Which darkens the helm considerably. Then it's back in the oven. Open the windows. There will be a few li...

Crosshilt, gauntlets or just gauntlets.
You'll need gauntlets for spear and long axe anyway.

Got the domain name. Only for one year though, no sense in paying for more if there is not website in the works. I'll renew for two year if there is a current website when the renewal comes up next year.

How about going in on the hosting? An Archive was just adverising his hosting service.
