A letter to the Governor about books

Post by Tuatha De Oldrann »

~A letter is delivered to the Governor’s Office by Dove~
Felicitations to the Governor of Trollsbane,

I send this communication to your person in the express hope that it will be forwarded with all due haste and expediency to the responsible parties.

I offer salutations to the industrious keepers of the repository of knowledge of the collective habitation known as Trollsbane. I know that it is difficult work and I request that this post is not viewed as an insult, but rather an aide by a fellow researcher.

I have recently conducted some altruistic research upon the various written works about races collected in the Trollsbane ‘Library’, and have noted exactly 20 separate and distinct errors in the spelling and grammar involved in the descriptions of the Races.

To be succinct, I shall itemize:
First word is what is written = Second word is correction to be made

White Book – Humans
Page 12 – Sea = See
Page 12 – They = their
Page 15 – exciled = exiled

Blue Book – Elves
No errors detected

Black Book – Dwarves
Page 5 – jems = gems
Page 9 – Handwork = handiwork

Blue Book – Halflings
Page 11 – Handcrafts = Handicrafts
Page 12 – Shrings = Shrines

Grey Book – Lizards
Page 5 – Shring = Shrine
Page 6 – Rudementary = Rudimentary
Page 9 – Atleast = At least
Page 12 – ‘the elightened’ = ‘the enlightened’
Page 13 – THey = They
Page 18 – THey = They

White Book – Faeries
Page 2 – be = been

Blue Book – Gnomes
Page 11 – “..Gnome our equal in our Society..”=”..Gnome are equal in our Society..”

Black Book – Orc
Page 10 – Redimentary = Rudimentary
Page 12 – Trine = Tribe
Page 20 – THe = The
Page 20 – woman = women

White Book – Goblin
Page 9 – Lor-angarian = Lor-Angurian

I hope that these corrections shall be submitted to the scribes of your collective works about the races, and rewritten copies submitted for public review as expeditiously as possible.

Sincere thanks and felicitous expressions of gratitude,

On page four of the Elven Culture the "they" in the second sentence should be "their". Again, on page seven "They" should be "Their". I have just glanced through, so I may have missed some errors as well.


Perrilynn Appalachia Primrose Asmurf, I wouldn't mind splitting the duties of Scholar with you if you wish and the governor deems it so.

Felicitations Astral Bard Brer Beothach,

In my opinion, the more collectors of relevent data, corrections, information and snippits, the better the residents of Trollsbane benefit from the collection of our efforts. Research and academia benefit from those who conduct it for it's own sake, rather than monetary or material reward. If the governor seems placated in his decision to admit two scholars, it shall be a pleasure to collaborate in works with you.
Sadly, the Library's collective works are lacking in the rich history, knowledge and especially maps of the world about Gobiath. Written and bound works such as these take much time and research to compile, edit and complete for public use. It will be a long endeavor, but for it's own sake, I am elated to contribute what I can.

Sincere expressions of collaboration,

Hello there Brer! It is very interesting to see that also you have broken into the gouvernor's office to read this letter, but do you really think it was wise signing it?

~Another letter is delivered to the Governor’s Office by Dove~

Felicitations to the Governor of Trollsbane,

I send this communication to your person in the express hope that it will be forwarded with all due haste and expediency to the responsible parties yet again.

I offer salutations to the industrious keepers of the repository of knowledge of the collective habitation known as Trollsbane. As I stated in my previous letter, I know that it is difficult work and I request that this post is not viewed as an insult, but rather an aide by a fellow researcher.

I have recently conducted some research upon the various written works about Gods and Celebrations collected in the Trollsbane ‘Library’, and have noted exactly 25 separate and distinct errors in the spelling and grammar involved.

To be succinct, I shall itemize:
First word is what is written = Second word is correction to be made

Grey Book – Gods
Page 7 – Amoung = Among
Page 12 – Adrons = Adron
Page 12 – witha = with a

Grey Book – Celebrations
Page 9 – devy = defy
Page 9 – glistering = glistening
Page 9 – estinguished = extinguished
Page 11 – decomposation = destruction?
Page 12 – epotomize = epitomize
Page 12 – perishabieness = perishableness (mortality would be a better word)
Page 13 – leafs = leaves
Page 14 – Shivery = Shivering
Page 17 – initiave = initiative
Page 17 – mount = mounting
Page 18 – symbosis = symbiosis
Page 21 – bcause = because
Page 23 – cental = central
Page 23 – endowes = endows
Page 24 – as = is
Page 26 – dismissive = dismissive
Page 36 – teretories = territories
Page 37 – bacame = became
Page 41 – waether = weather
Page 41 – particularities = particulars
Page 44 – preceonceived = preconceived
(more to report next time)
I hope that these corrections shall be submitted to the scribes of your collective works about these books, and rewritten copies submitted for public review as expeditiously as possible.

Sincere thanks and felicitous expressions of gratitude,
