	Norse Gods, Goddesses, Giants, Dwarves & Wights
		This is more than just a list of the players, it's also a lexicon ("ordbok") of terminology one encounters while reading about Norse mythology and runelore.
		Where it is concentrated in special ways, here are the places of power in the landscape, places where önd may be manifested in many possible ways.
		In Old Norse this has connotations of duty and obligation, but in the most archaic levels when the term first arose, it merely indicated that which should come to pass, given past circumstances.

	Tales and Folklore
		The Norse mythological system as we currently have it comes down to us mainly from the Icelandic Eddas and sagas which were written down a few centuries after the christianization of the north.
		Some people call Saga a goddess of history or a goddess of poetry, possibly because the word Saga is connected to the word for history, and also refer to her as a daughter of Odin but there is no discernable basis for any of this.
		Listed by Snorri as one of the twelve divine goddesses, she appears mainly to function as Frigg's maid, taking care of the goddess's shoes.

		A Dover reprint of the Mythological section (The Lays of the Gods) from the poetic Edda, a collection of Old Norse poems compiled in the 1200s from older oral traditions.
		it contains the beautifully vivid "volupso", the norse apocalypse poem, the comedic ballads, the "wrangling of Loki" and "Lay of Thrmy", the proverbial wisdom of the "sayings of har" and the mournful lays of the larger-than-heroes, the volsungs and niflungs.

	Norse Mythology in The Wheel of Time
		He clearly was a very important deity, given the large amount of places named after him in Denmark, and that the rune 't', representing battle, is named after him.
		He is the god whose name is most common as a part of people's names, and many places also include the word 'tor' in its name.
		This is a listing over connections that I've frequently seen made, but which in my opinion doesn't go to anything deeper than a very superficial resemblance.

	Straight Lines
		Though the alphabet diffused to far away places, in many cases some semblance of the original letter-order may still be found, and it's not difficult to trace the development of individual letter-forms (e.g., from South Semitic and Aramaic to Bramhi and Kharoshti, to Malay scripts and their influence on the problematic Philippine alphabet).
		The use of various tools, perhaps by different people, more pressure here and less there, a twist now with deep impressions, followed by a series of light punctures, and other traits combine to indicate in Marshack’s view that spontaneity may have been supplemented with forethought and planning.
		Some grammarian invented the oghamic cipher alphabet, radically departing from the traditional A, B, C (G), D, etc. letter-order (though whether this took place in Ireland or Latin and Greek lands is still debated), and that a mnemonic narrative was used for education purposes is a given.

	Group Narration: Power, Information, and Play in Role Playing Games
		Gamism is expressed by competition among participants (the real people); it includes victory and loss conditions for characters, both short-term and long-term, that reflect on the people's actual play strategies.
		Although there are clearly several people collaborating in order to produce the game session, the GM is considered to be the author, just as in Bakhtin's concept of the monologic unitary speaker, the language of a text seems to come from a single unified source, even if it actually comes from several speakers (270-272).
		These items can be declared to exist in retrospect; if a dragon has breathed fire on a character, that character can attempt to "suddenly remember" that she's wearing her fireproof armor.

	Tamora Pierce's FAQs updated 9-21-05
		I've gotten complaints about this: many people won't want to read the book, because they feel they already know all the good stuff or they don't like something they think is going to be in the book (not all online spoilers are right, you know).
		I'd hope that sooner or later people writing fan fiction would branch out into creating their own worlds and books (hey--I need something to read, too!), but at least they're having fun as they write fan fiction.
		Listen to what other people tell you, because there may be something in what they say that's useful, but learn also to trust in your own instincts about your writing.

	Amazon.com: The Prose Edda: Tales from Norse Mythology: Books: Snorri Sturluson (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Snorri Sturluson feared that the traditional techniques of Norse poetics, the pagan kennings, and the allusions to mythology would be forgotten with the introduction of new verse forms from Europe.
		Snorri Sturluson was a master storyteller, and this translation in modern idiom of the inimitable tales of the gods and heroes of the Scandinavian peoples brings them to life again.
		From the whole Icelandic original, it includes the best-known material; the historicizing "Prologue," the main exposition of Norse mythology, as "The Deluding of Gylfi," and the narrative sections of the "Poetic Diction" (Skaldskaparmal), omitting the long lists of vocabulary and metaphors.
