ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I am greatly obliged to David S. Cargo for the
design of Heathwill Library; and to Michael Mornard for advice
concerning the castle of the Dragon King.
As always, I owe more than I can say to Steven
Brust, Nate Bucklin, Emma Bull, Kara Dalkey, Will Shetterly, and
Patricia Wrede for providing kindness and censure in the
appropriate doses.
