I wanted to say thanks and to share my appreciation for those of you who have written to me, who have encouraged me via whispers, and who have made this series possible. Thank you. Without you, Good Readers, I would have given up on this months ago. Your encouragement meant very much to me, though I may not have written of it then.

I want to thank the following people. Not so much the people as they are IC in the game, but their OOC puppeteers. If there's anything that this silly game does, it is to bring together folk from all walks of life. There's a lot of good souls out there. In no particular order...

Myrta - My Editor. The one person who I KNOW had to read all the entries. Thank you for your patience and your red quill.

Praise - As much a Jewel out of game as within. Her support was deeply appreciated and her wisdom always welcomed. Few sparkle as brightly as she does.

Dreamheart - I appreciate her willingness and trust to take the chance and allow me space on her most wonderful web-site. If you haven't been there yet, good reader, it is well worth the virtual trip. (You can also find all "back issues" of Zyg's quest there).

Freyah - A wonderful friend, she always lent an understanding ear. My only regret is she had too short a role within the work itself to properly reflect the size of her contribution.

Glimmerglass - Always an encouraging word, and always a wonderful companion to role play with. Definitely a lady with class, wisdom, and distinction.

Stormhand - He-of-the-late-breaking-news. If you had not mentioned Darvagers, I'd have missed them completely. Oy! You were always the one who kept finding the way when I'd get lost.

Sarrgon - A fellow of virtue (ducks and runs from anything thrown his way)...well, of great and appreciated friendship. A Tog in the size of his heart for sure.

Ammara - A good man, and thankfully patient. Always a paragon of virtue and honor. Well...at least more than half of any given time. ;-)

The Black Knight - A wonderful foil, a better friend, just know that Zyg's coming after ya to set you right.

And finally, but by no mean the least...

Damaria - Zygmund calls you Muse, but the feeling is mutual. Your creativity and your compassion inspires always. Your friendship is a joy to share. Thank you.

There are so many more I should list here. Quassia, Filibert, Chartaine. People who helped Zyg by dragging his corpse or who shared a tidbit of information that proved invaluable. People who have talked with the "me" behind Zygmund to offer support and friendshiop. I should go through the entire journal and find their names to again relay them here....but I am admittedly feeling to giddy at the moment to contemplate such extremes. Please know your kindness helped spark other people's kindness and serves as example to how the game SHOULD be.

Good Reader, I bid you for now, good night.

Me
