From what I understand, the number of characters I have on the playing field is quite normal for high fantasy. As they make their way across Kassara, there'll be even more added to the entourage, including one of my favorites that I'm excited to (eventually) introduce: Aeriallas. <em>Eye of the World</em> had over 200 distinct major and minor characters (that's counting everyone from the main character and his friends to the tavern owners and employees at local inns), and <em>Knife of Dreams</em> had nearly 700! I think my head would be spinning if I had to keep track of that many characters. So I'll try to keep my horses a wee bit more reigned-in than that. :) Hi Latrina!

It must be hard to keep track! But I give you props on writing out where every one is at and what they are doing. That must make it so much easier. I'm off to read your locations/chars pages.. :) Wow, I did not realize how many characters are involved in Five Rings. It must be hard to keep track!
