I agree with HLT - the Doom was not a ceasure. The fact that it was formed from yellow gold is the give-away.

As I recall we actually know very little about the Doom and how Kasreyn came by it.

What we do know is that it was created with pure gold by Kasreyn, and because of that had to have the flaw of releasing a Sandgorgon when it's name is spoken. White Gold is the only thing that can create caesures, and Kasreyn had none.

Oh yeah. I'd forgotten all about that bit :oops:

Maybe it's a flawed caesure :?

Whenever I say "Nom" (during the middle of horribly boring meetings at my office)... it never works. :(

Well, first of all you work in New York and second of all the absence of Nom (in our world) is meant to build character :P

Nom should cross all barriers! Even from fiction to reality! I'm still waiting.

Try shouting "Hellfire and bloody damnation!" That works.
