Out-Of-Game Discussion

It came out longer than expected, as the bishop once said......--Ginestre 06:20, 13 Sep 2004 (EDT)

There appears to be some problem - Andelphracian Lights were created by Andelphracia, who would have only been 5 years old in -325 EC. It's hard to think that she would have created the lights, and for them to have enough gestation to be the cause of a battle. --Morbus Iff 13:14, 13 Sep 2004 (EDT)

Not sure on this- doesn't the entry use Andelphracian Lights as a common modern example of smilching? Perhaps these smilchers practiced a very primitive form of smilching- firey sticks or some such? Unfortunatley, this ancient history is outside my area of expertise, but I am looking forward to hearing those more learned about this ancient era elaborate. When dealing with such ancient dates from the time of legend though, it wouldn't surprising if there would be some difficulty defining a date so precisely... but I think for this layeperson, the crux that needs clarifying in this entry is: did this war precede Andelphracia's discovery or did in fact her new, superior smilching method predicate it?
