Completely neutral. Really. That's the chief rule of the Gathering, and if
anyone breaks it, *all* of the other mages there are expected to, ah, how to
put it..."lay the great big magickal smackdown on them".
So far only one person's been foolish enough to try...Ganchin the Impetuous,
about 450 years ago. After it was all over, the mages gave a heartfelt public
apology to the remaining population of the continent (things got a little out
of hand), but the area remains deserted to this day, except for foolish people
who want to find out if you really *can* still hear Ganchin's screams floating
on the wind.

That was indeed my thought, because 2 brains are better than 1, and 3 or 4
(Eric, Dave) are better than 2...

Absolutely! We'll do everything possible to recreate your 'fig here so you
don't have to risk the vagaries of the Postal Service, but just as the
Gathering consists of wise folk from around the world, this project should
involve people from around our world...
