Although Lawrence Watt-Evans used Ethshar at first as an RPG setting, its primary encyclopedic fame and importance is as a setting for a series of fantasy novels and short stories. I don't think the {{rpg-stub}} is appropriate, and I'm going to remove it as I add a little more detail on the world itself. --Jim Henry | Talk 16:37, 24 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I've just made a small correction, removing a reference to something that didn't happen as planned.

I noticed Jim Henry's comment from 2005 that Ethshar isn't really known as an RPG setting. In fact, the last time the original play-by-mail RPG was used was in 1983, two years before the first Ethshar story was published, so yeah, I'll agree with him on that.

I've also filled in a little in the linked article about varieties of magic in Ethshar, and corrected the spelling of "gaja." (It doesn't get capitalized.)

I'm flattered that anyone's taken the trouble to create these entries.

It's new, so its not appropriate for reference (yet), but it might be helpful; http://ethshar.wikia.com/wiki/The_Misenchanted_Wiki 76.125.25.91 (talk) 21:15, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
