Actually no, this is entirely fiction. But thank you! I am a history graduate
(Spring of '02, FSU), and so I have a lot of historical inspiration. My hope
is to create something like a history of a people. The Epic of the Beyhadur is
supposed to serve as the legendary myth that informs Olmish identity. I also
try to see my stories as parts of the evolution of humanity from one thing
(ancient caveman) into another (whatever we're becoming).

I just found a site called fontfrenzy.com, or something like that, and they've
got lots of cool castley fonts available for download. I think I'm going to do
a 'test' shot with different fonts and ask which are more readable than others.
I'm nearsighted, so I've developed the ability to read 'googly-mush', and most
bizarre fonts don't bother me at all. the font I used for Beyhadur, the font
is called "keltic", I can read perfectly fine with no difficulty at all.
Thanks for the feedback in this manner.
