Adrien HOOCK sent a HTML formated message saying:
>>> Why would Thera still be "unrediscovered" in 2054 if a few
immortal
and VERY powerful beings knew of its existence and probably its location.

Because its "location" doesn't exist anymore. It was cataclysmically
destoyed by magical events. Items from Threa may very well have been
distributed around the world by "teleportation". Well, not really
teleportation, but a vaugely described means in ED where a destoryed magical
item of great power can re-form in a new location.

>>> Could Thera have the same kind of spell as Parlainth ?

Probably not, even if they had tried. The level of magic was much
higher when Parlainth pulled up stakes and went missing- the scourge was
literally already begun. Thera was destoyed because magic was waining
worldwide, and they used dangerous mentods to keep it high within Thera.
Besides, they would have had to fool a lot of powerful magical
personalities, all of whom are convinced it was destroyed (or even had a
hand in its destruction). Of course, Parlainth fooled everybody, too...

>>>What the hell is Harlequin doing in Madagascar ? guarding Dunkelzahn's
eggs since he "retired" ? (Cyberpirates! p130-133)

Who the hell knows? I'd love it if Steve Kenson would answer this
myself...
OTOH, a lot of "hooks" are just that- undeveloped ideas the author
inserted without solid plans for future use. Sometimes the "hook" gets used
later for an entirely different purpose than the author planned, in fact.

just a request- its a list policy, made rather plain by the signup info.
