And your explanation for the fact that nobody out of EB ever heard of Telam is "It is based on new unpublished discoveries"? When are these going to be published then? It is logical you get fuss like this when you put quotations in your game, when the people you quote don't seem te have existed.

Simply,that someone has access to them when others don't. It's a common thing in knowledge to have 'new unpublished discoveries' you know. Do you have access to classified government documents? Does your not having access to them mean that when someone writes a book about them after they are declassified, that book must be concluded to be talking about things that don't seem to have existed?

And besides, Ranika's reputation and word here is as solid as steel. His word on the Celtic factions has ever been taken as the word because of their academic precision, their well-substantiated arguments, and the fact that he has access to Celtic information that most people don't either because he has the right connections or is in the right circles, or because he happens to have privileges to access them in his own right. That he even knows about them is already testimony enough. We may take his word on trust. Either that, or call doubt on Ranika and name him liar.

For everyone's info, a short thread from a long time ago on the Cycles, with a final word by Khelvan, Patron God of EB himself.
