Eidolon or Aquastor?

O'Donnell, Tim BOSI · 03 Dec 2008, 16:24 · from 2008-December.txt.gz

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Hahaha, Brilliant!

Thanks Brunians!

Man, I think Ghoul is going to be one my new favourite words.

A ghost is a remnant of a dead entity, normally a person.

A ghoul is a creature that eats the bodies of the dead. It may or may not
have been a living person at some point.

That said, I agree with you that Wolfe is using eidolon and aquastor
interchangeably.
