Nice to meet another Latin speaker (well, as close as one can get to being one without anyone actually speaking it today) (as you can tell, I&#8217;m rather bitter about that).

I still agree with what <a href='https://storyembers.org/members/r-m-archer/' rel="nofollow ugc">@r-m-archer</a> said earlier, about how the pre-redemption OT God was still personal. Either way, you have a massive task ahead and I look forward to seeing what you do. Is <em>The Lore of Yore</em> currently pre- or post-redemption?</p>
