Caesar: I tried working the numbers with 13 Land months to a year, but it comes out to 17.3 days to an hour. My other reason for sticking to 12 months was TC's promise with the Ranyhyn to go visit Lena at the dark of the moon after the middle of spring. A thirteenth moon in the year makes things shi...

Chance Meeting in a Bookstore.

In true TC fashion, I ended up in the as the result of several accidental events. My dad (as you can tell by me username) tried to get me to read the books when I was about 12. I tried it, couldn't get into it and gave up (good thing too!). For some reason, I remembered the books, though. I think it...
