Thank you Andrew Leslie Hooker for answering the Facebook challenge and providing this striking poster, it may need updating with a few details but I wanted to share it with you as-it looks cool-and I need to get on and confirm details. I am really thrilled at all the submissions from you characters and I think this November event will be astounding.

I have reconnected with Larkfall and it’s an immense resource, but having reawakened I am sure that there is much more I can turn to with interest….
