Urth is a colonised planet

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.

Dis is named after a city in hell. I know this from playing Doom in the 90's.

Second volume submitted but hasn't gone through editing ... anyone's guess. When I submit the final part ( gonna be 3 - got too long) then it might be reapportioned for equally sized hardbacks, which I think is probably wise, or no one will buy volume 3. There is almost no editing to do compared to last time, so I hope Matthew can get through it soon. 

I think volume two is far superior to the first.

Huh. You know, I never thought of that.  =) Thank you, Marc.
Say, when is the second volume of your Light and Shadow book coming out from Castalia?

Yes, well known the planets were named for Norns, urth, skald, verthandi.

They may be colonists in the sense of random settlers in another country, like ex-pats. But not in the sense of a imperialistic colonization scheme such as in Cerberus. There is I believe no indication that the autarch is subjected to the kakogens which would have pointed to a foreign power ruling. A foreign power ruling indigenous elites is a sure sign of colonization, like the Dutch East Indies.

By the way. Yesterday I read in a piece about Lovecraft that Urth means  'fate' and also 'turn' or 'bend' in Old Norse. The word 'weird' is derived from it. I was always thinking 'urth' was a simple bastardization of earth. Anybody knew this? It was a surprise to me. Fate and the turning of deep time.

Rather it strikes me that Abaia's undines are indeed colonists, or among 
them. It's not clear if they are beings who have swum here across space, 
or Urthly humans who were given such power with their collossal size.
