What do you call a realm rulled by a Raja?​

 

Do you mean a Raj (sort of Indian royalty)?

 

Yes, I have seen both Raj and Raja being used

 

In the case of Raj, the same word seems to cover the title-holder, and the realm.

 

Hi all,

I was wondering if there is anyone here that have read the Malazan Book of the Fallen series by Steven Erikson?

I'm rereading Garden of the Moon, and I just really like the character Lorn.

Is there anyone shipping Lorn/Ganoes Paran?

 

Oh the CHARACTERS are getting the fire, and one in particular - (cough, a certain young padawan) found out the hard way - DO NOT ANGER THE AUTHOR BY TRYING TO GO QUIET!

 

You might have a reputation amongst your characters for attaching "strings" to gifts; like a Stephen King' shopkeeper...

 

I assure you, I don't have a Sandy Koufax rookie card, nor do I have any carnival glass - but I did give a pair of glasses to a certain Specter in the form of a story not too long ago, but sadly, he had to decline in the end...

OMG - I loved that so much, I stole it for my signature...

 

Any good examples of cooking recipes people have come up with that actually sound SWish or have interesting cooking techniques they'll like to share?

 

I have inserted not one but two recipes in my response to the mods' dare challenge earlier this year. If you replace the ingredients in the story with their RL equivalents, it works as a soup and a roast. Not sure if this is a satisfying answer.

 

One of the stories that I read recently, had made omelettes with hawkbat eggs!

 

gizkaspice Check out the "food & beverages" section of the index in the Fanon Thread, you'll find some good ideas there.

 

Thanks Chyntuck! I'll be sure to check that out as well.

Sith-I-5 is there also a description of what a hawkbat egg looks like in said story or does anyone have any fanon ideas? (besides that it's round in some way probably).

 

How about making it look like a dinosaur egg or a lizard egg? Oblong, sort of leathery... just to be different.

 

Oblong seems interesting, perhaps like the eggs of an Oviraptor, but probably smaller. Semi-leathery is also interesting, but I suppose in that case perfectly round eggs would work just as well. Or maybe at this point I should just start writing biology guides

 

What if it's like an onion with a some kind of shoot on top, and as the egg matures, the shoot is sucked in, and the hawkbat hatches?

 

Very awesome Thanks!

 

Do anybody have a map of the Lahara Sector or with the Lahara Sector marked out? I can not find one on the 'pedia or google and I want to know where it begins and ends

 

Gamiel have you checked out the essential atlas book? There's a lot of closeups of various sectors.

 

Don't have it available.

 

You should try to get it online if possible--it's definitely one of the most useful guides around, especially if you're interested in locations.

 

Gamiel This fan-made site has an interactive map with sector boundaries. If you want more detail, you can use this appendix to the Essential Atlas to locate all the planets of the Lahara sector and plot them on this map.

 

Is everything except the Unknown regions explored and mapped for the Legend EU GFFA?
I may actually want to make my own sector for fanon purposes someday.

 

We only see the galaxy from the top so it is most likely that there exist sectors below the one named and possible also a bow and we only see the more famus sectors. Also we are dealing with fanon here, make up all you want and SW have never really cared about geography.
