blurb for these we
could use those instead, or simply make our own.

It seems that everywhere in the books that I found it was "Plague
Lords". My memory fails me as to whether this was a concious choice,
but that's the current situation.

I'm glad you mentioned it. There's a beautiful thing called a wiki
trail. You summon this arcane beast by the cryptic spell <|[[Books]]|>
which draws its power from the tome Main/Books (i.e. the wiki trail is
automatically updated from the order of the lists on Main/Books). We
only need to update Main/Books and the links are automatically
updated. Neat stuff.

That may be best, especially since there is currently only one option
to view (PDF).

Slow as a sloth on diazepam. No, actually much better than that.
