	Immortals
		Immortals are like the rest of (meta) humanity; they live, they love, they feel pain.
		Immortals have no inherent ability to sense holy ground, so most err on the side of caution; if an Immortal claims to be on holy ground, if you don’t know better, it is best to heed his warning.
		To astral perception, Immortals appear to be completely mundane unless they are capable of using magic (Sixth World Awakened), or unless the perceiving character scores at least seven successes on his Assensing test.

	Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows Review - GamersHell.com
		At least it makes a fitting title—for a game plagued by development ills, tons of axed features, and a walkout by gaming giant John Romero, this is one game that spreads its theme of sorrow straight to the player with repetitive gameplay, boring characters and a growing sense of doom in every level.
		Seven Sorrows opens to the melancholy tale of the late Emperor, killed by his six advisors in a bid for supremacy of the land.
		Every so often there’ll be a visual hitch, with a texture or two spazzing in place as was common in the PS1 days, and the 2D health sprites that fallen enemies drop look low-grade and cheesy (yet one of these health icons is a slice of cheese, so that works out).

	Amesha Spenta Summary
		The collective name of the Amesha Spentas and their definiton as a set of six or seven immortals (if the two spirits Spenta Mainyu and Ahura Mazdā are included) is found in the non-Gathic Avesta, in which the adjectives amesha ("immortal") and spenta ("beneficent") are sometimes used to describe various entities.
		In Yasna 1.2 for instance, the Yazata Atar is declared to be "the most active of the Amesha Spenta." Even in modern Zoroastrianism, the term is frequently used to refer to the thirty-three divinities that have a calendarial dedication or have a Yasht dedicated to them.
		In addition, the first seven days of the month of the Zoroastrian calendar are dedicated to the great Heptad and to creation, so acknowledging the preeminence of the Amesha Spenta, and so ensuring the inculcation of their doctrine.

		For the collection, a sort of family album in which each of The Endless is given a separate tale, Gaiman has assembled seven renowned artists, some of whom have never worked in comics.
		In the seven years since he stopped writing Sandman, the title has become a franchise for AOL Time Warner-owned DC: There have been myriad spin-offs, a hardback Sandman Companion that dissects each panel of each page, the illustrated narrative Dream Hunters, even a Quotable Sandman collection.
