Any idea when this is going online?
Although it is searchable as a pdf I still would like an index for the printed out version I'm going to take to the gaming table with me. So, that would be something I would really like to have in that pdf.

update: just delivered an additional section (The Aalk Athimurl layouts/adventure) to Nicholas. Meanwhile I am tweaking Bryce pictures and continuing the page layout. I think end of May/Early June is possible...

OK....I can't find my map of Jaiman right now, and this is killing me.  Where is Xa'ar, exactly? 

From the few clues I've been able to uncover, it is somewhere on the western half of the continent.  Correct?

Thanks!  I guess I'll go dig up my copy of Quellbourne and have a look around the old place.

I think 1st of June is doable. We have some beautiful illustrations from Wiliam Tibaud, some Bryce, and lots of adventures. This beast is going to be 120-130+ pages long when done, virtually all new material. I'm hoping the wait is worth it! I'm excited about SW again and want to get to work on more Shadowstone and another book... but of course it is your response and enthusiasm that helps inspire me. I hope this will get the old SW fans excited again about the world. :)

I think the work of indexing is to choose all relevant words you want to include, not generating the index.

I hope to see the book soon...

This would be great. On this I was a little disapointed with Emer II. I think nearly 50% of the stuff have been copy-paste.
