Im pretty sure that they werent described. Some of them may have been named, although I doubt it. If so it was probably in the first installment, or much later when the Ark returned to Alphatia..

People might have given some of them names (I named one IMC, for example), but that wouldn't be canon, so I think Haldemar's old home is the only official floating island we have a name for... - The Stalker ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 13 Sep 2002 18:33:16 -0700 From: Andrew Theisen <jsmill@WANS.NET> Subject: Re: Floating Ar At 11:31 AM 9/13/02 -0400, you wrote: > > Does anyone remember if any of the floating islands were described in > Dragon magazine, or even named? I think the only ones with names are Ar (the major island) and Haaken- and I'm not even sure if Haaken is only the name of the estate on a particular island, or the island and its estates (I think it covers the entirety, though). ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 14 Sep 2002 00:37:12 -0400 From: David Knott <uashell@EARTHLINK.NET> Subject: Re: 3e classes From: "The Stalker" <alphatian@ANGELFIRE.COM> > > For the merchant-princes of Minrothad I'd agree since they actively train > to combine their magic with trade and are renowned for it.

Most Darokin merchants would probably be Experts. A conversion of the Rake class from DotE to 3E might also be appropriate. ------------------------------ End of MYSTARA-L Digest - 12 Sep 2002 to 13 Sep 2002 (#2002-240) ****************************************************************
