@Marv: That's fine. I think we actually had a conversation awhile back about doing just that.
@Dryad: For Gilgamesh's greatest hero from the First Age, I'm deciding between either Gilgamesh the Second or Lo-Kag. Gilgamesh the Second was the leader of the Council of Heroes, but he was weaker than Lo-Kag, making Lo-Kag the mightiest of the heroes. During the period after Gilgamesh's death, Lo-Kag's power waned though while Gilgamesh the Second continued to act as the political head of Eternus.
@Vault: Interesting Shardmind that you've thought up. I was actually planning on introducing a blue Shardmind at some point, though the color was going to be due to magical alteration instead of natural color. Most Shardmind are red like the gems of the territory that they come from but other colors would be possible. Shardmind also speak telepathically by the way, though this does not change any of the dialog that you have since they can just speak out the telepathic sounds for all to hear. Lastly, while the Mana Battery was created by the Well of Eternity, it now exists apart from it with each Eternite having their own Mana Battery existing inside them. She could still have been caused to lose access to it by something in her past though.
Do Gills have Mana Batteries? Yes/No?
Romans 8:31 What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?
1 Corinthians 13:1-3 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
