Illwinter in America
 

Hi everyone!

It is getting colder. The old rimtursar are awakening in Ohio. The Illwinter is upon you.

In other words we are about to come to the states. Early tomorrow we leave for Origins.

The winter in WoT Lasts way longer than three years. Not in true Randland temporal sense, but rather due to the fact the RJ writes like a turtle runs. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Illwinter is a spell in the game; it's also the name of the developer of ... Dominions 2. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

They're in America for a gaming convention.

Wikipedia might enlighten you as well [click here] http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

But leaving fun aside, I assumed that the name was not just made up. Isnt there anything in norse mythology bearing that name?

Please notice the cruel demeanor of Kristoffer in his attempt to Dominion out rival god Michael Eckenfels.

There should be a Bane Lord swooping down to lay down some justice on Michael!
