King Anders

[edit]

«The most notable exception was King Anders, who represented Air in the final conflict between the four elements in the events of The Lair of Bones. It was possible that Anders' powers of Air came from being possessed by a locus, an evil being of Air and Darkness.»

This is a spoiler. Yet it is in the middle of a paragraph, and at the moment i can't see a way to tag it as a spoiler without marking the whole paragraph - which wouldn't be fair at all. I'll leave it as it is, with this note here in case anyone finds a way to fix it. --portugal 19:43, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

nope i agree.

the only option i can think of is to create a spoiler section covering the books, which will include that sort of info. it would be a bit difficult to manage, as you would have to think at which stage of the story are we stopping spoilers for. certainl infomation like that above is a spoiler, but for those just starting in the world of the runelords, so would finding out that gaborn is the earth king!


what you should do is add a spoiler tag to the start of each cahracter, similar to this.... http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Heroes_%28TV_series%29#Characters--UKbandit 13:30, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Novel Descriptions

[edit]

I cropped the novel descriptions on the main Runelords page to one sentence blurbs for a number of reasons. First, I've completed more extensive plot summaries of the novels on the individual pages for each book in the series, so descriptions in multiple places would be redundant. Second, two of the novel descriptions had been directly copied from the Runelords fan site, and so they had to be removed for copyright reasons anyway. Finally, shortening the descriptions on the main page slightly reduces the length of the article, which has become unnecessarily long.

I'll try and see if I can Wikify the rest of the article without sacrificing content. The problem with a series such as The Runelords is that there is so much plot and story lines, it's hard to keep the article succinct. - Runch 05:07, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Magic and other stuff

[edit]

I chopped the wizards section out, as well as greatly shortened the magic section near the end. I created a new magic page and placed all the wizard stuff there, and am going to continue to chop the "Races and Groups" section into several smaller pages, mainly so we can do more concise introductions to a concept here and then give that bit the attention it deserves in its own page. Will likely continue this work with other sections, like the nations and putting up a page on the netherworld, netherworld creatures, and the loci.--Nerrin 03:02, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea, I'll help however possible. - Runch 04:24, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Old Information

[edit]

The information on this page is at least a year old, all it says about choas bound is that it comes out in oct. 2009 and that was about a year ago. and that book introduced many new elements thusly making the page almost worthless to people who have finished books 1-8, at minimum it would be nice to have a date for when book 9 came out. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.35.229.72 (talk) 03:56, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Anyone familiar with this series care to add it to this list?

[edit]

Types of mythological or fantastic beings in contemporary fiction is a page of, well, fantasy works (movie, TV, written, whatever) and the assorted mythological and/or fantastic critters they contain. This series would probably qualify. Anyone care to add it? Tamtrible (talk) 10:38, 26 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
