There are <i>occasional</i> wyrms which don't like compliments, and trying it on a paranoid dragon or one which thinks that you're secretly making fun of it is a BAD idea, but most dragons will sit there all day listening to someone telling them how great they are, so long as the speaker delivers the words in a reasonably convincing manner, and the dragon is sufficiently well fed. •

•Anyhow, my given name is Saruman, modestly also styled 'the Wise'. I had a colleague or four, a while back, but they proved alas to lack my foresight, and in one manner or another have all fallen by the wayside. But I have contacted you in the hope that if anything should go wrong that such is your state that it will not matter much in the way to the world. I do not want to know names. I repeat, I absolutely am NOT interested in names. Names are dangerous, as past experience has painfully demonstrated. However, I have contacted you to inquire if - whilst you were an active deity - there was ever a moment when you had a sense of anything <i>outside</i>. It may sound ridiculous I know, and it's rather difficult for me to explain exactly what I mean. But, nagging away at the edge of your divine consciousness, did you ever have a feeling of being watched by anything - from beyond the confines of the multiverse, I suppose, is the best way to define it. Or if not watched, then did you ever have a sense of anything simply <i>there</i>? I repeat, please no names for such things. •</p>To Lynora:

•You do not wish to hear of my advancements of the fields of arcane knowledge, however, I suspect. A couple of times I advised the Eighth Runelord, before he got all hoity-toity after some poor twits got his lady-love killed and he went off to the Realms of Dream to put himself out of the way of the temptation to do someone a mischief. I'm unclear if you were acquainted with him or not. •</p>To Lynora:
