[edit] Krushor

"Krushcor was denied resurrection for centuries. This would eventually evolve into an important tenet of his following, keeping him from doing it even after the ban is lifted."

I can't remember anything about that, whats the source? --Tortanick

Never mind, I found it. I'll cite it in the article.

Argh... I tracked down the posts, but forgot to cite them? :P Sorry. --Kizor 00:30, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

And after I tracked down the post to cite it for you, I didn't actually update it. Ah well I'll do it right now, I remember where it was. (there done) --tortanick

[edit] Arr-Kelann

Just brainstorming about a section on the planet itself

You're all welcome to join in ;)

Cities Kindrus(sp?) based on florence-itally according to the printed works

Death Ray

Alive?

Land to water ratio

Races:

Sepient Races:

Elves: Elves have been mentioned but nothing is known of their culture or history. Only one elf, Aanlonar, has had any role in the story so far. hmm, there were two elves in for the death of kings, I'll add them soon

Dwarves: Little is known about dwarven culture or history, the only thing so far revealed is that dwarves believe the afterlife will consit of eternal fighting. To them this is an eternal reward.

Dragons: To Do

Humans: So far humans have had the most coverage of any species, however unlike real life there appears to be little regional diffrence in appearacne, all humans are caucasion, facial hair is also more common then on earth. The one exception to this rule is a Fakir that stars in the short story "the guy on the rock" however so far all humans (except the fakir) can be described as comeing from a medeval like society, it is possible that when the story dictates the introduction of a new culture, such as Krushcor's barbarian hoard, the appearence will change.

That paragraph needs a lot of work, help would be apreciated.

For future reference, detail is good, but going to such extent as giving dwarves or dragons their own sections - when either has only been present as a few very minor characters - is counterproductive. This is an encyclopedia entry for the comic, not a fan work for the comic itself. We can get pretty extensive, but taking away the distinction will cause disaster. I and a group of others tried once, on another article, and won't try again. --Kizor 16:38, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The picture

I changed the picture because:

• The previous one showed someone being puched through walls, thats typical of the action & superhero comics, Gods of Arr-kelann is neither.
• fights happen but rarely, a more common event is witty conversation. I feel the example should be of a typical event in the comics.
• I just love that pannel and the attached philosiphical debate: if god kills someone then brings them back unharmed did he do something wrong?

By all means. The action picture is primarily intended to illustrate the expanded and detailed powers section that isn't there yet. --Kizor 10:10, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Author(s)

The info box listed Chuck and Steve Rowles as "Author(s)", but the text (as well as my understanding from their website) is that Chuck does all of the writing and plotting. Steve is, at best, co-illustrator. I've edited the info box appropriately. Ig8887 03:00, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Arr-kelaan-ronson-bikk-mike.jpg

Image:Arr-kelaan-ronson-bikk-mike.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
