[edit] Expanding the articles

In response to QmunkE's question on my talk page I think Races in the Elenium does not need to be moved just brought inline and reformatted to match the other David Eddings Races article - Races in The Belgariad, which I think is well presented and informative.

Also inkeeping with using the Belgariad articles as a standard to try and keep continuity in all the David Eddings articles, we need to create a Deities in The Elenium article and slit that section off this article, this could also incorporate the Aphrael and Azash articles (see - Deities in The Belgariad)

Another section I think we need to expand is the Countries in The Elenium, alot of the articles mention the various countries but do not follow it up with info, so to someone who has not read the books it is just a made up country which means nothing to them. So rather than having an article for each country like in the Belgariad articles, I think just have one article - Countries in The Elenium due to there being less of them and arguably less information to include than the Belgariad countries.

So to summarise, I think for a stronger/better group of articles on the Elenium and Tamuli series of books we need to work on;

Main articles

• The Elenium (With all three seperate book stubs merged into it) - done
• The Tamuli (With all three seperate book stubs merged into it)

Info & background (With a forwarding note in each one saying that this information is correct for both The Elenium and The Tamuli)

• Races in the Elenium
• Deities in The Elenium
• Countries in The Elenium

Characters

• Minor Characters of The Elenium and The Tamuli
• then the rest of the main charcters articles, Sparhawk, Queen Ehlana etc.
