Stormwaltz Quotes/On Hopeslayer and Virindi

May 29, 2000 - [No Link]

The meaning of Bael'Zharon really should have been made clear a long time ago. Chalk it up to simple oversight.

Cambarth had heard sages refer to the Hopeslayer, the direct translation of Bael'Zharon. To him, and other PK-types, Bael'Zharon is the Hopegiver. This is really more an Isparian term, though some Empyrean might have felt the same.

All I really said about the Virindi was, there's no solid evidence suggesting that any particular place is their homeworld. They've been seen on Dereth, they've been seen on that other world. Does that necessarily mean that either is their place of origin? I leave it to you to speculate, but what's been said thus far wouldn't be enough to convince me.
