Revision as of 13:41, 2 December 2007
If we're going to name specific names and events in other pages, it would behoove us to include information such as collecting and transporting arms for dragon priests, which is information to which Caelumia has access, in these pages as well.
Obviously the characters directly involved would generally have the most accurate information, but I don't think something like affiliations against provincial governments would be an item to not include in this article if factual completeness and accuracy is the question.
Edited to add in signature, timestamp will be off but meh. --Navak 04:30, 2 December 2007 (CST)
