Mille Lacus personae

Anyone have ideas about what mages would have been part of Mille Lacus at in 420? I just searched through, but I'm not sure who, other than the the big three and Quilibet would have been there.

Well, since you ask...
Believe it or not, I actually have, sitting right here in my file cabinet, a hand-written "Dramatis Personae" of the Mille Lacus incident. I can enter it in for you, if you like.

I'd been resolved to keep mum about all of my own stuff on what went down at Mille Lacus until you were finished, because I thought that it would prove quelling, and also because I like alternate visions of the same basic source material—that's one of the things that I find so very fascinating about fan culture and fanfic. I'd planned to see what you'd come up with on your own, and then have some fun comparing and contrasting the way we each wrote the same basic story.

But if you want a Dramatis Personae, I can provide one. (I can also tell you who killed whom, if you'd rather not diverge there, or even give you the outline of the plot as I wrote it...but I think that it would be way more interesting to see how our accounts wind up differing).

Way cool! It's just an episod
Way cool! It's just an episode the cries out to be more fully realized. Thanks for your forebearance. I'd love to have the list of people be the same. And if your version of the events was part of the current official history, I'd try for veracity to be sure. But I've already got some ideas about it, so it would be cool, at this point, to see what differences/similarities arise in our versions.

Having the same set of people present makes sense to me--the different renditions can simply be different ways that the story is presented regarding the same people. Then we can then look back at them and speculate about who in the game world might hold theses views. Having completely different people involved/or ascribed to being located at Mille Lacus would be harder for me to live with. It would put the two stories too far out of whack.

Thanks, as usual, Sarah!
